Oh shut up! No one on here wants\needs this damn thing done more than me!!

 

lol owned. love the way its turning out maybe one day i'll be in your neck of the woods and see that car in person.

 

you know i am on this forum every single day and the first thing i look for is any updates with your car, that has really got to say something....and in a few years when i move back to wisconsin i will deff. take a trip to see you car. lol

 

monstrosity. subscribed.

 

anything new happening man?

 

Yeah Juice, where's an update?

 

This is the only pic I have time to post at the moment, not exactly a current pic either. I'm about to leave work to head out of town for most of the weekend. Things should start moving more quickly on the car now. I think I'll be able to drive it in a couple weeks.




Dave, what happened to the GTM? IMHO the SL-C looks much better. Your gonna let me drive it at 7stock some day right?

 

dammit i have the clean off the moniter again

 

dang i haven't checked this thread for a long time... good to hear its coming a long now!

you still down do fabricate some FTP's if the price is right? i will send in my FTP's for you to mess with?

but anyway, still love this car to death man! i wish i can put as much time into my car as you've done for yours... awesome car.

 

That depends what you mean by "if the price is right." The last guy to ask me wanted to pay me $50 to do it... the LEDs alone cost like 4x that. So, if your willing to actually pay what it costs then sure! Once I get the car running and bring it home I'll finish up the FTPs and get a package that's close to plug-n-play put together. I dunno if I will do the Audi style strip that changes to a turn signal though. The million color strip that I wanted to use for that turned out to be over 2x the thickness of the single color strips and would block more of the FTP LED spotlights than I wanted. Recently I been thinking about just installing a couple switches for the FTP lighting in the center armrest console. I'm pulling the stereo headrest controls since I am not using those seats, and will be using a CF panel with cutouts for the mirror controls top control and fog lights, since the headrest controls won't be there I will have plenty of room for the extra switches there. That's where my Line Lock switch will be going as well.

 

Juice, was your car originally black interior? It's off topic, but I was just curious.

Also, are you coming to the tentative tune in STL? I think we need one more deposit for it to be official as opposed to tentative...

 

Yep, was originally black. Dyno deposit or deposit for steve? Steve already has my deposit from long ago.

 

i just read thru all 45 pages... good job i like it

 

Decided on the SL-C after seeing one in person. It's been ordered and I'm patiently awaiting it's arrival. I still like the supercar look of the GTM vs. the racecar look of the SL-C, though after seeing the SL-C in person, I don't have a real preference in the looks department for one over the other. The deciding factor came down to engineering and the more capable platform. The SL-C is FAR SUPERIOR and there is in all likelihood nothing else comparable except for the Ultima GTR. The SL-C is a more modern and updated version of the Ultima.

The goal is to have it roadgoing for Sevenstock in 2010 and if you show up, we'll trade rides for a cruise around town

 

holy hell! ive been off here for almost 6 months and i come back to see all this progress on the car and now,... theres really nothing!!! man, I feel bad for you man, it must be killing you not to drive this thing!

 

slow and steady is the game my man^

aye juice i am down to pay bro... 200 to 250??? around there? let me know... If i was to do this my self, i was thinking of wiring it up with the front bumper turn signals, so that when they go on they would automatically be lit... the the thing that would concern me is what they would look like with the turn signals on?

let me know what you decide on the wiring man.

 

Hey man, thats a sexy *** car. You are doing with your convertible what a lot of us dream of doing. I just had one question...

Where can I get me a good resolution picture of your car to put as my desktop wallpaper?
Thats definitely desktop wallpaper material.

 

he had some nice ones he was handing out a while ago, id send them to you but their on my computer in indiana...

 

Any picture I have posted in here I have the original high res shots. Let me know which ones you want. Or, you could wait till the car is done and running and I take some action shots\shots with cool backgrounds.

 

Vmount test fitting with my A-Spec FMIC Core & Koyo Radiator:















I believe A-spec may be offering a Vmount FC kit once they finish mine. Not sure though. Ducting coming soon.

 

june 6-7

 

They better.....

 

I should be ready then. I'm too close not to make it this time!

I'll talk to Sean next time I see him and get some confirmation on that.

 

is there a mess up in the lip?

 

Yes. Somehow the lip I got was kinda twisted, probably a mold defect or something..... I never even noticed it till they tried putting it on the car. The body shop straightened it out as much as possible but as you can see it is still noticeable. I'll probably need to get another one. That will happen when the car goes back to the body shop as it bugs me every time I look at the front of the car. I'll drive the car for a little bit before taking it back to the body shop. That will happen after the Steve Kan tune. I wanna see what kind of abuse this lip sees after some driving anyway and since its not perfect I don't care if it gets destroyed. The main issue with it at the moment is the inside section(on the driver side) of the flat spot that extends towards the radiator hangs kinda lower than the rest, giving it that weird look. It can probably be fixed by pulling it up a tad and attaching it to the ducting of the vmount. We'll see though.



I posted like 7 pictures of the vmount setup but right now I can only see one.. Anyone else able to see the other pics in my last post?
