Current status of things; Had to replumb the nitrous system for better flow. Blower ready to go back on now. Killer Chiller should be at shop within the next week for install. Cage is finishing up and then will b dropped in.

My car is entered in the 1/2 mile Wannagofast event in French Lick, Indiana Oct 14-15. Should be neat to see what it can do. It's their inaugural event there.

The tow hook is getting bronze powder coat currently. After dyno runs are completed, then the Renntech widebody, spoilers and remaining trim is all that's left.

Yes, but I'll get happily used to it very quickly. It was really fast before, now will b a different animal. Will b fun tho. I plan on driving it as much as possible in fair weather. Plus getting it out on 1/8, 1/4 and occasional half and maybe mile events. Will definitely get it on some regional road courses too.

What did your car run in 1/2 mile, how much rwhp and TQ does your build have? Nice car/build I am guessing your build costs was close to 70K....

Sorry for the long delay, but there were lots of issues with getting the correct fittings to hold all the pressure in the cooling lines. Multiple times the wrong fittings were sent. But that finally got sorted out. The plumbing is done for the nitrous system. They built a floor for the ice tank and bottle which turned out amazing and will keep the trunk clean from above. There is a pic of the CNCd brackets to hold the nitrous controller. Face-lift lights are in.
Obviously wasn't able to go to the Wannagofast event as the car was still in pieces. Definitely nxt year tho. Looks like it'll b a short driving season this year once it's done.
We r hoping dyno time very soon. Videos to follow.
After dyno is completed, the exterior elements will be added.

Yes, to a degree, but they just moved to a new location so it's been hectic there for a while with the transition. The programming of the face-lift light were a pain and the boost controller was bad.

FMU will be doing some test driving in the next couple weeks to work on the tuning. I should have some videos of those runs. Once that's completed then the dyno will commence. Stay tuned!
