Dropped the car off at Alexander Fabrication for a US drift 6 point cage two weeks ago and should be getting it back any time.
His mounts are gnarley.
While I was waiting, I pulled my engine apart from mock up stage and get it ready for final installation. Dropped my Timing cover/ Valve covers off for powder coating in a true Black Wrinkle finish. The stuff that came on the Holley racing valve covers looked like flat black primer. I also decided to sand my fast 102 down smooth and repaint it Metallic silver with tons of clear. The matte gray plastic texture look made a really expensive manifold look cheap.
Assembled, I would say this setup pictured is capable of 500 Crank hp.
Okay people, Installed the new parts with the exception of the Camber plates (They are still in testing)
Its just a mock up for right now to get an idea of where I may rub. I moved the steering rack forward 1" to help get additional angle.
Then I mounted the wheels, CCW lm20 18x10 +25 With 1" spacer.
Hoping to get tires mounted up in a few weeks and ill roll this thing out for some shots. Still a loooong way from finished, but at least I get to play with the fitment very very soon! And that is what we're all here for right?
Purchased the ASD 16" pass through style Hydro handle with 3/4 Res. Very nice piece.
Soon after a mounting bracket was made and the hole in the rear bulk head was patched.
Final stripping and paint prep was done.
I placed an order for some Corbeau seat mounting brackets with upgraded double locking sliders for each seat. Did the final mock up and it went smooth. I haven't sat in the driver seat of this thing in over a year, Feels damn good. Had to make a rum n' coke to celebrate.
