Mitch! Glad to see your still at it. Car is looking great, can't wait to see it in color :) your so close!!!! Almost at the 3% we all dream of


Awesome support.  Thanks guys.   

Ok....so today I received my coil over struts.  They are Nex products.  Awesome feature is that the The NEX Type kit has all the features of a racing coilover without the harsh ride. They are designed to allow the vehicle to be lowered without affecting shock stroke or spring preload. This is done by seperating the spring preload adjustment from the ride height adjustment.  The spindle Mounting bracket is threaded and adjustable.  The ride quality is not affected by ride height!  Adjustment range is from 1.5"-3.5".  They really look nice.  This should give me a good quality ride with the lowered suspension.

Are you still painting the car green?

Yes....the rims where on a yellow Lambo.  Im changing that over to green.  May peel off the outer lip color.  Not sure.

Search for:  Borla 20250 Rolled Resonated Exhaust Tip.   Thats the style I used.   There is also the Round angle back tips.  Same sound:   Borla 20248 Single Round Rolled Angel Cut Resonated Exhaust Tip

 

The resonator is from a viper.  Used part.  They are dual on the viper.  I just used one inline.   Dont know the part number.  I got it on eBay used.

My new rims are in and I am so excited.  They look amazing.   Savini's  3pc wheel.

Sounds pretty good especially for a 4 banger. Congrats. Also what diameter tips do you have there??  Last but not least, welcome back!!!
They are oval 3.5 x 4 x 12. 

Thanks.  I didn't think it sounded bad at all for a 4 cyl.  Was scared I'd get that ricer sound.  But these are deep and loud when need to be.   The larger headers and short intake helped alot.  It revs up with quick response compared to stock.

It's looking and sounding good Mitch.

Just need a good roadster engine cover and you'll be in business. 

Keep the pictures and video's coming.

Hey everyone!   Been working on my car pretty steady for that last 2 weeks or so.  Got a lot done.   ::bounce

Ive got the body about 95% completed.  Body is final mounted to the frame.  Doors inner and outer are bonded and finished up.  I've been working the body imperfections and blocking in the doors and bumpers to correct all the gaps.  Got the windshield pillars to finish up on.....I separated the upper and lower part of the pillars to make the correct OEM look for the roadster.  Now I have to make all that work.   Plus...I finished up all the engine and electrical connections.  Fuel fill is now routed and functional along with the fuel door hinged.  Now I can put gas into it in the correct place without a long pipe and funnel to the tank.   Since the body is down and fitted...I finished up the Borla exhaust system too.  Its all clean and mounted up.  Got it running again today and made a vid of how It sounds.  I know its a 4cyl.  But I think it sounds pretty good.   Its all stainless Borla without the cats.  Resonating twin tips finish it up. 

I'll be posting pics soon when I fill prime.  Then one more block down after that.....and ready for paint and interior.  I can hardly wait.

Heres the video link
