any chance itll be ready for Lone Star Drift Round 5??????

 

ahhhhhhhhhhhh Cant wait anymore Edafe

 

Sorry it will not be done in time, but Next season it will be at all rounds.


Me to bro me to.. Good things come to those who wait...

 

Just got done reading through all of it, excellent build and I'm pretty stoked to see how this turns out.

 

it better be! cant wait to see it done!

 

Okay everyone here I am with another update, Sorry it took so long to bring you another update just been really busy. So to let everyone know I am getting close to start up on this thing, just need to go pick up my T56 in Houston, then head to my Fab guy to make my custom oval exhaust and then head to stew's house for final wiring. I would say a good 4k will finish the project. So hopefully very soon.



So lets kick this off with a beer shall we. Beer of choice is Circus Boy "The Hefeweizen" by Magic Hat. Now if you know me by now, you would know I love Hefeweizen beers, so this is no different. A very good beer.



First up to bat were my new sway bars. Motordyne hooked it up with a nice setup sway bars I must say. The quality of these things are top notch.



I paired the sway bars with some Whiteline endlinks.. Love the gold...lol



Fit is money, have to test my -20 AN fitting just to make sure it fits. I will post pic later when I do.



Good clearance..



Stamp of approval right here..





I think these Whiteline endlinks just look so fresh.. I did how ever have to drill the holes out some to fit them, probably due to powder coating but they fit like a glove now.

I thought I took a pic of the rear to but I guess I did not, I will have to post that up later as well.



Now I don't think I have posted up the Sikky Shifter yet, so here it is.



The quality on this thing is flawless in my opinion. I also love the fact that they made the thread work with Nissan 350z pattern.



The only down fall to this shifter is that they made it to work with all GTO T56 transmissions. Which causes some problems for guys running Camaro T56s. It tends to pop out of gear due to the difference in shifter location on the transmission.. To solve this problem you will have to purchase the new guild plate from a GTO and also mod the mounting points to make it work with your application. At the moment they are working on the solution for this and I will be sure to update my blog when they do.



Other then that I think this thing looks sick...



Next up is my new custom Ebony and Ivory wood shifter. Made by Andrew Martin. A work of Art this thing is, to me its the little things like this that make a car stand apart and the two pieces Andrew made me did just that in my opinion.



I mean look at the detail,,




Close up... So crazy to think something like this started from a block of wood.



Mounted on the shifter, it just looks like it belongs there.



No words...



Next item Andrew made for me was my Hydro grip. I wanted it to match my shifter so Ebony and Ivory wood was selected again.



And yet again Andrew out did his self with this damn thing...



I mean seriously look at this thing...



Here is a good pic to show you how big it really is. From pics it looks too big to grab but it fits my hands perfectly (that is what she said)... I know someone was thinking it....lol



Top view



Side by side view of both





Perfect match up....



So I have been working on finishing up my interior.. Only things left are my CF door panels (Which I have to cut) and make some floor boards so my feet can set level and then I can place my floor mate were they need to be.



Again its the little things that make the car...



And the work that Tobby did on my dash just completed and complemented the look I was trying to go for. Clean and simple.



Tobby in my opinion makes nothing but art when it comes to his dash work. He takes on each piece like its his own and I for one can really appreciate that.



So thanks Tobby for making something I will use day end and day out..



Here is a striaght on pic with my hydro and shifter mocked up... Looks good



So before I can call the interior done, I have to do a few things like: re-wrap my shifter cover and fix the whole that I have there now. Which was used for my old CNC hydro. And also clean up all the edges I cut to fit the dash or and center console





Also I mocked up my Stack gauge just to give me a idea how it will look. I will be making a bracket to raise it up some but you get the idea from this pic.

So that is it for the update today. Hopefully I can do another update soon and something that is more exciting.

But I would like to thank Andrew and Tobby for making some awesome pieces for my build. I think those little items will set the car apart.

If you guys are interested in any wood work please hit up Andrew Martin on FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php...ref=ts&fref=ts and check out his website: http://drewbuildsstuff.blogspot.com/

And if you are interested in getting any work done by Tobby, check out his website: http://broadfield.wordpress.com/

 

Awesome update!

 

That is all.

 

speechless

 

Very Nice!!!

I had to have my aftermarket endlinks machined to make them slightly smaller (shorter) to keep the Cusco front sway from hitting the oil pan. Not sure how your stance will sit, but you may want to keep an eye on it.

Request... no more sideways pics please

 

^^^ I think I might have to machine mine as well. It is way to close now and its not even on the ground.

Also I fixed the rotation of the pics on my photobucket but for some reason they have not changed on this page.. But noted for next time..

 

Nice update!

Gonna have to try and find that beer too!

 

Epic Job dude what stand alone are you using i want to upgrade once mine is done and do something similar to what you are doing with the center console but right now its out of the budget

 

U not have to hack up ur dash all that much to fit it with the a pillar and dash bar n the way? I had to cut the heck out of mine.

Also u doing anything for heat on the floor board mine gets super hot amd hot enough to melt the rubber of the shoes. Couldnt imagine hiw hot it would b n tx heat.

Keep up the good work cause it worth it. U seen pic of me driving my s13 v8 on fb and im loving every min.

 

nice insight...

 

Mine does as well and it is only a drag car. I just took the wife for the last drive in the car before I sell it and she thought I still had heat... It's 43F outside and I don't have heat...

 

The dash was cut up a bet to fit.. Now as to the floor the only thing I plan on doing is making a floor board for it. But will look into any other things I can add to soak up the heat. But to my knowledge it should not be that bad, shoot I already have cuts in the floor for being as low as I am...

 

If anything some header wrap on the collector's would make a big difference.

 

^^ oh that is happening. I thought you meant something for the floor

 

Best build evar!
