He did such a nice job. I love how it tucks right up into the grooves of the underbody. no more fuckin scrapping everywhere on the road...

On a more sad note: The car wasn't finished in time for the damn drift event this weekend. Which sucked ass.... but whatever. The event was sick either way. I got to drive my brothers car and someone elses, so i got some seat time.

The problem with the car is low compression in the front housing. I'm at like 60, the rear is fine though. We think possibly due to massive carbon build up, cause my plugs were disgusting and they are relatively new. I had to baby the car for like 90 miles over 2 weeks, while not having a tune and running rich as fuck.... So we let that "de-carbonizing" solution sit in it for 48 hours. Were gunna check it all out tomorrow and hopefully proceed with the tune. And then it'll be done.

What is the OD?

If 3", why didn't you just go with an HKS Hi-Power + midpipe? If >3" then I understand why custom :mdrmed:

Reading this and looking again at the cage I would ditch that cage and get a safe one built. What rules are the event that you're going to attend following? Take that rulebook and start from there!

mike[piston eater] 05-28-2010 10:12 AM

ehhh thats if he decides o get real competitive, as long as its chromoly dom tubing with floor plates its good enough

Nice however this is the last year nascar is using the wings then they are going with a much smaller setup because the wings actually cause the cars to flip over when spun around backwards. Lol basically the wings are not needed. a lip spoiler is all that is going to be used.

Well here you go guys. Its finally done. I still have to lower the front a bit, wash it, and take some day time pictures. I fuckin love it though. It's making about 250hp at 8psi.

imput1234 06-05-2010 12:51 PM

looks good! I think if you move the risers, so its wider it'll be even cooler!

Brettus 06-05-2010 12:57 PM

will be interested in how it performs as a drift car .
Mad Mike seemed to have a lot of trouble dialling his suspension in to work for drifting ....

mike[piston eater] 06-05-2010 06:08 PM
