wow... words can't describe the excitement and amazement everytime I see this car... I can't even tell you how much I would love to see this car in person, nor I cannot tell you how much respect I have for you for your long long journey with your FX. Mad props to you for completing such a sick and unique car with all that efforts, times, and money. You deserve those trophies..

Thanks man. It's been a whole lot of effort with this thing. Not many parts just bolt up, 90% of the time it takes some extra planning to make things fit and function correctly.

Man was it a lot. Took a stack of parts and man ol man, Technosquare is the shiznit. From having a fully functional 6MT conversion to this one off BBK set up with working parking brake. Jees, I wish I started my build with them in the beginning.

I couldn't believe how tall that intercooler is. Had to do something about it being so covered up.

It takes a lot of work. Engine bay used to get thrashed with no wheel well liners. Than Zack made me aluminum liners that were molded in and that kept most of the dirt and water from the wheels splashing into the engine bay. High polish under the car is the worse though. I tapped out on the high polish subframe and just chromed it. hahaha

This is bad pic but carbon and blue kevlar modded oem steering wheel.

Big ups to CarNutzCustomz

Why the change to Brembos? Are they larger than your Rotoras?

Thanks Chris, good seeing you this weekend. I'm always a little worried about what you have up your sleeve. New interior scheme is hot, fuel cell and plumbing is gangsta. Saw your subframe stuff too.

come join the dark side. hahahahah

I put it on Friday night, I'm actually kinda happy it's unnoticeable. Modding OEM parts FTW!

Have had the Rotoras for 3 yrs or so. Nothin wrong with them, sold them to a friend and he's rockin them in red. The front can go up to a 405, rear I can do a 380 if I want. It all depends on how much wheel clearance I want. I don't want to limit my rear wheels too much. Still plan on going to the drags.

Check these.
380mm front and rear rotors, Brembo monobloc 6/4 set up, inside 18" TE37s. Race Technologies and Brembo FTW!

Wow!

My 380mm rotors and 12-pot Rotoras are closer than that to my oem 19's! I wish they could clear 18's like that! I could get a set of 18's for track wheels.
