Little midway updates... I probably wont update until I paint it and start putting stuff back together.
My fabricator is moving facilities so I cannot get the rest done until then.
The car is resting in my storage unit until the facility gets moved so heres something new. For my steering I dont know if you can see it but I had an S13 Steering rack mated to the Stock SC steering shaft so it saved a ton of weight for those of you who have ever held it its really heavy. At least 50lbs.
Front shot... Im trying to source someone to create my polycarbonate windshields. Anyone have any suggestions?
The tubs arent complete they will be getting gussets [Basically like Ueno's Car] and a bracket that that will hold the Relocated Oil Filter. Front Bash bars are also on and are removable in case of impact and it needs to be replaced.
Basically like this... Imitation is the sincerest form... <3 lol
Taylor Gang!... Funny sticker he put on to tell the cars apart! Nothing to do with the color scheme I promise lol
Rear bash bars... As soon as I find the key or remove the trunk latch Ill take pics of it closer with the bumper off. Its tied into the frame rails and goes behind the quarter panels in case of impact so it holds shape still. I also need to get a little bar welded on so I can use it as a jacking poit because odds are the car will be slammed sometimes. I may daily the car or take it to meets sometimes too! lol
Next plans are a really neat thing I found because the brake booster and master cylinder doesnt fit. Carbon Fiber hood, doors, and trunk and some aero. Im going to try looking for sponsors so if you want to hook it up and do business I cannot be mad at you!

You get the drift lol Im basically going to be using nothing but legit parts to build the best race car I can. Like I said probably no more updates until I get it painted... Itll be colors that keep it in line with luxury. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the compliment. I have someone different working on my fabrication now. My dash didnt fit without hacking it up so I have to make my own dash unfortunately and I have to have some work done to the rear of the cage because it aparently isnt legal because of the way the rear bars dont go back to the strut towers or something. Once I get the details updated then ill update that as well. Im glad the firewall didnt get done first or I would have had to scrap it and start over lol

Thanks I want to have the car as low as possible and still have it be competitive. As soon as the fab work is done I need to start looking into getting some Arms and some other parts so I can have a dialed in suspension.
Looking at Ikeya Formula arms and links all the way around and maybe a TRD or modded Supra Sway Bar to make it adjustable as well. Ive always liked really low wide race cars lol
