So this arrived today, I am pretty impressed as well as excited to have these.

They call me the PARTS COLLECTOR

















So apparently Photobucket wants to charge people $39.99 a month or $399.99 annually to allow the to post their images to third party site like these. Well now I wont be using their stuff. Now I use Imgur. Lets see how long it is until Imgur does the same thing. I have had Photobucket for ever, well not anymore.

I finally got a proper render of how I want the car to look. There is a theme to the build due to loosing a very special person in my life. My aunt, one of my mothers older sisters. She was a socond mother to me, always pushed me to be better and do better. So as my IG post states.


To my Family, Friends, and Sponsors I am happy to announce that this final render done by Heroprintsnz is the one that will be used for the 507 GARAGE Time Attack GS300 dedicated to honor my late aunt Sara Shorey who was a second mother to me, she was 52 when she passed. So whenever I can, I will run #52. - Cancer Awareness, Boost for a Cure Race Car. Shop helping me make this happen PatienceMetalFab.

Hell, Paddy Mcgrath (sp?) on Speedhunters runs bags on his GTI and he tracks it. Bags aren't what they used to be. Need stiffer rates, just add more pressure to the bags.

[ELLeon]

I'm also curious. I know people say bags CAN handle well ifyou go with a really nice kit but I just really can't wrap my head around them being near as responsive and rigid as a stiff metal spring. Please enlighten me lol because I'm becoming more and more interested in bags everyday as my old Toms' coils are taking a sh*t.

check answer above^

Wait... if it's a track car, why bags? I'm just curious about your choice over more reliable and sturdy coilovers

Example of what Air-Lifts shocks can do, they are a sponsor of this site as well. Check them out, they can do more than coils in my opinion because I can tweak the entire suspension system from my seat and get back to do another hot lap right away. These shocks/system can handle it.

Can't wait to see this moving under it's own power, sliding around a track!

Also, awesome house purchase! Looks like there's a lot of room for fun car things in that garage.

Its been a while since I posted something car related. I posted that I had finally purchased a home after months and months of searching, headache, putting offers in, getting close to buying one and then it falling apart and now finally buying a home that we are pretty happy with. Then came the projects right after purchasing the home. From turning a closet to a mudroom. Then after that fencing the backyard. Road trip to visit family in Dallas Tx.To getting a new pupp but not before my son fractured his tibia and fibula.



















So after almost a year of putting sponsors off from me buying their parts I finally am back throwing money at this thing again. The car is scheduled for November 2017 what I have been calling Phase Two of this build. Car was moved from our old townhome to its new home, and its now just waiting for November.
