Okay Update time..

Start it off with some good beer.. I pick Batch19... Really good beer even though it is made by Coors.

So I realized I forgot to update you guys on doing my door panels and CF hood.. So here it is.. At first I thought I could keep most of the CF panel and just cut out holes where the door bars were going to go.

After making the needed cuts on the other door panel and seeing how chopped up it looked just to fit the panels I decided just to cut them in half..

I know I know, just cut up a shit ton of money.. Not that much but I know what you are feeling right now.. lol

After...



Love me some CF..



Overall I think they came out pretty good. However I think I will change them later to a flat CF panel and just add the door handle to it. but for now this will do.



A view so you can see both sides



Next was mounting the hood and installing the hood pins



Went with Quik-Latch minis. I love Quik-latch products and tend to use them on the bumpers and rear hatch.



Installed the pins, and put grease on it to mark were to drill for the holes. The hole next to this pin was my old pin setup..



Holes cut



Mounted



Love how small and flush they sit



After installing the pins I had to set them so their was no gaps in the front bumper..



also mocked up my new side skirts.. Love how they look...

So this is where I took my car to Russell to fab up my exhaust and intake



Took my lil brother with me..



As well as my son.. have to teach him all about this stuff..




So after a couple of weeks I went to ATX to pick her up and always get stuck in traffic here.. **** it so much..



First time she got to sleep in her new garage after the floor was done..



First we have my intake.. Nothing special just your norm intake.. Wanted it to run down to the front wheel well but there was not a good way to route it. So this will do.



Can't remember the size of the pipe but this thing is huge has to be 4"



was going to paint the intake black or do black chrome but I love how it looks as is. the contrast works so well.



Next we have this bad boy..Russell went with a .065 304 stainless for the pipping



Running a 3.0 dual to a 3.5 oval single to give me more ground clearance.



No mufflers here.. Loud and in your face..



Here is were it changes into a single oval...



Close up.. I love Russell work so much..



Then they connect to my collectors which are actually 3.5"



Later I will probably change this out when I want more power (turbo) and make it a 3.5" to a single 4" oval.. But thats much later..







For now I am really happy with the work and can't wait to here this thing start up..



Need to add a pic with the bumper on and a full on ass shot..

Next on the list is a couple of little things here and there. (which I will update as I do them). Then its off to Dallas to Stews house to finish up the wiring and do first startUp.

It is getting really close to finishing and I just can't wait.

I will post price later this week for all that wants to know how much this cost.

Also I am going to be selling these 19 DPE wheels, so if you are interested in them hit me up..

That oval exhaust is way awesome.

It's probably buried deep within this thread somewhere but what series do you plan on running this car in?

I currently do some media with the Lone Star Drift series and I'd love to see this car in person when it's done.

Thanks man,,, I was going to do a traditional tan or grey but ended up going black.. So happy about how it looked.. Was thinking about putting another layer of clear in about 3 months.. Whats you thoughts on that.. I just feel it needs another layer..

first off, damn the car is looking good!

and as for the garage floor the layer of clear that is already down should last a good 4-6 months before getting bad. if you want extra clear then its fine too, it wont make much of a difference except for a longer lifetime.

also when you clean it out make sure to dry it very well, those floors can be super slippery if they dont have clear grip/silicon pellets(sand consistency)

but ya it looks great!

Yeah I don't think I posted it on here but my plan is to drive everywhere and just have fun with the car. With that being said yes that means our Lone Star Drift series. I do plan to do a couple of shake down runs at MW like a test and tune so might hit you up to film that.. Got any links to your work...

Also I will be out their this weekend too..

okay yeah I think I will put another layer in about 3-4 months Its not hard to lay down a clear coat so that is no prb. And yeah def trying to keep this thing dry..

Have you heard anything about hot tires pealing the floor.. Some people told me about that.. whats your thought on that?

i just drove the fc today, I cant wait till you feel what I felt. The sense of accomplishment is just overwhelming bro.

WHAT you drove the FC!?!?1 Bro tell me you have vid of that.. lol

And I can wait to feel what you are feeling with completing the FC, soon my friend soon. Oh by the way did you still want to do the floor mates we talked about?
