Looks good man....When are you expecting to have it all back together?

I know you got to be eager as hell to drive her

Just curious...how much road time does the car see when it's running, and also, how much power are you aiming for now?

This car is one of my favorites of all time on this forum. Thank you to your brother for providing pics and documenting the build. I feel like Tyrone Biggums constantly checking for updates.

From last when we talked he is aiming for 700+ hp.....

Dmity daily drives the SC in the summer......I have personally rode in his SC with him and likewise he has rode in mine....

Without a doubt his SC looks like it is brand new off the showroom floor.....but when he experienced the ride in my single turbo GTE......he had the biggest grin on his face..........and he knew from that point he had to get rid of the factory twins and slap a big single on

Cant wait to you get it finished up and your able to join the single club!!!!!

At this point the goal is a max of 1000hp, and a respectable 700-800 daily mid boost level. Last summer the car got a total of about 10k miles on it daily driving in the summer months from june-october

is there a way you could possibly post a list of part numbers for all of the hardware for the control arms and all that?

A few updates...

Got a bunch of new parts. New front subframe, all new OEM coil packs and brackets, new front and rear sway bar brackets. Getting both front and rear subframes, sway bar brackets powdercoated in pearl black, coil brackets in silver.

Should have them back in a few days if everything goes as planned.
