Well Kevin and I got a crap ton of stuff done this weekend. So here's some pictures for you guys.

Nice hand made hot pipe. 1 piece from turbo to intercooler.

General engine bay picture. Still need to wire some of the sensors so that's the reason for the rats nest.

Nice lexan windshield

Fruity blue brake fluid.

Manifold turning a nice bronze color.

Gauges and steering wheel.

Gauges close up.

The new paint job

6 point Sabelt

Sweet BRM exhaust and our free ricetastic wing.

Toyo RA-1's ready for some racing.

Still need to repaint the roof and a few other things but it looks like we should be ready to go in 2 weeks. It's taken a long time and I can't wait to get this thing out on the track.

Hell yeah! Whats with that dash though, you make it out of paper mache?

Post by **the converted** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 1:33 pm

It's fiberglass so it's ridiculously light weight ~2lbs.

Post by **MagikDragon** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 2:13 pm

great job mark, love the hood, So excited to get this on the track! Its gonna be a blast!!

Post by **USsil80** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 4:19 pm

did you guys just overlay the stock.. and fiberglass that... that is alot of work.. done some sets of fenders like that... are you going to sand and pint it???

Post by **the converted** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 11:42 pm

it actually has been sanded and painted flat black. I'm probably going to redo it next season but in the last minute rush we don't have any time.

Post by **the converted** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 10:20 am

Yeah mostly in one peice, still have quite a few things to do but we have a few days left. Took it around the block a few times and pissed off some neighbors and made a few friends at the same time. She's seen 11psi now and runs good and strong.

Whats with the bar going across aboe the steering wheel?

Post by **the converted** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 10:53 am

It's a cross brace for the roll cage. It's required.

Enough? No clue honestly but we will be corner weighting it at VIR so we'll have a number in less than 2 weeks.

LOL, of course, the TA wasn't there last year either... I hesitate to hate, since my car breaks everywhere I go too.

Post by **Ali 556** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 2:16 am

Nice Shfiter knob....

I never knew that the SR hase 4L....

Looking good,

Also if you Can Reolacte the gauges To the cross bar....so the driver can look and check every thing with out lowering his/her head..

Ali

EDIT :

Also for the brake cooling ducts you can use these and mount them into the turn light housing/area and you will get faster Air and swap the stock pop-up head lights cover for the sack(SP?) of aerodynamic

rain gutter funnels :

Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for.

AutoX photos.

Post by **a_ahmed** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 3:08 am

Kind of slow driving lol.. but the car looks awesome, I like your wing setup, and the front light thingamajigs with vents, and somehow hatches look hot without a rear bumper haha

Post by **MagikDragon** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 3:16 am

Yeah, well that was the first run in the car, and on that track. IT wasn't too bad, This was our shakedown run, to make sure we worked all the bugs out, we have a small oil leak, and we need to tighten a few things down, but overall its running pretty good. We got a whole bunch of data logged from the ECU and Mark is going to tune accordingly this week. VIR will be the true test of how this car will behave in the long run.

Post by **a_ahmed** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 3:37 am

Awesome Looking forward to that

Been watching this thread since last year, came a long ways.

Also if you were to make the dash look 'nice' (not necessary for track car lol but hey just a thought) you could smooth it out, overlay it with some suede or something and done done. I'd rock that even in a daily for the weight savings hehe.

Post by **MagikDragon** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 4:09 am

Heh that would be baller, but not for our purposes. Oh BTW how did those wheel hubs turn out for ya? Everything cool?

Post by **a_ahmed** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 4:18 am

OH YEAH LOL! It's been like a year ago I got those from you! Or something like early this year hehe...

Well I just installed them so have yet to drive hehe

I was gathering parts for a year and a half... finally putting all together now.. car is ALMOST ready... just waiting on coilovers and one piece driveshaft to come in the mail any time within this week to next two weeks... and hopefully by then car is fully back on road

My car is a long build just like yours... but I didn't take pix of my build unfortunately :-/ I took some pix from the shop the other day but they kind of suck... heh... and all pix are dark can't really see the bling as the arms are all 'stealth' black coated SPL arms.

Post by **the converted** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 4:19 am

Well I think that we are actually going to be redoing a ton of stuff on the car in the next year or so. We will probalby end up with a lot of different stuff.

On that note I guess we can say that we are looking for a clean STRAIGHT shell to swap everything into if anyone wants to volounteer one.
