Relays Radiator support bars chopped Intercooler end pipes chopped ready for new piping New lowered power steering bracket made and currently sent of with the alternator etc to get sand blastered. |

subscribed. good to see someone building a legit circuit car instead of the run-of-a-mill drift car....and your attention to detail is staggering. GL w/ the build, can't wait to see it finished.

considering how beautiful this car is and how much work has gone into it, its hard to believe that its gonna be a serious track car and could get some cuts and bruises

This is a beautiful build, everything is so clean! Keep up the good work, when it's done i'd like to know what kinda numbers your at( Hp, Torque and $$), See if it's worth is to do similar when I redo my S13.
Keep up the great work!

I was wonder what work you have actually done? Seems like most of it is sent out. Half the cost of your build is going be labor. What is the purpose of the build for a personal time attack car or street car. ? I am excited to see some numbers to compare how the vet will affect it. I am doing a twin scroll 30r .82 on a 2.2 so we will see how power shifts and comes on different.

this is the type of build you create when on a video game. "Hmm. . . . . do i want the best of everything? YA!!! I SURE DO!!!!" Very nice build, this is what everyone means when they say build it rite the first time.

But seriously at the present time there are not many workshops or ppl that know what to do with a VET since there are alot of custom part involved. Thanks mate Quote:

So abit more done.
Taark start with cleaning up the wiring In the process of moving the relay box, we decided to move the head light wirings, thermo fans etc to the front along the chasis rail and the rest will go back into the cabin. So no more exposed wire along the guard rail. New I/C elbow welded, powder coated brackets An fitting for power steering Lowered bracket for the power steering pump Earl heat shielding for the turbo lines New position for the -8 line into the surge tank since the surge tank come with -6 And as it seat |

I like the attention to detail with AN fittings, parts and of course the motor. One question I have it why you didn't go with a Fuel Safe or ATL fuel cell setup? It seems no expense was spared on the other items, just wondering why you didn't opt for a bladder type cell.
Car is looking good. I hope you also have a video once she is tuned. I bet the motor will sound glorious! |

Thanks mate...I'm just as poor as anyone of you.

Pm me with the questions and I see if i can answer you. Thanks mate Quote:
The car is not really a full on race car just yet, so we didn't see the need with a proper fuel cell since the one we got can do the job just as fine. |

Amazing (Like always). Can I when you think this build will be completed? Do you have a build schedule (for an event or something), or it's done when it's done?
Thanks for the update |
