Dropped the FC off to get my Sprint RE wired up. Time to cross the fingers and hope the motor is good when it starts.

i know most of you guys arent road coarse racers so you're probably gona hate the wing, but it is 100% for function and will only go on for shows and when i go to the track

mocked the rear end aero today
the diffuser will go on permanently when i'm done with the exhaust
also the side winglets of the diffuser arent on either

I'm having custom risers water jetted out to have the wing at roof height so it can catch clean air
so dont pay much attention to the boxes, its just so i could get an estimation of height and get an idea of what i would look like

you're damn right i'm an attention *****

by being an attention ***** i've saved right around $16k from sponsorships

the only reason why i get sponsorships is because my car is everywhere and seen by everyone

i dont think anyone of us would say no to someone willing to give us badass free new parts, if all we had to do was post pictures of the build every where we can

psh...i have my build thread on 2 other forums as well

its purely for function man

if you've ever done turn 1 and turn 10 on homestead speedway...you'll know exactly why i have that wing loll

the FD likes to get tail light in high speed corners...thats why my front bumper has the splitter and canards, and i got as much aero as i could to keep that rear end down

But maybe it's cause I'm an Old Man.....

Thats the only place to post a build thread homie!!

cars not done yet...i've already locked several media sources for articles once the car is complete

also just got another great sponsorship from Central Florida Turbo today, they will be handling the tune for the car

finally got the design for my wheels done

18x10 front, 18x11.5 rear

3.5" front lip/4" rear lip

i could have gone with a 5" rear lip...but i personally like having the lips look some-what similar all the way around

here are the renderings
The only difference is that mine will be with Steplips, these are rendered into straight lips

wheels should be completed in about 2 weeks

You guys and your fancy fabricators, if a pulley breaks you're going to be wishing you had gone with the APC racing advance auto parts pulleys because they don't close till 9pm and even open on Sundays!
