Car Looks great man, i've been so busy with stuff that I haven't had time to come around.

My sun roof exploded, got another one from Gazi.

I cut the grill in the bumper as well, not as you did. I have paint that up soon myself.

Are you guys doing anything this coming weekend?

Thanks, I hope the pics help. I tried to be as detailed as possible, but you tend to get carried away and forget to take pics.

When I got the kit, the piping that came with it had to be cut. I recently started getting them welded together, once I finish that, its off the chrome shop or polishing shop, whatever my wallet decides.

Haha Thanks! Suspension and body is what we're working on as we speaking. Lots of fender rolling and pulling is gonna be going on.

Thanks bro. We were wondering where you disappeared too! Sorry to hear about the sun roof. We're usually free most weekends either working on one car or all the cars. If we're not doing that, we're hitting up the surf to do some fishing for stripers/blues/fluke.

So I "Dyno'd" the car today. lol. I used that program on the iphone and made 3 runs and all came out with similar numbers. Going to have to get on a real dyno to see how close they are...

0-60 was 7.04 seconds (slow launch)

Max speed was 87.5 mph

Peak HP was 267 @ 5psi

1/8th time was 10.24

Quarter Mile time was 14.7

No clue if this is right or what, going to remount my iphone dock and try it again later. The car did have a bunch of crap in the trunk. Tools, fishing crap, etc etc. When I retry im gonna lighten it up a bit. The phone moving/shifting a bit may account for it being off, but by how much, I don't know.
