'88 FC3S-Full competition build(Cage, Slammed, BN, V8)

[livinzlyfe]

just spent about 5 hours reading this from the beginning, probably the only build thread I have actually ever read. should have gone to sleep 2 and a half hours ago. need to be up for work in 4 and a half hours. but so worth it. absolutely spectacular work. seriously. I can not wait to see this car "done." and I wish I wasn't on the opposite side of the country, cause I would love to take pictures of this thing. might even be worth flying out for a weekend to shoot it and see it in action.

but I have 1 question, what are you planning to do with the factory fuel filler hole? are you going to leave it open, orrrrr?

Less food more car :eyes:

I knew you'd have pics of food, why do I even look at this thread when I'm hungry.... Nice one on the car updates too Note to self, next time I'm in the states ask the dude where to eat....

I think your build threads leave me hungry more than anything

Haahha all of you are too much!

Tandem style pics

Lol i need to find someone to drive one of them haha

UPDATE FINALLY

The parts for the rear end of the car showed up...

Chromoly G-Force full spool..This will save about 8lbs of central rotating weight in the third member..Should make a little difference in responsiveness.

My 33 Spline matching 4340 chromoly stub axles were also in the box. This setup is rated for 1400hp so needless to say I shouldnt have any issues(knock on wood)

I ordered a 3.90 Motive Gear for the rear of the car, then I can have it all put together and throw it back in

So much Chinese food.

I really dont eat it that much, its just the only food i remember to take pics of

I'm making the assumption he lives with his parents, but they've got to be pretty understanding. Def more understanding than the neighbors. lol

If I were making builds like this out of my parents garage, that shit wouldn't fly at all.

My dad is behind these cars 100%, he's just as big in the build on this car as I am but a lot of my neighbors are into motorsports so its no biggie really.

I wonder how much your neighbors love you when you start the FC or the s13

Luckily neither run well enough to make me even want to start em
