sweet, good job. A friend of mine did the same thing with his car, but he just used filler...

It looked great for a week!

So what power are you expecting? have you had the engine on a dyno? Where does that huge *** turbo spin up?

Youve gotta post some videos when its done :oD

I take it the interior is staying out? two kevlar seats, harnesses, pedals and steering wheel and thats it?

 

THAT IS AMAZING!!!! OMG I love the body work in smoothing it out without loosing function. That paint looks wonderful, reminds me of something RE-Amemiya would use.

I really like the engine too, not fond of the intake but it functions and thats all that matters, that turbo on the other hand might ingest a small child so keep the kids away! lol

Damn, you're right on the money. That's exactly what I'm gonna do.

 

i never understood the point of molding bumpers... i mean, if you need to remove them, say for engine work or something else... you um..can't.

 

The car looks amazing, can't wait to see a finished product. How do you run the wiring through the car, especially around the engine bay, with the fenders molded on.

 

We've got some great ideas. I'll keep updating as we go along. It's too early for those decisions because we're changing our minds everyday.

 

It's a tradeoff. Over the years, we've never ever seen an aftermarket part fit perfectly. The car has aftermarket front bumper(DRFT), sides(Knightsport), rear skirts(Veilside) and wide body(2.5in front and 3in back). To slap these parts on and hope for the best fit wasn't going to work. Molding in was the only solution to make it look good enough for me to say 'Damn'.

I've had many customers bring me aftermarket bodyparts, Fab Kit(over $15,000 for Mercedes) to Nopi crap($100) and they all need work. They all swear it's a perfect fit(maybe in their eyes) but it just ain't.

I have to be careful, but I don't plan on driving this car every day. Hell I don't drive my daily car everyday.

In the end, most of the things we did on the car was, 'hey, why don't we do this'. And it was done.

 

That thing is going to be mean! Great work so far. Looks like lots of hours have been put in and there looks to be many many more.

As far as that turbo goes....DAMN! What was that other one held up for comparison? T-78?

 

damn that looks good. just like the others i wouldn't seam weld the fenders n'such some idiot is bound to hit you on the road. if your shop is looking for a driver i'm it. I'm looking for a ride in the upcoming 06 formula Drift season. this car seem it would be a good canadate. please pm me if interested i really am looking for a sponscer. if interested i can give you my resamue(spelling). thanks

 

what turbo is that you held up for comparison? and what color is that? i initially thought that it was Yamaha blue, but after looking for a minute, it looks more along the lines of R34 blue. what is it?

 

Damn, I would love to come by and check your out your work.. Where is your shop located? I'm in the Marietta/Kennesaw area...

Looks great! I forsee you kicking some *** in the future.

 

I didn't list the comparison turbo because its a custom T4 (no real name for it), the compressor is 0.70 A/R...same size as any GT35, TO4S a "normal" single for a street FD.


Laguna Seca Blue is my guess

 

On the $$$. It's on the M3's. Laguna Seca blue.

 

how much power are you shooting for?

 

Around 600.

 

I said "God Damn" when I saw your car! Awesome!! Thought this engine bay might make you "happy".

i've seen that car in real life many times... and know the owner vaguely...the engine is currently blown.. and the car is a trailer queen in general anyway...

he is currently "funding" a LS1TT FD and aiming for 1000ish HP

 

Is his name Salah?

 

A little progress.

 

some more

 

more. Still have very very long way to go. Will post progress. I thought I stripped the damn thing down to bear minimum, but it's starting to fill up fast with all the other crap I want to put in.

 

sent pm

 

this car is going to be amazing when done. I hope that center console comes off, I would hate to put that in all in one piece like that. Unreal. Are you putting in a Defi sports cluster or the motec one for the speedo or something? Is that dash full carbon fiber? I really like what your doing there. very interested in your project.
