Thanks guys. The cars performing great. Exceeded expectations with that clutch setup. Just an ACT perf street setup in the transmission right now. Awesome seeing it hold the power on a single disc.





Still a few things to button up on the build. But can’t wait for the finished product.

Thanks man, was a bit of a surprise that we were able to achieve the 4 digits. On paper the build was capable but actually achieving it is a whole other thing lol. Surprisingly this is on the stock open diff, would have swapped the Torsen for a clutch lsd to be safe if it had come with one. We are still deciding which direction we want to go rearend wise. This isn’t really built as a drag car so not going to launch hard on the stock rearend. The car walks a bit under initial boost so will have address it but will do that for next year. Yeah I’ve read all the mixed feelings on the CD009s as well. But since a brand new one is like $1900 and I can just swap all the SerialNine CD-Pro parts over it seemed like the smart option. You have 1250whp drag 350’s using them at one extreme, so I’ll keep you posted on how the CD00A performs. Other option would have been the T56. I’m running what I thought would have been a way weaker clutch (surprised it held on the dyno as much as it did) so that should go first before the transmission.

Got to drive the car for this past week giving it a last shakedown before she's parked for the winter again. Here's the final race fuel dyno graph without smoothing the car hit 1032whp.



Had a funny moment where the car lost spark for some reason and stranded me on the side of the road. Luckily it happened to be during a shop lunch outing and had both mechanics in the car along with the shop owner haha. We got that sorted and the shakedown went really well. The car pulls ridiculously hard when it can hook. Rolling burnouts in 5th gear are pretty crazy. This is with the old wheels and not so great tires still on the car. Next year with the R compound drag radials it will be interesting to see how she holds. Drove her around for a few days and then had a small mishap with the turbo oil feed line.






Luckily I had been prepared for an incident like this happening on the shakedown. Best $29.99 I've spent. Was on the highway and idling down to a red light at the edge of town and smoke started pouring out of the hood and through the transmission tunnel at the shift linkage. Pulled over and saw that the bearing housing of the turbo looked like oil had been running down it. Made the choice to try and limp it to the shop, then got this weird feeling. Pulled into the next 7-11 about 300m down the road, popped the hood and the oil had flashed and was on fire. Grabbed the extinguisher and put the fire out. The culprit was a split end on the threaded on hose. Calle handled everything super well, organizing a flat deck to grab the car and get it to the shop. Picked myself and my lady up and lent us the shop car for the day while they fixed the car. Can't say enough good things about Four Function Autosport and the team there. Love dealing with the guys and Calle. Had a hose ordered and installed the next day. Switched to hydraulic crimped hose ends for the feed line to prevent the same thing from happening. In the end it was just a little cleanup of the engine bay that was required.



Took the car down to Penticton to support Shawn from the shop and his Drift Union Drift Days. Was the last drive for me in the car this year. Enjoyed the cruise home with a couple of the guys who were at the event.


Car is back at the shop now getting the last few things cleaned up and installed. Have a couple toggle switches that we can choose from to use for the AC clutch engagement so next summer I have AC. Also the electronic E-Brake we ordered showed up and that will be getting installed soon. I'll post some photogs of that install when it's completed.

You're welcome brotha, definitely one of my favorite builds! And congrats on the making the 1000whp club. Pm when you find the price, definitely still interested in one.

Glad you had that fire extinguisher handy you definitely saved your baby. The blacked out motor looks amazing

Some progress on the build. Been slower this winter as had the car at the body shop and now just getting finished up with the wrap. Then we have some work to do on the car before spring arrives.





Loaded the car car up to send to the body shop. Bumpers getting stripped back down to chase the spiderweb cracking.





Sitting at Mirror Image waiting patiently for its turn to get wrapped.




While the car has been away a few of the parts for the build have arrived. We are focusing on building the rear end and addressing some of our concerns from the first drives.

For the rear end we are sticking with the 200mm and installing an OS Giken Super Lock 1.5 way LSD and currently have some 1400hp axles being built by The Drive Shaft Shop ( including hubs). Surprisingly we got the LSD overnight as we lucked out with it being in stock at one of the shops suppliers, the last one they had.




We are going to fab a rear steer lockout bar as well. And replace all the bushings to finish up the work in the rear.

Next up we are going to drop the oil pan and install this baffle plate to help with the front sump design and prevent oil starvation under hard acceleration another lucky order as this item is no longer in production apparently.





Doing a little work in the transmission area as well. We’ve received a 6 puck to replace the single disc we had in the car, keeping the same pressure plate to try and keep the drivability close to the same. Picked up a transmission blanket as well because safety first. We will be fabbing up a proper driveshaft hoop as well.






Should be getting the car back fully wrapped this week. May have to hunt down some of the Chrome window trim as the boys said they were having trouble during the disassembly prior to wrapping.
