no offense to garret but i trust forrest's work. i wanted him to do it, but he's busy. i figured it would be cool which im sure it will be.

i paid forrest for some tubes to tie in the rear end since no one in vegas will let me rent their tube bender... trying to get the car there tonight to help forrest paint his FD car while he does the tube chassis on mine. i'm sick of the 4hr naps here and there. will be glad when my car is running for sure.

plus my landlord came by and said the car needs to be repaired tonight, or out of here.

 

flip lights up.

remove 12 screws to remove the headlight plastic trim (6 screws each side)

undo the 4 small screws on each light to pull the headlight out.

unclip the harness from the back. (may need to undo the harness from the bucket itself as its ziptied from the factory)

remove.

throw in new ones, and assemble.

**should take 10 mins if your car isnt rusted out. be careful you dont strip out the screws on the metal trim ring around the light itself**

 

another all nighter went down. going to the shop to get the trailer/borrow some wheels, and take it up there for the tube chassis treatment to save my car, and weld up the back end.

got the majority of the motor buttoned up tonight. threw in the 550/880 injectors, S4 turbo/non twin scroll mani, LIM, and bolted the throttle body up to the UIM. reran the vacuum hoses to the OMP injectors to clean things up. it's looking pretty good. more photos later in the day for sure.

 

time's running out.... just ordered the fuel cell, some -an's for the oilcooler/fuel system.
really starting to feel the pressure. got the car to the shop, and busted out alot of what needed to be done.
bought fenders, new BN Aero, front tires, RPF's, project kics lugs, roof wing... $2200 later and the car's getting to the point where the only thing left is labor.

still trying to finish body work/aero prep and paint the car.

waiting on parts to come in.... waiting for the tune to be setup. waiting for the haltech harness to be buttoned up. waiting for the tube chassis to be finished so i can spray the chassis...

10 days.

 

Dude the tune is All that matters. But yea paint it too... And new aero

 

MAN i was gonna grab some rpfs since they are light, good looking and inexpensive, and in 17/18. can't wait to see this thing together and killing it! Would be bad *** to see it on some east coast events. i know summit has xdc at hyperfest and a 5000 tandem comp just incase your bored and wanna drive 25 hours you got a place to crash in va

fitted the aero, and fenders/doors today. getting it ready for paint tomorrow, and the next day. here's a little teaser before i spray the car.






6 days till podium

 

IDK If I missed it but how wide are those RPF's?

 

probably my fav wheels ever...espoically on ur car. cant wait to c the finished product!

 

the widest they make, with the widest spacers available to make it look like a BAWWSSS whip!

17x9.5 +18/ / / 18x105 +15 on 35mm spacers up front, full camber (spacers to let wheels clear at lock) and the rear is on 50mm with flexed fenders.

235/40's all around. big step up from worn out 215 federals i had in the front all year last year.

this car is getting the full treatment afterall. fuel cell, bosch044 external pump, all -an's, tons of Shine Auto Project Aero pieces, tube chassis complete.

5 days left

 

sorry for all the horrible cam pics too. time crunch sucks. ill upload more from my camera once it's painted, and together. i need to get crackin'

 

******* awesome..

 

love it.

 

thats what im talking about bucky!!!
youre gunna kill em all!

Lloyd

 

thank you guys!

Does anyone have hookups on legit clutches by chance??? i want to try to get some sort of twin plate OS Giken clutch, or carbonetic.
possibly exedy, but idk. i had one almost ruin an event for me one time, so i'm trying to stray away from them. anything is cool, new, used (must be usable for a bit or really cheap if not)

 

Man I need to get my car done...

Looks good Buckey! can't wait to watch you kill it

 

weird you had problems, I have an exedy hyper-single and it's great; no problems ever.

also, car is coming together nicely!!

 

it fully delaminated itself from the metal disc. like the clutch material wasnt riveted on right or something idk.

i had the same clutch... i've been running a clutchnet 6 puck sprung disc for the past 8 months, and its been bomb. however i do want to move to a twin disc unit sometime soon.

 

Updates? i check this **** errday for your thread. haha

 

oh ****, i have been lagging updates im sorry. it's beeen stupid windy here, and i havent really done much but continue the body work. filling the back half into the chassis is super time consuming... ill get photos tonight for this for sure

i update my facebook like daily with photos in the mobile uploads album. check it @ facebook.com/driftfcbuckey

 

Dude my brother is down in vegas right now. Prolly chillin and blazin at the shop. I was going to go but im painting a gsxr.

Gotta make that money mang

 

he introduced himself to me, and like 40 mins went by until i remembered you had a brother with an FC. haha i thought it was some random dude from AZ at first! you ******, should've came out and said whats up! my car's almost done. just need to get my spray on. im super burnt out.

i forgot to take pics.... :/ the wait will be worth it though. tomorrow.

 

Body work is almost done. still no photos. i kinda want to update this with teaser pics as my dad, and I spray it today. i've taken photos, but uploading is too time consuming right now...

here's 1 teaser pic to get some attention. if anyone needs hoodpins LMK! super cheap, and super ballin!


9k racing Aero hood pins! Thanks @AndrewMolina & @JoeyGrande @9Kracing!!
