Only one pic shows on the vmount for me as well. As for the lip, it will probably be banged up if you drive on the street much at all. You can probably fit it a much better when you have something to mount the back side on in the engine bay (undertray?).

 

Ok, I'll fix the pics. Yeah I'm thinking mounting it to the Vmount ducting will solve the lip issue.












Obviously the IC end tanks will be redone and the Koyo will need a few modifications.

 

I always only saw one.


And I think you did your FTP's like I was thinking about doing. Audii-style LED surrounding it? Hows it look in person?

 

Mark make sure you have the guys IF they are going to rebuild this Vmount kit for the FC, tell them to just go easy with the drivers side pipe and keep the AC/PS. Too many kits don't get sold because people don't want to get rid of one or the other for various reasons. Lookin good so far

 

Soo any new pics? It has been a few weeks

 

yeah really... common maig.

this is a good build. Keep me updated! :-)

 

anything new?

 

Not really. Been waiting forever for a new engine harness for my microtech. I think now is the time to make the jump to that ECU I want that will support my future plans.

I'm told the car will be ready for my tune on June 6-7 though.

 

Sick car!

 

So I just went threw every page looking at all the pics you took. Then i thought to myself why am i not outside working on my own car. Im inside just looking on my computer when i could be doing something with my 7. But seriously Juiceh the car looks sick and by the time the car is done all the work will certainly pay off, and the $$$$$.

 

so is that tune going to happen?

 

yeah dude wtf

 

When do builds of this nature ever come through on time? Theres always another performance part you wanna squeeze on there before it's finalized.

 

A build of this magnitude really shouldnt have a "date"... Like my build (complete down to chassis) is going to take 3 months... But who really knows.

 

I don't know, if he isn't done by next summer, I might have to visit him and give him a nice swift kick in the ***** for all of us.

 

OK i have finally read through this entire thread. Man that is one crazy trip and a bad *** looking car. I would love to see how much to make those FTPs and tails, i would love a set of those. Even if the car is not done, that is one sweet ride.

 

about $160 each i believe is what it came out to

 

Wow thats a bit much. I know for the 8 spotlight LEDs and the 2 feet of LED strips runs around $154

 

Nope, had too many hang-ups.

The story of this build in one sentence...

Prices of the LEDs have gone down a little bit. The LED spotlights and strips would cost about that for both sides total now. But that doesn't include switches, wiring & modding the FTP housings.

Here's a small clip of just some of the things that have been done since the last update. This is not current though.

I'm going out of the country at the end of the week, for a week. I'm gonna try to get a more current video posted by then.

 

Your "close-up" style still gets me every time
*pan pan pan*ZOOM*pan pan pan*ZOOM

 

Damn, that sucks man!

 

anything new happen man?

 

Awesome build!

 

Ya when aspec ordered my Microtech it took FOREVER. They were out of stock and were making them down under.

 

Everything is pretty much done. Only thing we're waiting on are the sweet couplers to be able to finish off the inter cooler piping. The goal is to be done and make an appearance at the August 1st D1 event here in Chicago at Soldier Field.

I still gotta take care of some interior stuff and lighting too.

Here are some pics I took a few weeks ago.




Here you can see my new turbo manifold. Sean redesigned it and gave me slightly longer runners than I had before.



^yes I know the DP has some rust on it... I'm trying to convince Sean to eventually make me a 4 inch setup.

Some of the ducting:





Here are a couple recent pics of the completed gass fillup tube. Sorry I didn't have the flash on. Didn't take more recent pics of the engine bay but its pretty much buttoned up, just need to finish the IC work.






Heres a pic with the IC and hood over it. The hole in the hood is pretty much perfect for the size my IC already was. After the D1 event I'll pull the IC off and have it hard anodized black.
