Unfortunately, I don't have an actual ETA at the moment, but progress is definitely being made

Can't imagine it's much longer now. Just a couple hundred miles of tuning and you should see your baby soon!

Hitting the nail right on the head.

As of last night, I was told my engine was all buttoned up and it fired up with no problems. The remainder of this week should be filled with dyno pulls to optimize the out of box tuning via HKS FCon.

I love how clean the install is and how the covers look factory. I like what you did with the grills. How did you paint the calipers? Are they powder coated or sprayed?

I have a request for you as well, any chance you could update your original post so we can see the completed car or it's progress so far? Makes it easier than scrolling through all the pages looking for the latest pics.

I'm loving the install too. Up close, the dry carbon engine covers make you really appreciate how much detail went into designing this kit.

The front grill is a K-Break Zero Custom grille, just painted.

I actually didn't do either. My calipers are OE Brembo yellow that came with the Brembo GT big brake kit.

I'll see if I can do that later on.

Haven't actually had the time to visit the shop to hear what the car sounds like in person but I also know they're slammed at the moment getting car(s) prepped for the upcoming PIkes Peak run this month in CO.



This photo was sent me last week, so I know the car was removed off the lift, installation and wiring was completed (which was no easy task BTW), engine covers and everything else buttoned up and the car fired up to drive around. I was told there's quite a bit of tuning that needs to happen for this set up to drive optimally; so I'm looking forward to talking about that with the mad scientists.

Again, shout out to the guys over at Evasive Motorsports jumping all over this project to get it done for me.
