Lol, alright, I hear you on that maybe next season The nice thing about your car is that you built it right from the ground up so you won't have to do much if you want to run more power

Working on the suspension, here is the angle with the spindles cut about an inch.



Worked on getting the front end together, I kinda want to run some zuse fasteners or something so I can take off the bumper faster, but those high beams are held in on the same bolts as the top of the bumper.




Went out to G&J and picked up all the fuel line fittings and such. Mr. Yen has some time laitly and is helping me with the build so we started on the fuel stuff. Ran the hard lines under the car.




We decided the best place to put the fuel pressure reg would be to kinda hide it pretty much under the intake mani. One word of advice if you ever work with Andy, keep him away from teflon tape!



Fuel pump and cell in the trunk. Not many other places to stick it.

Alex those lines for fuel look huge! i guess that car will be quite thirsty tho.

If you get some time September 19, were( ohiodrifting.com supported by Zerolift Auto) is running a huge drift event. we should have some good drivers coming out and were talking about a 4k purse.

would be nice to see this car there!

Sorry for the lack of updates. Without a working Tig, there wasnt much to work on. Now that I can get back to welding, things should be going a bit faster. Finished up the intercooler and mounted it.



Here is a pic from last week when Andy and I were playing with the suspension. At this point the body kit would be on the ground.

looks like the wheel fits fine to me.

If you have issues in the rear just get a set of the missle over fenders those were pretty cheap
