Update 3/9/20


Welp after the dyno as I mentioned the rack had blown out from I think just old seals. Still in process of measuring my spare racks and trying to see if any wear internally before I slap another one together. However, that being said I also found a few areas that were literally cooking so I have spent time on fire proofing things.

Sikky motor mounts starting to bubble, even with my headers coated! I am not going to say anything bad about Sikky, but they should have mentioned this or made a note about it.



Added DEI floor and tunnel which is 10mm thick and some metal zip ties.



Also added to areas under neath that didn't have any already..primarily on header collectors.





Calipers are back from powder coat, absolutely love the color.
Got the left side on and installed with powerstop track day pads and new lines. Will finish the other side soon.







Also if you see above photo is where OC mobile alignment came out and hit my fender with my wheel, I was pissed but ending up in jail isn't worth it. Long story short the guy was not even gonna tell me he did it, not a professional and I most certainly do not recommend him to anyone hes absolute garbage. Good thing I have a badass friend who paints <3

My old cusco c pillar bar stripped the threads on the heim joints so I went with a solid one piece design from TechnoToyTuning. Long wait but worth it.





Once the car goes back to body shop I will be having the rear pulled slightly to fit these Mickey Thompson street ss 275/45. Yes I know its big...No I don't care if you think its gonna look bad, like a drag car or not be stanced out. After driving it home on the 245/40 I quickly realized I need meat....





Also wanted to squeeze as much out of the V3 blower as possible without over spinning the impeller. Went with a ZPE Griptec 3.12" pulley and a new belt which brought the window of tension dead center so I am happy with that. Laced it up with those new Dressupbolts M6 allen heads, added a K&N sock for any accidental moisture.





I am just gonna finish the rack this week and try to get the rest of the small things sorted like dying the other seat and finishing the interior. I know on the rear panels with cages people slide it through the panel but I have added things in those open spaces and wanted to be able to remove them if any issues or need be. So as much as it pains me to say I am going with LRB rear panels since they'll be easier to remove. I plan to modify them so they cover more of the rear wheel well by adding another piece that bolts to it and then powder coating them a flat black so they blend in.
