Ill prob see you around at trackdays(i run thunderhill pretty often).
with the f&f coilovers, i got them for dirt cheap. it was just a deal that i couldnt pass up. i have read zero bad reviews on them, but most of the reviews i read on them were just douche bag kids that only cared about how low they could get. no one is really using these for the same application as me. i got them so cheap that i dont care if they blow out after one track day.

fastbrakes gave me some radial mounts for it. they will clear a 15 inch volk ce28 but i have to send back the rotors because they sent me the wrong ones.

Awesome start.. keep it up.

I would stick with making the whole car one color. champ white. Im not a fan of the mismatched bays though.
Your wheel wells look great.. is that rubberized undercoating or just regular black paint?

Subscribed.. Check out my build, its just my daily but I got a couple pics of my other project.

yea, thats what i am doing. all champ white with all the trim pieces flat black. keeping it simple as far as the exterior goes. for the wheel wells, i used some ruberized undercoat, then i went over it again with some high heat enamel.

no more than 300HP and no less than 250HP. i tried to find someone that had a similar setup as me to see what the projected HP numbers are going to be, but i couldnt find anyone using a jackson racing supercharger on a b16b.

UPDATE!!!

cleaned up the engine

got the seat and steering wheel in


had to fab up some brackets because the guy that had the car before me thought it was a good idea to take the stock ones out. i fitted up and designed the brackets and i had my buddy weld them in because i suck badly at welding.


its becoming a real car almost!


merry xmas to me! new tool box
