Picked up a OG Carbon fiber Exospeed 3 pc front end (new when I bought it)

Brought the car to NRG-TECH for a 10 point roll cage/chute setup

 

A couple pictures of the art work NRG-TECH did on the roll cage. They did an AWESOME job and I highly suggest have them do yours!

 

Getting the car tuned at Quantum Race Works in Albany, NY. Car made 837 at 42psi on Pump E85

 

Took the car to the track for its first time ever on low boost

 

Took the car back to the track for test and tune. Turned the boost up some

 

Just some random pictures of the car

 

Took the car out to the track again and picked up a new personal best

 

As of now this is where I am with my project. Doing a wire tuck and repainting the engine bay OEM Frost white while I wait for my new Ramey built short block to arrive on Tuesday 2/7/2017

 

More progress of the engine bay

 

Love this build! so badass! Always loved your DA too, always build proper cars. keep up the good work bro

 

Do you have a rear cutoff switch on the back?

 

good looking car and nice setup

 

@streetlethal, thanks man. The whole car will be getting re-painted with body work in the future.

@drmix, no cutoff, my battery is in stock location under the hood.

@hasport, thank you for the kind words. Hoping to dip into the mid 9s

 

If I remember correctly you required to have one if you are under 9.99. You can never be too safe

 

Hmmm..? I never was told by my local track that a cut off was needed and they are very strict.

From the 2017 NHRA rule book-

All batteries must be securely mounted; must be of sufficient capacity to start vehicle at any time. Batteries may not be relocated into the driver or passenger compartments. Rear firewall of .024-inch steel or .032-inch aluminum (including package tray) required when battery is relocated in trunk. In lieu of rear firewall, battery may be located in a sealed .024-inch steel, .032-inch aluminum, or NHRA-accepted poly box. If sealed box is used in lieu of rear firewall, box may not be used to secure battery and must be vented outside of body. Relocated battery(s) must be fastened to frame or frame structure with a minimum of two 3/8-inch-diameter bolts. OEM located batteries without complete OEM hold-down hardware must be secured to OEM battery box/tray using the same 3/8-inch-diameter bolt hold-down method described in previous sentence. (“J” hooks prohibited or must have open end welded shut.) Metal battery hold-down straps mandatory. Strapping tape prohibited. A maximum of two automobile batteries, or 150 pounds combined maximum weight

 

Take a look at the E.T. quick reference sheet.

Also look at Master cutoff in the electrical section of the rulebook. Im on my phone so it takes forever to jump back and forth but its in there

 

I'll look into this. Thanks for the heads up

 

My new Ramey Race Engine showed up today-

 

Nice build, how long has it taken from picking up the car to this point?

Was the the new engine just to push it further, or did you have a failure on the old one?

 

I started the project in January of 2016.

No failure, just wanted something new and stronger. Longevity is the goal

 

Finally laid some paint down today. Here is the final outcome-

Paint is frost white. Pictures don't do my engine bay any justice by any means. Looks 10x better in person



It looks red because of poor lighting and the red cover I had over the car. Pictures do not do my bay justice at all


Frost white

Very nice. Im in the process of a similar build right now. I was wondering if its NHRA rule to keep the heater core and blower in the car. Was trying to go completely gutted but want to be sure before I slap the dash back on. Any advice as to keeping it track legal would be greatly appreciated. I think I've read that you need all the plastics from the front seat forward. Just started following you on insta.. TIA

 

I still have my blower motor in the car. Heat works also. Never was given any issues or heard anything about it

 

this is beautiful man good job and good luck for this upcoming season
