Thanks. I'm definitely going to follow your progress with these parts... will watch for it on your journal
UPDATE:
- car is back with Redline Motorsports in Tempe
- today we removed the stock rear spoiler, and will eventually be adding a Kognition rear wing in it's place... in the meantime, I will have the holes filed in and painted
- we also test fit the front wheels from Forgestar... as much as we are all po'd at Forgestar for crap customer service, the wheels look great ! offset is perfect and the matte black on brilliant silver works well... I may end up getting another set
- over next ~2 weeks plan to get the following done:
- set up steering column and new hub/wheel... will post more on this later
- get the car running again... we've pulled so much crap from the car (immobilizer, airbag computer, steering wheel position sensor, etc) that the computer has freaked out and put it in permanent limp mode <1K rpm... we are looking into workarounds but may have to restore some of the electronics connections... SHARIF, what are you doing on your build? putting in resistors to terminate lines?
- set up suspension for new wheels / tires... going to drop the car another inch or so... I will still run the stock 19s on the street, so needs to work with both
- may swap the Stillen CBE for straight pipes... more aggressive + creates room under the car to mount a rear diff cooler
- alternatively, we may leave the CBE for a while longer and locate the rear diff cooler on the rear deck inside the hatch... haven't decided yet
- either way, will be using the new scoops to cool the rear diff cooler
- we will NOT use the scoops for air to rear brakes... looking at a simpler solution there
- will be routing 2.5" or 3" hose from the 'fang' area on front bumper cover to the front brakes
- then back to fathead fabrication to add front window fairings and to setup the front splitter
- then off to paint... going with flat black everywhere except possibly a satin black finish on the roof... rationale is that luster on body panels should match... input welcomed on this point... perhaps it'd be better to just go flat black on the roof too ?
