so hot...I really like the silver/black/red accent theme

 

Looking good

 

And I'm commenting on your dyno. . . . . . **** the dyno, that thing looks incredible !!!!

 

That's amazing! How hard was it to get the badges greyed out or painted orange? I love the CLS 63 on the back. Was it pricey or difficult?

 

Your beast looks outta this world Jason!!
My hats off to you good sir.

 

Nice...which tyres do you use ???

 

Thank you so much guys. Its been a pain with all the shop time but well worth it. Now that I am pretty much done on the outside we are trying to solve a problem with air temp as it got to high doing the dyno run and thats with a Renntech Intercooler kit. We think this is why is WHP is maxing out way before redline. Next track day is 8-11...We'll have a lot more stuff done before that day and will have had this figured out by then...

Thanks again everyone...its like my 3 child...

 

freefall: you never answer peoples questions!!!!!!

 

what model wheel? same?

 

I still think Hyperion should drop his....

 

are those the hre p40sc?

 

Maybe he will, eventually

 

I am on the drop side too.

 

Not a fan of the red accents but otherwise looks tight!

 

I'll drop it when the rest of you haggling me debagdge you cars.........

deal?
lol

 

hey Lon, ordered some more wheels up
can you go expedite them quicker for me?

 

I was seriously thinking about this....

 

Would you believe that I actually feel guilty about how busy I've been because I been not my manic self here???

I will make up for it today...lol

 

yeah Lon

 

Couple of comments before the questions. I think the coolest thing about this car is the color and it is almost always the thing people ask about first. You wouldn't believe how may people I see looking at my car looking for the vinyl folds thinking its the best full body wrap ever...when I tell them its factory they are floored. Lots of cars getting full body wraps out here in cali...lots. The other thing are the HRE's combined with the drop...the two just belong together and really changed the whole stance of the car.

On the performance side I am getting a lot of understeering when I throttle through a turn...its a little scary so I have to break in a turn to get the weight shifted back to the front and that's not really what I want to be doing. Break before the turn...throttle through it...thats what I have been taught and its just not working....

Getting it aligned tomorrow...I don't have any issues outside of speed bumps which are everywhere in my life.

The dealer did it for me along with the pipes and original wheels. The badges were cheap...maybe $150...Can't remember.

Happy & Russ- I honestly don't know the offsets but Vic, Rob at Vivid and Lon at HRE made sure they were perfect and they are all right here to help. Tires - 255-30-20 and 305-25-20 set in Michelin PS2. HUGE improvement over stock conti's


Yes sir...20's in satin black. I'm still on awe....

On the fence about that...I'm getting new badges sent over from Renntech and am thinking about the CF inset that Agency Power has on their car. Haven't decided what I am going to do yet but its an option.

I think it ties in the calipers and break lights...and I stole the idea from AJAG......I almost did them all red but the dealer said it would be overkill...but I like overkill sometimes...

 

O'yea...I have been asked to present the car at an International car show in LA. I will get detail out to the locals if it happens. If I missed any question let me know and I am more than happy to share what others here have taught me if you want to send me a PM. One thing I have learned is that there are no stupid questions...and that this community is dying to help where sometimes I know it can seem intimidating from the outside...for real.

 

hmmm, suggestion- how bout throwing a bit of contrast with the finish and make some of the accents glossy?

Im intersted on how itll turn out...

 

We went through this big time at the time of paint but my painter liked to "frame" the glossy with the matte i.e. the windows. So using that theme we also left the center bar in front glossy to go with the front bottom lip, windshield, moonroof back window, glossy CF wing, color matched chrome down to the pipes which was the first thing I did...used ceramic for the heat. Kind of a front to back theme.

I am seriously considered doing a glossy roof but I have a hard time painting over this paint.

Also - After race day some of the aftermarket paint started to chip a little (pebbles at 140mph will do that, hence the blue tape) so I will redo before the car show...maybe I will give it a try.

 

do a vinyl wrap

 

You mean for the roof? Yea...thought about that... an option.

We're you at C&C yesterady?
