Looking good, dude!

Are you adding more bash bar stuff to protect that fuel stuff from walls?

Nope. If i do pile the fuel surge is for sure a goner... Everything else is next to impossible to hit. I dont really like where its at but if i go further forward ill have to sheet off the entire hatch area. That would look/feel gay

map, coolant, 02, aux injectors, 4x main injectors all finished up tonight. It's taking me a little longer than i thought.... Mostly because i keep redoing things better, or equalling out lengths, resistance testing each solder point... Monday i'll be out of town getting the tune going.

Paint going down today.

But for now....pics.



I made this sweet mount for my LS1 ignition coils.


Next i just need to figure out how to bend up some tubes and splatter some welds on stuff and i'll be jammin!!!

Disregard shitty bumper/hood fitment. I still need to recreate the core support, and find the OEM hood stops for the corners behind the headlight buckets.

However - i have finally finished up my 85mm ventless front fenders for FC. 100% symetrical between both sides. I am wanting to hold back on production of these as i think i want to experiment with a few things to make the car "appear" lower in certain areas. But if anyone were wanting this exact style the pricing starts at $550. Shipping/paypal fees not included. Right now there is a 3 week lead time with my mold guy so consider that prior to ordering. Once i can get some funds built up i will be reinvesting into the aero, and rear over designs i have been scheming up. Just right now i have neither the time nor funding to even start.. Lol
But for now here are some photos. Take into consideration my balljoints are extended, i have daigo spacers on, and bigger front tires.

What I meant was, "I want those coils back on the track, being used. I'm sick of waiting for my car to be painted. It's been like a day."

Probably the coolest thing of 2013 so far is my goal last year was to start my business, and purchase the car i sacrificed to drive in 2010. I sold this car to a buddy of mine for what is now the red FC. I finally got the VR4 back after a ton of sacrifices, and flipping 30 cars over the past year....


I'm planning to repaint it, get it fresh again, and street it with bronze TE's or some meisters.

well i didn't want to clutter buckey's thread... but i'm just concerned about the entire fuel setup being mounted to his rear bash bars.... one good hit to anywhere on the back end could create a major fire hazard...

lol.... there's a difference when it's someone's car that they've dumped all their money and time into... and a sponsor's car that can afford to rebuild it.

but i do see what u did there... and yeah... it can make for some amazing moments.
