Daily-able Racecar Build. Finally getting paint and other goodies! B)

Since I suck at updating my threads, I suppose I'll add a little bit today.

Got the car back on the road and have just been driving it since I have been working on the rallycross car lately getting that thing back in shape for next season and to dd it once I go back to school next week.

Got the m3 brakes and SS brake lines on. Brakes like crazy now. Just waiting on a valance and some other bits so I can complete the front. I am planning on an is lip in the future. Also I raised her up a tad since I don't have my skid plate on currently since I am getting another made currently.

your having a custom skid plate made? please post pics when you get to that.

Just realized I never updated this after I got my new wheels and such on.

Well, here it is the night I drove it again and not all the way down.




The M3 brakes.


Oh. And also picked up a new motor. I'll keep it a secret right now as to what exactly it is and what my plans are for it. ;)

Since I didnt do much work this weekend to the rallycross car, I took about an hour to start ripping the interior out of the car. Discovered a small amount of surface rust on the passenger side. No big deal. This is why I am doing this, to rust proof the car. I really want to get it on a lift so I can do some rust proofing underneath.


Also started to take the bolt in cage out. I am debating whether or not to keep it as I somewhat want a 6-pt weld in cage. For now, this one will probably be painted an interesting color to keep things alive.

After rallycross season starts I will be focusing on this car including dialing in the suspension, finishing up the interior, and tearing into the new engine. Also, some body work is in line alone with some fresh paint.

Picked up these for drift spares. They are 5x120.7. No idea where/what they are from.


I was also able to get the chance to drive a Tesla Model S as well. And all I have to say is WOW! Not necessarily a fan of all electric cars, but this thing had crazy amounts of torque. It just went. It was the one with the biggest battery too so it did 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, which is very strange in a car that makes no noise and doesnt shift. Feels like you are taking off in a jet.

Is that second pic an iPhone pic as well?

I love those wheels. And "love" may not be a strong enough word. Maybe "covet" is better

Yes sir. First one had a crappy instagram filter on it. haha.
Love that Iphone 5 picture quality.

I'm looking for another set of 16x9s. :) I miss them a lot.

Since I am in the mood to tear things apart, I decided to rip the interior out of the car. I'm gonna be fixing some of the rust spots and sealing the inside up since there were some open holes. This car is really more than I bargained for. I'm also going to be doing some soundproofing and adding some dynomat up front and along the transmission tunnels while I am there.


A little bit of rust on the passengers side. Not too bad.


Racecar status?



Also a couple of other spots I wanna seal up/ fix the rust on.



Debating on if I should just leave the carpet as is or dye it black toi give it a little bit of a cleaner look once its all back together.


Also.... who said I couldn't tuck in the rear? Hahaha.

Lol. Coming across old videos of your car.

[shEck3lls0]

Not much in term of updates.

Yes. Yell at me for not taking the wiring out and doing it correctly. But I painted the interior. Just wanted to stop all rust.

Did you just mask off the inside of the rear window?
