So no real updates from me really, car is just awaiting some parts to arrive so I can wrap up my brake lines.. At the moment all the front stuff is complete need to run the rear stuff now. After that is complete I can finally take it to the alignment.

For now tho here are some pics:

Curious, have you load weighted the car yet? What is the weight distribution?

Okay guys finally some update. I finally was able to finish my brake lines, with family life, work it was hard to get to the car. I just ordered parts every week until I had everything to smash it out in pretty much one day.

Before we get started I decided to showcase this Cognac instead of beer. (since I have not had a decent beer in month). Anyways, my mother In-law picked up this Hennessy Pure-White when she went on a cruise. They don't sale these state side so it was a treat. This is probably the smoothest Hennessy I have ever tried..

Okay, so I got a little OCD with the brake lines. I made bulk head fittings for the firewall and the rear wheel wells. This way if I need to do anything it well be quick and easy and over all its just a cleaner look.

And rears done..


Now just have to bleed them and get ready to head to a alignment shop.. But before I go I will swap out my Clutch Master Cylinder for the Wilwood 7/8" master cylinder that Sikky sales. Reason for this is the OEM Cylinder can't handle the T56 clutch..

Tell next time guys..

First off no update yet really... I ditched the overfenders I have for the front and rear and have some new ones being made fresh out of mold. Reason for this decision was due to available for replacement parts. Old overs were from NZ and would be hard to get spares so hooked up with a guy in the states.. So should have those soon.

Pics of the overs:

I noticed some different suspension going on there. Did you ditch those stanceworks coilovers? If so, why...and where are they? I always liked the idea of those for low-ness and driftness but just kinda being amateur on both.

Yeah I got rid of those a long time ago.. I have no idea who has them now.. I really do wish I kept them tho.. since I was really the only one with them.. I am running the K-Sport ones now.. Which I will try out for a little bet.. If I don't like them I will change them up..

Here is a little tease of the fronts... Still have to get a alignment and get my fronts sitting at -4.5 camber.. Then I will add a spacer to finish her off... This just give you a idea.. Current front specs are 18x9.5 -22

If you look at my signature it clearly states how I feel about spacers.. Well since I built these wheels to go with my other fenders I will definitely have to get some spacers for these fenders, which I hate. I will eventually rebuild them so I wont have to run spacers but I guess I better remove my sig for now... lol

So did some measuring for my wheels and came to the conclusion that I will run 25mm spacers rear and 38mm Spacers front..

Also going to lower the rear some..





Also got my bolts in that I will be using for the overfenders.. Decided to get some clean burnt titanium ones..

I'm Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been way to long without a update.... Life got the best of me and the project sat for a while.. Had some more issues with PCM tune and wiring issues.. But now that is all fixed and we can start moving forward with wrapping things up..






This is how the car looks as of right now.. Car is wrapped in this picture.

Decided to go with a Hexis Wrap, color is a Gloss Saturn White Glitter Vinyl Wrap.. Looks killer in the sun.

As you can tell from the pic, I finished up my side splitters and also my wing endplates.


With all that being said, tried to go get a alignment the other day, but did not work out good, due to my car being so low and need a in-ground unit to get it done..


But once that is complete I should be ready to start doing some mad skids...


So stay posted.. I also have a vid of me driving out of the garage. I will have to put it up on here as well..


But get ready for some updates..
