Lol, she's a dirty bitch alright.

Currently taking care of some started and unfinished projects. Dan and I just finished welding in the custom front shock towers on Dan's cage. Now he has the option to go to 6.5 and 8.5 degrees of caster instead of the stock 4.5 degrees. Will be finishing it this weekend once I get tubing for Dan's car, my FD and a E36 BMW six point.

 

wow, F my life for that photo.. lol

 

Muhahahahahahaha.........hmmm

 

See you this weekend at FORGED!

 

this weekend is going to be Good!!!

 

Actually. adam, did you tell jesse?

 

hey adam it's no rx7 but I came across this today, really cool http://speedhunters.com/archive/2009...500-supra.aspx

 

^Nice

As of 7:30 today the car lives again!

Working on the cage for the rest of the week now.

So tired......

 

Yay Adam!!! Congrats !!!

 

Glad to hear that Adam! What events are you shooting for this next year?

 

Right now I'm realistically looking at attending 3/4 of the 7 west coast Redline Time Attack events. If I can muster up some sponsorship maybe all of the west coast events.

Will also do some local track days that are on weekends as well. Maybe a Chumpcar event here and there.


I have four points bend up and tacked in place, currently working on the rear shock tower plates and the door bars. Within the next two weeks I hope to be done with the cage and stitch welding the chassis.

 

Omg!!!

 

OMG!? Oh, Hey wait, where's the other one? And what's this one for? is it someone elses?
What happen to the grey (don't flame me for calling it grey, I know its tungsten silver or whatever) it was beautiful... Any pics/vids/articles? Is it running againg? Any luck on the diffuser?

Cage looks pretty sweet. Althought that factory dash bar looks like it was salvaged from the deep blue.

Looking good... I might see you out at some of the events your participating in. Good luck!

 

Still have the Tungsten car, it's just sitting in my garage waiting for me the have the funds to buy a new Odyssey battery and do a few things to it. Will be putting an AEM EMS unit into it towards the end of the month assuming the motor is broken in.

This chassis I'm working on will be my race car, and it will be tungsten metallic silver as well to make it more confusing. Doing the build on a tight budget. Would love to paint it Roso Corsa, but I don't have the extra funds for it. The dash bar is off the front clip that was put on the chassis, it was sitting out in the elements for sometime. Will be sand blasting it and painting it black once I'm done modifying it to fit the rest of the cage.

Due to the RTA rules change where the required minimum ride height is 3.5" I won't be making a rear diffuser. The ride height negates the usability of a diffuser. Still doing the front splitter though.

I would be cool to see at a few track days.

 

Making progress on the cage. Tired...

 

Damn nice adam, damn nice!

 

Any reason you chose the AEM over say a Motec or Wolf?

And you should definitely go to Maranello and steal some of that beautiful Rosso Corsa! I want to paint my race bike Rosso Scuderia.

 

Reasonable price, made in the USA (California), great tech support, features, usability, expandability, multiple knock safety features and all the bugs of the early units have been fixed. Personally I believe the AEM series one and eventually series 2 will be the logical replacement to the aging PFC once people realize the installing and tuning of an AEM unit isn't that hard to do. Will be working with some forum members and a location shop Forged Performance on creating an easy to follow installation and eventually tuning notes later this year.

 

So while doing the engine tear down I found where my omp oil leak was coming from. Good thing I was premixing, even though I poped the motor anyway.



Here's the fix, custom steel braid lines and fittings.

 

Making progress, made a support plate for the seat, used some cool specialty bolts so my back doesn't feel anything. Also finish welding up the back end, just need to add gussets. Then the door bars and under chassis cross bracing.

Also accepted another cage jobs on a Subaru race car, it should pay well enough to buy a set of Penske's or Tein SRC's and few goodies.

 

Looks great Adam! Your quality of work is outstanding!

 

wow...

 

Thanks guys for the props.

Just got back from LA, did a AEM Series 2 EMS debrief and initial tuning setup seminar. This will be the EMS to have once it becomes available, I'm pushing to get an early unit late summer. Lots of really cool and usable features.

 

Any idea when those will be available?

 

I wasn't given a firm date, but was told we're on the list, way down on the list. AEM will be releasing PnP series 2 units based on number of sales per type of car, highest to lowest. Supra, four banger Honda, Evo 4G63, STI 2.5, Nissan VQ series, etc. Each having their own project delays due to quirks in interfacing with the car electronics which will push out all the following in line projects. This is usual for every company.
