Looks awesome running around the track!

thanks man!

Sick dude. This thing turned out awesome and I'm sure it's a blast. I like the "laguna pipe" as well. I have seen some crazy creations on 911s to turn the sound away. Keep up the good thread!

yeah it really is a blast, I needed to mock up something at the track so i just screwed a 90 intake elbow to the exhaust

This car turned out awesome. Good job. Too many things I like about it. I really like that duck bill. Do you still have a crown royal shift boot? This car deserves a good shift boot.

I like the duckbill as well but that might be changing soon. yes i have a crown royal shift boot, its been on there forever, it will prob get removed when i get my AKG shifter

Did i miss the burnout video? :p

hahaha no, i havent done one yet.

That just looks so damn good.

thanks man!

Beautiful car man, thank you so much for pointing me to this thread. I read the entire thing. The inspirational and creative juices are flowing!!! Now I just need a car I want to actually build lol.

Wow I havent been on here in almost 4 months, been super busy with work!! Here are a couple updates!

New Rubber and Wheels. 17x9.75" with 255/40R17. Sold my other sets.


First Test fit, see where I need to make room for Steering to full lock.


With the fenders and bumper on, Need to raise the car a tiny bit.



Camber Plates, but replacing springs and shocks, welding on a perch and adjustment sleeve soon.

Koni Adjustables


Rear Shot


How she is sitting now waiting for me to start working on the suspension


Also body mods coming too!

Glad to see an update. This car has come a long way.

awesome car, glad you went with koni. I run koni ground control, and once you dial them in they are awesome for money. Make sure you have enough travel, i am sure with the 17's you have more travel but doesn't hurt to check the compression. also maybe think about going full flat under body. It does wonders, creates down force with minimal drag.

This dudes diffuser is set at 7-8 degrees

I do plan on doing more aero soon.

Done building my coilovers.
Flares on.
Strut bar on.





ride height

full compression



with the rollers, need to align it.

still finding a correct ride height for the front.

i love how functional everything is and you aren't focused on looking sexy but working right!

[Jb325is]

Nice... How much did you shorten the housings?

[AwakenNoMore]

Knucklehead92, do you know where I can find this dude's build thread?

I'm running 255s square too - got any pictures of the sheet metal under the flare?


I've got rubbing at full lock even with rack stops. I'm debating taking a hammer to the firewall or 3D printing larger rack stops

Been watching your build for awhile now, this in one of the swapps i would consider doing. Thanks for the info.

My one question is, What does chopping the front fenders do for you. I am having a hard time seeing a aero advantage unless i am looking at it wrong.
