Getting down to business... From racecar look to racecar spec
**Updated 6/11/10**
****Updated 6/19/10****
I just dropped my car off at a shop called Fluid Motor Union about a week and a half ago to get a bunch of stuff done, and thought I'd make a little build thread... Fluid does some pretty sick work on higher end cars, and the owners have a soft spot for drift cars, and have been wanting to help out in any way they can. You can check out some of their work here

And the car here:
Went to check on the car and drop off some crap... New injectors are in, fuel pump is in, they fixed my broken wheel stud and some misc ****, and started on the new ducted intake.
Time for new charge piping, exhaust, intake manifold, sideskirts, cage, gauges and other fun things.
Start of the intake manifold:
New downpipe, 3.5in all the way going to 3.5 duals:
They said the piping for the cage should be in next week, so hopefully I'll have an update on that soon... 21 days until the car needs to be done for all star bash
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update!
Intake manifold is pretty much done
Intake and hotside chargepiping are all pretty much done, and the intercooler has been moved forward and angled a bit
Exhaust is pretty much done
Pile of crap from the interior and a few random things... Piping for the cage is taking forever to come in, but he said that'll be done by the end of next week.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update
Snapped a few progress photos of the car today...
Front mount re-mounted with new charge piping. The intake is pretty much done, and you can barely see the ps cooler hiding in the grill.
New and improved look in the engine bay, just tying up a few loose ends.
Gangster new intake.
New coldside setup.
Exhaust is nearing completion.
The cage has finally begun.
And last but not least, big thanks to Zach (UZZ-TT) for these.
The car needs to be done in a week for Midwest ASB, it's gonna be close.

Why duals and not a single exhaust? Single would save weight to stay with in the bounderies of race spec
