Ok, Its been over 2 months since my last entry. Work has been slow so in return cash flow has been slow. In my last blog we had just gotten the sound deadening out. Since then a lot has gone on.
We wanted to build the chassis to be able to go faster than it will with the current setup so we put a parachute bar and window net in. The Roll bar is finally in as well as the interior painted. The roll bar is a metallic purple. The third picture from the bottom is probably the most accurate of what it really looks like. Its really nice though. I will get good pictures of everything once I can push the car outside again. The whole roll bar assembly was sealed, base coated, and clearcoated. It was also a major PITA!
We custom made seat mounts and welded them solid to the floor to add support and removed the stock seat mounts. The seats still need covers.
We also picked up a JMF drag Manifold, true twin scroll top mount in place of our T3 and also the big dog 18cm twin scroll hot side in place of the BEP housing on our holset. We will be running a 3.5" bumper exit exhaust. We need to modify the mani and downpipe for our twin wastegate setup still. I still need to ceramic coat the hot side.
Also got some scat rods. D2 coilovers in the way this week and a TRE stage 3 trans soon.
Doing some minor porting and polishing to the head (unfinished in pics). Also picked up some springs and titanium retainers.
We picked up a 4 bolt rear which is in the process of being cleaned up and put in along with our rear subframe which will be completely blasted and powdercoated and installed with solid mounts.

One thing though I can't tell by the picks but do you have a halo and supporting bars? If not the net is kinda pointless because you need a roll CAGE before you need a window net.
very nice build
, kind of like rob hansons "green turd" looks like crap, but makes over 600 hp.
