    This build is all about form and function, a select choice of modifications, doing things with class, style, and a little bit of wit. I build this car for me. I would like to thank everyone involved and all those who have spent countless hours, blood, sweet, and the occasional cigar because of this car. We haven't broken too much yet.

    When I first got it. Threw the wheels from my old car on them.

    Painted and filled the holes in the grille


    Eurojet exhaust


    FK Highsport Coilovers

    Bought the exhaust used. Needed a lot of work.




    Bought some Vette wheels



    They also needed a lot of work.



    Put the coils on


    Traded for some MK6 Detroits while I was working on the Vette wheels.




    Picked a color


    Went on back to Gainseville for school, got a new grille, and went to All Florida G2G


    Then I was coming home and hit a giant drop off in a construction area, the exhaust hanger snapped, and all my hard work went to shit.


    Got the wheels on.


    Fixxfest 2011


    Finally got the car where I wanted it to sit.
    Got to work on the 40k service yesterday and raised the front to 16 threads so I could turn.


    Fail on ecs for only sending me 4 spark plugs in the VR6 service kit. :banghead:


    Did cabin and air filters.




    Also removed that flapped thing from the intake box and plugged the hole that grabs hot air off the engine.

    Decided to paint the rear emblem to color match the wheels too : I was tired of black.


    Money shot

                  Ditch the nurbgurgring and BECAUSE RACE CAR stickers, and I'd like it a lot more. Clean car though.

                      The BRC stickers are long gone, sorry I don't have a more recent shot, I'll get on it though. Ah and the Ring sticker is there for sentimental reasons, I actually bought it at the track and drove on it, so it's like a little reminder of a great experience.

                          Thanks a lot!
                          Currently waiting on my other 2 spark plugs to get in, then I'll swap those and do the oil.

                          Also, thinking about a europlate. hmmm
