This is a sweet build!! Can't wait to see completion.
Attn to detail is amazing.

 

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.

 

So....what is FMU going to call their new wing at the shop?

 

They will prob name it after me!

 

I think they definitely should.

 

It will probably feel very strange getting reacquainted with your vehicle....especially since it's become such a monster. Be safe.

 

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.

 

Amazing build. Should be a lot of fun!

 

Was in FMU getting an oil change last week - your new lights look awesome! Definitely freshens up the look.

Good luck the rest of the way

 

​​​​​​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....

 

Is there any update to this build thread? Would be nice to see the finished product. Hope all went well OP!

 

Dear Santa,
Please bring this beast back to live.

Subscribed, awesome thread. Amazing project! Anxious to see what's next.

 

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.

 

wooooow, perfect job

 

Things are getting all buttoned up. Nitrous system back in. Cage is pretty much all set too. They will run the dyno soon with 67 mm pulley and then the 60.

 

Would the shop speed things up during winter so you can enjoy the ride in summer? Looking forward to se the dyno with the 60mm pulley.

 

Looking forward to the video of the dyno run.
The attention to detail on this build is amazing. Everything is getting done.

 

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!

 

a lot of money put into this build. but very nice job so far

 

I can't believe this thread started two years ago

 

good things come to people that wait but i would be crying if it was 2 years and my car

 

Right? I would've sold it by now haha
