Whose LS1 FD race car is this on ebay? in FL
 

It kinda has the Big Al and rob20rx7 livery.

Just curious...

I didn't think we were that predictable, it belongs to a buddy of ours, Richy. he started building it when Rob started but has a second baby on the way and just can't finish the project. It is a smokin deal for someone wanting to get into racing or even return it to a street car. If anybody has any questions, I'd be glad to answer them as best as I can.

BigAl...

hmmmm
 

Damn, glad I saw this here....don't know how I missed it on ebay though...

Mine now :) Pretty sure I'm going to finish her up and make a track beast out of her.

Damn, totally would have tried to snag this if I had the cash right now, damn you stock market! Keep us posted on your progress on the build!

i know this car personally as you may know by now. and you have totally made a steal buy. good luck with your build. this car needs to be finished and will be a monster.

RoB

wow! that looks like a great start to what could be/is already an awesome car. congrats on the good deal. good luck.

Yeah, I got a steal on the car. I saw the car originally in this thread. It was just too good of a deal to pass up with all the new parts and the very nice cage. I will be deployed until June, but look for some pictures and track video's shortly after that :D

I agree and congrats :icon_tup:

Can't wait to take a ride in that baby :D

If ship-n-out is still selling his racecar that's possibly an even better deal. I was very tempted by his car but owning a racecar is a whole different animal which I quickly learned when I bought Brad Barbers car.

Fritz, Care to share that experience? I was thinking of heading down that path.

The preface should read non streetable Single Turbo 13B FD Race car blah blah ;)

For example if you have leaks that only show up under load or heavy cornering there's no way to test or if you have a tuning issue, boost issue, etc...etc... it's difficult to iron out problems outside of the track enviroment.

The only real problem I had was not being able to test so if your car is ok for street use then I'd say go for but wear a harness at all times because even a small fender bender could serious dent your head.

gotcha. thanks for the perspective.

but... don't let that completely fool you... Fritz talks very highly of that car.

got the car home a few days ago. I think the cage is my favorite part of the car. Here are some more pictures:

what engine mounts are you using to have the motor so far back? Did you cut the firewall?

Sorry, just saw this. I have no idea but I assume it's all hinson stuff. I haven't even seen the car in person yet and don't really have any prior LS1 FD experience.

It looks like I'm going to have the car dropped off with Dan Chadwick(Chadwick on the forum) to finish while I'm still deployed so it'll be ready to hit the track by the time I get home :D He is one of the few people I trust to work on my cars. He may throw up some updates as time permits... he might not. I just can't wait to get this thing on the track :D It's all in the hands of the talented "Mr. Sparkles" now... haha.

i hope he posts some updates. sounds like the car has serious potential.

I will be doing a build thread on it as I get time. We should be starting on it pretty soon. There is no question this car will be a beast when it hits the track :).

And my new wheels arrived today :D

Did you mean to order 13x6 4 lug?











:D

haha... My heart just skipped a beat Dan!
