Diffuser template was given to Aero flow today.
Going to be adding a few little details to it as well.

the front facing end will have a 1 inch height so that it channels the air appropriately. and by the end of the diffuser the height will be 6 inches taller than the base plane.

The tomei springs and retainers...Once in my hand... I was kind of sad at myself for paying so much for these things when they look so simple lol

PPE longtubes came in, and im the worst with pic updates compared to Brian hah.

But planning to send the car to technosquare at the end of the month. Nervous to definitely say the least. Pulling together the last bits and pieces. Hoping on some last sponsorships that I would really like to have. Tomei head studs are orderd along with arp main studs. Tomei bearings are all reserved in stock so that I have them right away once technosquare gets their clearances.

Once its out of the shop from the rebuild it will directly go to my new guy that will be fabbing the side exit. as promptly after head to Church's for the tune so I can finally drive it again.

And then as soon as I recover from the labor costs on the engine, car is headed to GSwerks for the full cage. and in the mean time while thats happening, I have to create a 3D version of the chasis mount wing stands so then can be handed to my source that will water jet cut them out of high grade aluminum.

Not to mention my new full time job I got, starting this new full-time semester of school, applying for private design schools and starting my own company all in January.
Time to start pulling my hair out LOL

Car is at Millennium Motorsports in Temecula, Ca. Should be done with in a week hopefully. Everything that is being installed.
Tomei 272 cams, tomei springs, tomei retainers, supertech valve seals, ARP head studs main studs, Cosworth 11:1 pistons +20 over bore, Tomei con rods, ACL bearing set. PPE longtube headers, Mishimoto oil cooler, Mishimoto catch can, Mishimoto hoses, rev up oil pump, new water pumper, full gasket set.

Getting towed directly from Millennium to GSwerks in palmdale. Getting a full cage with gusset plates, door bars and X bracing. Also the side exit exhaust that will be coming inside the cabin of the car.

From GSwerks it will be towed to Church's for its final tune.

Once it is tuned it will be going for a full car detail and then its half wrap/semi livery style.

While the next day it will be at Aeroflow for its custom diffuser.

And hopefully this will all be done before Formula Drift LongBeach ..... HAH

Wavetrak 1.5 way diff came in today also - bought off a member here
Ordered brake pads and rear diff bushing.

Car goes for a retune this week also then Evassive will be doing an alignment and corner balance. Then off to the track to start the season!
