Hey guys, just got a few things to share...First off Im finally getting around to uploading my dyno results from a few months ago. Bone stock baseline - it will be interesting to see what the intake and exhaust I have planned will do for the A3 before I swap!



.

.

And here is a little taste of what Ive been working on at work this past week. I did my first pipe bending and welding on a customers car. I made these door bars to replicate the bars on the driver side to replace the X brace that used to be here. Took some time but came out perfect!









.

.

And also the custom dash I did in the same car. Race Technology data logger installed as well as the fire system...

nice buds! I wish I had a job doing that, then this hospital bs LMFAO!

Haha yeah its a pretty good job. Im in Daytona now doing some Grand Am racing. Our race was today, but me and Mike are staying for a bit tomorrow to watch the beginning of the 24 before we catch a flight home.

Updates looking good! Haven't been here in a while...

What kind of OZ's are these? I really like them.

SHG_EasyE

They were OZ Racing Starlights. Pretty rare since they were specialty wheels made to order over in the UK. Not too many sets around.

Miss you bro car looks awesome!!

SHG_EasyE

Thanks dude, whats new with you?


Got some work in on the airbox today.... I sprayed it with primer to see what low spots and imperfections that still needed attention then spread on some glazing putty to fill them in.

Heres what it looked like after sanding the primer (dark grey) and putty (dark red)





.

.

Then another coat of primer before attaching the flange and spreading the base contour from the box to the flange. I let it set overnight so I can start sanding tomorrow.







.

.

And I also got these today - 05-06 Type S rear strut braces. The ITR came with these connected by a bolt on bar, but Im going to use them for my own custom welded strut bar. Stay tuned!

i have two of those strut braces sitting in my garage haha you keep gettin stuff thats sitting in my garage lol

SHG_EasyE

Thanks dude! Youre right about the airbox. what you see there is the plug to make the fiberglass mold with. Then ill use that to make the final product in carbon. Theres still ALOT of work to do, although the top is close to being done, I havent even started on the bottom half yet.

Sell em to me?

SHG_James

what's your exhaust plans?

SHG_EasyE

Until I put the A2 in it will be an OEM TypeS manifold and cat with a Buddy Club Spec 3, then when the A2 goes in eventually Ill add a Buddy Club header.

I disagree, bud. I've had a BC on my K24A2. I gained a little bit of whp, but mostly gained a sizable amount of low and mid-range torque when I put my SSR 4-2-1 on.

skipunk4

That box is looking awesome man, seriously sick work

SHG_Mike

But for what cost? I dont say that the bc is the best because it is the end all be all of performance. It is a very quality piece for cheap money, with good gains. Everything that Ive seen or has been on my car from buddy club has been TOP notch, so to me even if its not the ULTIMATE, I prefer to support them.

Ahh, I see. I didn't read it as a cost analysis evaluation. For the money, the BC manifold was good value. I truly have nothing against BC at all. I like a ton of their products. It's just that I prefer to go higher end on some aspects of my car's build. Cost is less important in some areas, for me.

SHG_James

Buddy Club race header goes for $750.
SSR goes for $225 more. IMO, I would save a bit of next paycheck to get the SSR.
