Nice! I like the rear valance.

Thanks... The valance was a total b**** to mold to the car. It had to be shaved so much that it was almost not worth doing. In the end it came out good, so I'm happy.

When I first did the wing I was unsure how it looked. But after a couple days with having it on it has really grown on me. The wing is fully functional and adjustable. Once my motor has finished being built I will be entering some time attack comps next spring, so the wing will serve a purpose at some point. I may end up changing the rear mounts to come through the rear bumper and mount to the rear frame, but I will reconsider that during the winter...

I feel the same way about the wing I'm just not into big wings. But at least it is functional and not some cheapo depot wing. Nice work though! The car looks great.

What wheel specs? And are your rear quarters pulled or rolled at all?

18x10 +38 all round. My front fenders are pulled, light roll and one tab cut out. The rears are completely shaved and a slight pull. I also had to shave the tab on the top screw of the rear bumper. I also had to cut a small peice out of the plastic cover on the gas tank fill tube where it was slightly rubbing. But now I have no rubbing, can even go a little lower and do rediculous corner speed without worry...

Not sure exactly how low I am but I only have a 1/4" left on the body of my Tein flex's before I hit the lowest setting. I'd guess somewhere in the 2.25-2.5" range though...

Engine will be built something like this... Forged bottom end internals/pistons/h beams/wrist pins/valve and head work/cams and gears/port water passages/metal head gasket/arp all round/Kevlar belts/ms headers/twin 2860r's... Is the rough version.

Probably run 3 different tunes for street/play/time attack 550/650/700 hp levels. That's the goal anyways, I'll see where I stand once I'm at the point of tuning.

Thanks for the compliments!

Sounds a lot like my set up. 20psi (even on a base tune) with all that is pretty fun! Any issues with brake clearance with that big brake kit? And is it the 14" kit?

Sounds good! The BBK kit clears no problem, I'll have to measure the actual clearance but there's a little to spare. I ended up buying the ST40 kit which is still a lot of break! It's already such a massive improvement over stock that I can hardly see how the ST60 is even needed. I'll find out once I hit the track hard, and if all else fails I can swap the ST40's to the rear and pop for the ST60 fronts. I think it will be more about pads than actual rotor size, but we'll see. I really only did the ST40's cause I wanted the ability to drop to a 17" wheel for a different setup for winter (I try to run the car once a week to keep the car fluids moving). I also have braided lines all round and Stoptech 600 brake fluid which will help with the boiling points. Either way, they are a sweet setup and I recommend them to anyone who's looking for a BBK.
