Good news, Picked up a sponsor for cooling products. Maybe you heard of them,
More pictures of the products once they are in and being installed.
For now, had to start making this car a roller so I can drop it off at the body shop. Started on the upper control arms and removed the stock bushings.
Then cleaned out the left over rubber. The front upper is on the right, the rear upper is on the left. On the rears, they have a metal insert and with the new bushing kit, I just left those in there instead of taking them out.
Then installed the delrin bushings we made a couple weeks ago.
Then pulled out the front subframe and bolted it to the car.
Added the delrin rack bushings and bolted that on.
Battle Version rear traction links and rear toe links.
Then put the rear subframe together.
Its really hard trying to get work done and worrying about trying to get the parts you need to continue working on the car. I spend so much time on the phone and internet inbetween all the installs that I'm really supprised that I can get work done. Today also tore the motor apart but going to save you from motor pics. So many on the forums that I'll wait till its getting ready to be put in. Goal is 1000hp.Comment

1000hp on the a 2JZGTE isn't hard to do. I can't wait to see that. So STOP POSTING HERE AND GET TO WORK!

Yeah, thats its nick name since people think its a hot rod more then a street go kart.
its starting to look like a car. Getting ready for paint.
Trying to talk Brian Crower out of a 3.4l stroker kit. So far its kinda working. Probably doing a 2jzgte DVD with drifting.com. CP pistons may be helping me out with a set. Ended up on the phone most of the day again. Droping off the motor at [URL="http://www.speedomotive.com/" Speed O Motive[/URL] in the morning to start being cleaned up and ready for machining. I trust those guys alot. We made a sr20det and ran it on thier dyno for the castrol top shop challenge, it made just over 850hp on 100 octane.
Still trying to get a clutch and wheels for this thing. The car goes to paint on monday, think I found a color I like.Comment

GOD DAM ALEX shyt i missed this whole thread lol Nice shyt man nice lol cant wait to see it at the track . how much was that chassis powder caoting ?Comment

They dont charge that much. It was $650.
Picked up another sponsor, Rotora. Too bad thier web site is down. Said it was getting moved or something.
6 hours later and finally the body kit still doesnt fit right but at least its decent from 30ft away.
Thats what I get for buying a $200 body kit. What a waste of time. I did drop off the motor at speed o motive. And the rear end got dropped off at Kaaz.
Still need a better clutch pedal, wheel sponsor, and a turbo.Comment

Good news, new sponsors,

They are sending the BC 3.4 stroker kit with 9.0 compression pistons, 272 cams, titanium retainers, and single style valve springs. We will also be going a DVD with Drifting.com for the motor build.
