dopest feeling ever.. being able to sponsor local drift drivers.

here's Function Factory and AZEXILED.COM sponsored driver Chasen Blasdel breaking his brand new VIS Do Luck kit at willow springs a few weeks back at ALL STAR BASH 2016.

Lol, we have another front bumper ready to go for him after sema. (paint and body by Curly at Eleven's)

Car looks very well put together, absolutely love the skirts, even the front bumper is growing on me. Never really cared for the look of aero fenders though.

posting these against my better judgment... wont put it on fb. rough scribbles.. obviously.. but this has been the plan all the while.. just waiting and waiting. Had to put it somewhere somewhat public/non public so no one can claim I copied in case I get beat to the punch lol.

Will obviously have someone professional who has done martini e Rossi before and can best apply the lines to my car in a tasteful manner.. but it's a start at least.

Have you thought of JDM rear tail lights ( clear version) . I think it will flow better since it's clear light , rather than vinyl tight

Jumped into the back of the packed truck and caught a ride out into the Vegas desert at subset to take a ride in a 700hp LS7 Class 1 buggy... w 3 foot suspension travel at each corner.


I had the fastest run at 112 mph.. over continuous 3-4 foot whoops... the forces at play were unimaginable. Changes what I want out of my car greatly as well.

who is doing your caliper brackets? There might be a market for it as those calipers are relatively easy to come by especially if the bracket alignment allows the usage of akebone sized rotors.

I already have two bumpers, not really in the market for anything else right now tbh, much more important things in my focus for awhile to regain function in the car vs looks.

I wasn't aware that there is a bracket available for any Mercedes 8 pot, or do you mean there is a Merc caliper that has the same bolt spacing and is a direct bolt on?

well, looks like the initial cut out of the back /center section is going to happen next Wednesday. I didn't want to do it in the garage of the townhouse, neighbors are going to be pissed.

Figured some hearing protection and a reciprocating saw can get the job done for getting the major area of metal out of the car.. making it a bit easier to go back in and drill some welds and remove the left over flanges at that point.

Should have some cool pics and snaps/videos then.

sound mat is super thin, 100 ft squared was like 11 lbs, so this was nothing and helped seal holes and keep this thing more quiet as we removed stuff.

the tank is far far lighter than the accuair one.. one pinky lift, almost like its cardboard lol.. must be very thin, but that's fine, this is a low pressure system.

All in all, I've lost a ton of weight by removing everything that was in the back from the air and speaker system.

Cutting the metal out will help wash for the thinner Chromoly roll bar that will ultimately get built.
