Holy loud batman, not even a single resonator!
Yup Russell does good work, sucks TX is going to loss him.. If I need anything done major now I would have to go to Portland since that is where he is moving to.

Nice got any build threads on that E36, can't wait to see that at the track.

And yup going to be loud.

Its going to be stupid loud.. I don't know if you ever heard Stew's LS S13 but prob that loud. We have the same exhaust setup. But now he has a sick chaser..

And yup this is really just my track car, so no real street driving.. But hey I might Street Shark this thing once in a while.. lol

Thanks, yeah with the ride height I will be at this is a must. The exhaust should sound pretty sick too.

I guess you are ditching the 19" DPE's because it won't be a street car anymore? You still haven't debuted your 18"s for drifting

As for the e36, I am still in the process of getting it all together, it is a much easier swap than a 350z thankfully

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah I can't wait to see how the PBM angle kit is. I know a lot of Zs are having problems with them.

yeah ditching the 19s because I need more 18s. Was going to use the 19s just for marketing for DPE Wheels at shows I am not drifting at but rather have more 18s and just rock those all the time.

The 18s are just like my first set just without a CF lip. Going to be running 18x9.5 -22 and 18x12-10 on those..




And can't wait for e36 to be done.. Man did you go to Mexican Standoff. Was by far the best event I have been too since last year.

Trying to finish up a few things before the wiring session and final startup..



The STACK gauge cluster is almost done.. just a little more fill and then its on to wrapping it black suede.. Should look pretty good once done.



Also picked up my new Kill switches, love these things. The red one is going to be mounted in side the car so if I do decide to street shark this thing I can look it in the off position. The black one will be mounted in the bay.



So once I complete this To Do list it will be time.. Should not be to long from now.

Also thinking about live streaming the startup .. Who is down for that?!?!
