Welp, I bought the car from an old old friend in texas. It was already swapped, had a build 5.7 in it, heads cam, nitrous. It was sweet. He blew it up a few years ago, yanked the heads, and bought a z06. The car sat for a few years until I finally convinced him to let it go to me.


I'm pretty sure it has Hinson everything, with the big ole radiator and the sweet fuel stuff. The car was literally built like 7-8 years ago. Along with a built t-56. I started yanking stuff out, engine/trans, all the interior, etc.

It was pretty scary in there while Blue Star Fabrication was doing the cage.


Got all the accessories from the 5.7 over to the 5.3 along with some other FC essentials. As well as a motivational sticker when I'm driving on the street.



Put the motor back in

And started to Party.


Here is a video to go along with the photo. I dont' know how to embed stuff here haha.

Here is a picture after buttoning up the Bay a little bit.

Then Steve and I bought a bunch of crappy Chaser aero and started prepping for Paint.

My wheels showed up in the middle of it all.

Back to painting

 

Ghetto Paint jobs ftw. Single stage, firemist orange.








Steve went with Midnight Purple on his car

 

pretty cool but still not a rotary

 

R2d2!

 

what hood is that on the orange car?

 

Dam that widebody looks weird. That v8 sounds healthy!

 

Those are some sick looking cars. Nicely done.

 

My shops driver has enough rotary for both of our v8 cars haha.

I agree, I hate my rear overs a bunch haha.
Thanks!

 

where's the beard?

 

Lowered lifestyle did a small feature on my car a few weeks ago






As well as State Of Stance(BeardLife FC | State of Stance)




I enjoy driving this thing on the street, its so fun, and to work haha.


Then I did some drifting

 

Nice dude.
We met at FD Vegas. I'm the weirdo that did Georges tail lights.

 

lookin good what rear fenders are those and what are the specs on those wheels

 

mmmf

 

that's a clean drift car.

 

Sweet drift machine! Is that an S14 dash?

 

Hell yeah, man!!! awesome

 

is it me or is your seat sitting sideways

 

Thanks guys!

And yea, my seat isn't straight. Its bolted to the floor and pressed against the cage so I can fit comfortably in the car. I haven't gotten around to it, but I'm going to level it with bigger bolts and some washers.

Thinking about doing something like this, so I can adjust the seat to let my friends drive it, but I'd have to mount it super super low, so my head doesn't bounce off the cage when my helmet is on.

Thanks! And yea, its an s14 dash! Pretty much fit right in with slight trimming.

 

I like it!

 

Go home pizza boy. This **** is whack....

 

George Marstanovic shortend my little camber things. *They helped a bunch. *I think I'm just going to grab a battle version camber link to pull a little more out and call it a day. *Might even toss a 10mm spacer back there too.


Before:


After:




Got some drift spares, but I put some 275 Neovas on them because Steve and I(as well as some others) are going drag racing tonight. *Woo.

 

How how much did he shorted it by? Thinking about getting that done for my car so I'm not at -3.5 out back.
