Progress:

Picked up 4x1200cc RC Engineering Injectors for use with Gurew's Fuel Rail setup Available @ thesarx.com I was going to go with ID 2000's but couldn't handle the price right now, and these were offered to me @ $350 so i had to snag them. used for 2 weeks on a car i drove half of that time so i knew it's worth it. i will upgrade later as the gt3582r setup is complete and i ditch this 60-1 stepping stone setup due to time/funding.


also scored some Ray's lugnuts for free$$ to use on my rear wheels/spacers. kinda faded/used, but i'm going to polish them, and drill the ends out since they're somewhat dented. anything's better than gorilla lugs.


and then here's a teaser of the Seat Setup i'm going to be running for this season:


panties will drop ^^^

still waiting on DMAX Hood from 9kRacing, and BN Aero from fatboy garage. hopefully that stuff gets here soon so i can finish repairing the damage, and fitting everything back there....waiting for funds to order fresh Shine Auto Project Wide body fenders for the front (or get my friends Carbon Shineauto fenders)
i need to come up on a good ECU Setup if anyone has one they'd sell, or lead me to, lmk! really need to get my car running so i can test these spindles out before XDC.
i'm offering rates at advertising with my drift program this season, from windows rates, all the way to truck/trailer/car wraps... inquire within @ twinturbo92vr4@yahoo.com
Website in the works so stay tuned!

+1 for injector dynamics

but dude they arent that much...i got my for $80 piece lol

and theyre pretty much ford injectors for alternative fuel cars (like E-85=30% more fuel)

thats why ford has 720cc to 2000cc injectors

truthfully i didnt really look into them all that much. i saw a few sites at $200/piece, or a pair, and i honestly would've tried to get them, but my friend is hooking it up on these 1200's. i thought they were 1000s (which i thought to be small for secondaries) so i was leaning towards the ID's.

but when he said 1200's i figured id give it a shot.

i can always sell them once i buy the GT35r, and sell all the 60-1 stepping stone crap.

how's your car coming??

Finally got around to pulling the blockoff plates from my lower intake manifold, and cleaning everything. sprayed them really quick, and threw them on the painted lower intake.






Not too sure how i'm feeling about the blue color of the upper intake now... what does everyone think? leave it blue? paint it the same as the lower? or paint the lower the blue color too?

still need to buy more stainless hardware. Fuel rails, and 9k stuff should be here mid week (hopefully) also ordered 50mm, and 30mm bolt-on spacers.

going to mold the rear over fenders to the chassis and reinforce them alot. going to really try to mimic Haraguchi's Styling this time around with flush body styling, GT wing, and aggressive fitment.

i'm diggin' the blue. my friends car out here is all polished/blue, and i really like the theme.
i was a little skeptical on keeping the UIM Blue-ish. silver it is!

i want them polished in the following weeks after XDC rd 1. just no time/money for fashion show atm.

i've been waiting a few years to see my car at this ride height, so i'm pretty much too pumped to put this into words. big boy spacers are in the mail to make my battleship float again ;p
