Nope I threw that away... Sorry bro it was beat up anyways

 

noticed u are switching from CNC to ASD hydro. is this because the CNC flops around too much?

 

i have CNC. it does flop around a lot which i don't like. i see many FD drivers' using em though

 

Awesome thread royal!

I just read the whole thing.... I got stuck lol .... Love the fact that your posting prices... Now the dilemma

Save for twins or v8
Can't wait till you get her running... I want to see #'s and times on the strip

Good job royal

 

v8^ all day

 

one of the reasons and my builder did not like the setup of the CNC..

Bro you will love the ASD Hydro. I will have pics of it next week. The craftsmanship of it just blew my mind..

Bro do V8 you will never be more happier.. and thanks for the kind words..


You know it

 

SIZE="3"]STAGE 4: Phase 3 '"Cage work and a little tube chassis work"' [/SIZE]



Okay it is that time again folks. Let's start it off right with some damn good beer. Beer of choice is Maui Brewing Co. 'CoCoNut Porter,' and damn this is a really good beer, brewed with 6 varieties of malted barley, hops and hand-toasted coconut. Def a good beer..



BAM!!!! look at my new jungle gym... Russell has out done himself with this cage and I just love it..



Have to have some good door bars, cause you never know what can happen..



Since I have these door bars, you can say good by to my door panels.. Going to replace with some Carbon Fiber love.



Love it..



The view from the back is what got me. It just looks so intense:JAMIN:



Damn sexy!!







Russell really has done a good job with this cage and front tube chassis I would recommend him any day of the week..





Next on the cage is pretty much doing the base plates and the front part but looks good now...



Damn that is money!!!!



I was really glad that the door bars came out good. Was scared my big *** would not fit... but its all good..



Looking good





plenty of room...



Back to the front,, looks good all put together. This is not my hood but pretty close to hit, I will have the 07 TS hood in its place.. but looks good so far..



Close up of the Ducting that Russell did, looks clean.. Now should I keep that ducting Silver or paint it??



Close up of the bumper brackets,, Look at that sexy weld...



Welded up my other -20AN fitting



Clearance looks good..



Clearance looks spot on.. this is where my PS cooler is going to go..



Looking good, we still have to do the Plywood splitter so it will look pretty good with that installed.. Can't wait



Before I left I spotted this big *** turbo in a Civic pushing somewhere around 1000HP+ so crazy..



Also found Russell WRX on the dyno getting ready for this weekend Lone Star Drift series.. **** is a monster...

If you guys would like work done by Russell hit him up on his fabricated Facebook Page: HERE


Next I will have some totals up, cause some parts have come in.


NEXT WEEK: STAGE 4: Phase 4 '"Cage work and some part love"'

 

Welds on the cage is looking awesome!!! Would have thought the door bars would have been away from you just a lil bit but still looks amazing!!!

 

Cage is on point!

 

Very nice Edafe!

 

Nice progress !

 

Thanks everyone for the kind words..

Thanks bro, well the plan was to run the door bars as far into the door as possible but I guess he decided not to do that.. But they will do for now.

 

damn its gotta feel good to be a gangsta

 

You know what it does feel good

 

cage looks great mate! Cant wait to see the CF door panels are that was one of the reasons I went with out the front section of the cage as I didn't want to lose the door trims.

Car is an animal man that front tube chassis is amazing! You should cut it and add clips so you can take the whole front end Inc rad and lights etc for working on the motor!

 

no more nius edafe?

 

STAGE 4: Phase 4 '"Cage work and some part love"'



Beer of choice this week is Stone Brewery: 'Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale'. I personally love almost anything from Stone Brewery so kind of bias when it comes to them.. But this beer is really good, has a strong bitter taste, so be prepared.



So I got some new stuff the other day that I am really stoked about. First is this sexy *** ASD Hydo E-Brake that I am going to be using. ASD attention to detail is just on another level in my opinion.




I mean just look at the handle itself, Man so sick



Comes with fittings already installed just need to run lines, which is perfect timing cause we are redoing all my brake lines..



Next was my power steering cooler. I did not need nothing big cause the KRC pump really does a good job. So this would work perfect.





Also got it with the fittings so I could run all my AN lines to it.



Next up is my sick custom built Radiator from Ron Davis Radiators.. When i came by he already had it installed so I could not get any out of the car shots..



Ron Davis makes some sick radiators, you can get a custom built one or one that is already made for your application. I went with the custom route.



Double pass radiator with custom -20AN fittings. Oh yea!!



No fill cap



Built in Oil Cooler. This radiator is 3 inches thick,, looks huge...



I think it fits so nicely in there with a little kick slant to it...lol



Now I am trying to figure out how I am going to run my Intake. I could run it straight like most Vetts run theirs or. Run it to the side and down like a cold air setup.. Thoughts?



Going to run it to this custom tank we are Fabing up.. All Coolant lines are going here..



Looks so clean peaking thought the headlight whole..



Okay let's raise this car up to see how it looks from underneath.. My car looks so sad in its stock form, can't wait to finish her up..



Fits like a glove.. Man this thing is going to get some nice direct air flow.. So stoked



Nice to see something there instead of just air...lol



Now I just have to get some nice Spal 12" fans and I think I will be set...



I think once I paint the bay and tube chassis I will just polish this up and leave it silver... Thoughts?

Okay now for the prices..

ASD Universal Hydraulic E-Brake (16" Pull-Back): $179.00

Power Steering Cooler: $29.00

Ron Davis Custom Radiator: $800.00

Total price so far: $10,097.16

NEXT WEEK: STAGE 4: Phase 5 '"Cage work and Hydo mount"'

 

Thanks bro for the kind words.. well I had to go with a full cage setup due to competition rules.. But its all good. I plan to make to CF panels simple and classy like..lol


And yeah I will most likely cut the top part and add clips so the front can be removable..

 

Nice, fab work!

Oh and that Maui brewing company coconut port is awesome! Two weeks ago I was in Maui and drank plenty of those and the Pineapple ale they have.

 

Reading your thread reinforces the good decision I made in going LS. I can't wait to post my own progress pics.
Thank you!
