Live action from Gainsville feeling out the newly acquired wisefab.
Here's everything that happened since the last post.
After the Event at gainsville I basically left the car alone and got it prepared for Orlando speed worlds aftermath event which was hosted the day after formula drift. There wasn't much still photogography which means I don't have any pictures to show I however do have a super duper shitty video of a go pro video.
(Insert stupid video)
I don't have a computer so I can't really upload any footage besides cell phone stuff

The osw event was fun but I packed it up kinda early because the track had so much grip from formula drift that I couldn't pull fourth gear on the bank meaning I was literally on limiter in third the whole time. Then one run I forgot to turn my fans on and temps got up to around 240-250. After that I packed it up and got ready to head home.
A couple weeks after the event I was invited to a private track day by The Grand Drift Championship at The F.I.R.M. Me Alex schlagel and some other person I've never slid with before where basically going to do a video shoot to promote this awesome track for drifting.
Well. IT FUCKING POURED RAIN 99% of the time. Like flooded track water over the windshield when hitting puddles.
I got maybe 5 dry laps in before the rain hit but Dave Bell captured some cool pictures.
This track is seriously the most fun ever. Aerial shots look extremely boring but once you actually get on the track and drive it it is incredible.
Unfortunately I realized my cooling system was not quite up to par for doing multiple laps at such high speed.
November second they are hosting their first drift event at the F.I.R.M. I would highly suggest going if you live around the north Florida region.
Right after that event I decided this is the perfect time to take a break from driving to do a little more arts and crafts. I needed to build a fire wall and weld in some anti intrusion bars. Figured this would be the perfect time to re paint while I'm at it. Oh and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna re wire my car with racepak smart wire system.
Spent about 4-5 hours by myself to fully strip the car down to bare interior.
Remember that cooling issue I was having?
Well that will no longer be an issue.
Stage 2 Switzer gtr radiator and bleed tank coming in all clutch
We had a Switzer gtr that crashed come in for paint. Being as the radiator core was bent (but not leaking) it was deemed to be trash which is how I scooped it up for free.
It's a dual pass radiator, it's taller and it has the bleed tank remote from the radiator. It's exactly what I needed.
Fire wall stuffs
This is still in C.A.D. (Cardboard aided design) when I convert it to metal it will be smoother.
But pretty much Ima weld all that stuff around the exterior of the cage then fill in the interior part of the cage with separate panels completely blocking me from the back half of the car.
And since you guys never get to see my paint work
Super basic color but pretty non the less.
Did the front bumper and hood
I also got a tig welder. I have absolutely zero experience with tig welding. In fact I've never even seen one in real life. But I watched a bunch of videos on YouTube and here is day 2 on the machine
I'm sure it's not perfect but hey it's a start
