Finishing a friend's build that didn't get the chance too. R.I.P BLACKLIST

[silvertc]

thanks guys. much appreciated.So i noticed the clutch pedal was slowly getting soft. I looked under the dash and noticed some wet fluid by the Clutch master cylinder boot. Yup, the fucking seal is going bad. It was a bitch to pull out. It currently is a Tick performance master cylinder which is $314+ for new one. I sent it to them because its under warranty. Hopefully i get it back soon with no issues.





Got my plates in the mail..


Ah looks much better.

[HooWybrow]

I love this car so much, you've done it nothing but justice, sir!

[TeckniX]

Sounds pretty healthy! Never knew you could 'repaint' the plates without getting pulled over every 2 seconds. haha
Sucks about the master cylinder, but warranty should get you a new one. The weather just needs to clear up so I can see this thing rolling around town.

[edirty6eddie]

this thing is amazing.

About the plates...it's not 100% legal but i figured we'll if anything i will be getting pulled over for sound violations and bunch of other crap haha...Around town? are you from Cincinnati area?

this thing is amazing.

Don't thank me, Thank my friend Colt Blacklist who built it..


If you look closely at the bumper. the foglight is missing on the passenger side. It happened when he hit a raccoon. He talked about it in his old build thread that he was planning on making brake ducts. For now temporarily i'm just going to make block offs and take the other foglight out.


Found me a piece of left over CF that we had laying around....Took some measurements and cut out two pieces..


Excuse my shitty pictures. Taken with my phone sorry...


Bolted the splitter back on. I need to order another radius rod for the front splitter supports.


I'd say the tires are a bit worn?


Finally got my new ones shipped in. Nitto NT05 street radial. We'll see how they are..


Rolled it out today to clean out garage. Waiting for parts to drive it again....

[TeckniX]

Yup living Cincinnati. Colt was a friend of mine but I hadn't kept in touch for a while.. A bit of a regret, so it's nice to see that you're keeping his memory alive, and for that I thank you.

[Thagodeus]

This build is awesome and for a great cause definitely. I'd do this for one of my close friends if i lost them, i can get behind this fully

Unreal monaro/GTO. This is a sad but inspiring story mate, showing true friendship. A beacon of respect for many, giving up your 400hp honda for a mates dream

Absolutely loving the black beauty, we have monaros over here but many dont hit the spot. This does! It reminds me of the monaro HRT 427 (which a mate had possession of for a while), just brutal N/A power, good engineering and a menacingly purposeful look/stance

keep up the excellent work

Damn no kidding. If you don't mind me asking, what's your name?

Thanks man. It's honestly been an inspiration to myself...I've gone through rough patches in life. I gotta keep remembering that some people aren't given the chance to do/finish things in life. So Colt's always in my head to keep pushing in life, I'd feel selfish not doing certain things...

I didn't mean to make it sound like i totally gave up my Honda for this project..Before He passed away a little bit over a year ago, Colt and I talked about a new V8 project at a car event. He was throwing out all kinds of idea that i could do...who would've ever known i would end up with his car...Thanks for the kind words mate! It truly means a lot to me..

So I took the tires to get mounted..but the place i took them too couldn't get the beads to seat...





If you want something done you've got to do it yourself...literally. So my brother and buddy helped me out with a Cheeteh tank and got it mounted.

[06RawRsx]

Haha, I was wondering where you would get those tires mounted. The only place I found that would do it was bob sumerel tire in Colerain.

[Arteeste]

Yeaa buddy ! Can't wait to hear this thing idle

Yeah man, not to **** on general tire companies like Tire discounter, Bob summeral etc, i just didn't trust them with these wheels. Colt was actually really good friends with Wheel Doctor, but i was having trouble get a hold of them. I usually mount my own tires bc i have access to a machine but these 18x11 were just a pain. long story short, i ended up finishing the job...

Yeaa buddy ! Can't wait to hear this thing idle

I thought i posted a video of it idling...anyways here another video of first idle...

Finally got my Tick Performance (Tilton) Master Cylinder back with new seal and rod. The car really really needed a wash. Then i took quick few snaps..

Let me start by saying this thing was a bitch to take out and a bitch to install back in. But i finally got it in..

[AndyMpire]

its definitely a car you can be proud of. its just beautiful, sounds incredible, its got balls for days. i love everything about it man. i could only hope that my friends would do something like this for me. nothing but love for you man.

I was apart of the Canibeat staff when that feature went up and love what Colt did and was sad to hear of his passing. Very glad to see that one of his friends will be continuing his already amazing build.
