Brianna GPs SpecE30 build for KishG

[kishg]

car has been on track finally!! took it to njmp thunderbolt last Thursday for a DE with PCA. Car ran fine except for a hard start and idle hunting condition. hard start was due to a faulty FPR which has been replaced and the idle hunt was due to a bad connection at the injector harness. both issues are now fixed. motor felt good (i was granny shifting to let it break in slowly) and the car handled well. overall was a good test. going to summit point in 2 weeks with pca for more testing.

thanks for that vid! cage is all finished and exhaust is on now.. it's somewhat quieter but not much!

No probs.

Hopefully we can get a vid of it running now :)

looks good, Kish. I have that same quick release on my wheel. Like it a lot.

And yeah, the Spec exhaust isn't exactly quiet . . . :-)

No exhaust, no cats... She is loud, runs well. Let the fine tuning begin.

Are you guys gonna stealth mode them with paint or vinyl?

we have the black/red theme on the car, the vinyl guy is suppose to be out this week so not sure what we will do.

Yeah, looks the same, though not sure if hockey tape has all of the same qualities though.

It's worked in my car for 2 years, no signs of wear. It's a wicked thing to wrap electrical in.

Ok, all majors are done, so now onto the little things we need to tie up before completion.

Today (and last night) was the hood pins. Kish went with these Aerocatch latches that are pretty trick. In hindsight, would have been better (more like easier) to go with the top mounts, but these flush mounts do look pretty hot.

Before cutting up his hood, i did a practice run on a spare hood we had here. The actual hood has the latches swapped around 180*.

I measured about 12 times, and cut once. On top of that, i started with small drill bits and worked my way up to the cut off wheel.

Test run






Here i am cutting up the red hood. I cut the holes a hair too small on purpose so i could open them up later on.




Finished product








I really like the look. Sorry, forgot to snap pics of the pins, but i'll tell you now, i used existing holes that are on the rad support. Pretty straight forward.

Thanks for looking.
