No pressure right? Ha!
You do realize that while you're trying to get the power down in first gear I'll be sprinting away in second.

You gotta know I'd love to be there and will if my schedule allows it. Incredible machines, cool air and twisty roads are a turbo owner's nervana. The board will throw you all under a bus if ample pictures are not posted.

I have no problems being second

I'm just going to try not to kill myself!

And there will be more incriminating photos and vids than is possible to imagine before hand...

And your right, no pressure...hahahaha

Okay, so she's sitting on the ground right now, but just a heads up the driver's side wheel is off as the hub is with the Engineer guy to custom fab up the hats needed for the rotors.

The wing is love or hate but its functional.

And yes the 315/35/17's fit under the fender using 7" inner and 3.5" outer rim BBS rim halves.

The bumper hasn't been fully reinstalled so that's why there are gaps on the drivers side with the fender.

The height appears high in the rear but we're looking into that, the ride height in the front is right on for the lowest setting, we're going to raise it up slightly for street use.

Almost there, looks great!

Christamighty, Gab, you're gonna have forearms to size of popeye's from manhandling that thing by the time you get here! Between the rear 355's and front 315's, that's a lot of meat on the hoof. Hope those guys have a chance to do some shakedown time to get the suspension dialed in somewhat before you get there.

That front shot looks familiar

onboost · 11-08-2008, 05:09 AM

OMG!!! Gab, that thing is taking on a seriously sinister look!!

Loving the wheels.. they look even better in place!

I LOVE everything.. that tail set up has yet to grow on me... MAN that is ONE SWEET F'ing MACHINE!

Reaper930 · 11-08-2008, 10:21 AM

Glad you guys dig it

And yeah, the tail is kinda fugly, but at the same time, the functionality of it attracts me...I dunno...its carbon fiber so I can't "kick it out of bed" haha.

Justin: Yeah there' hoping for dyno and suspension tuning next week...if they don't get arrested doing the testing hahaha.

Thanks Paul - Again, your great advice really paid off on the completion end. Ole Skool IMSA baby!

Reaper930: There's a book, Vintage Aircraft Nose Art. Has some good stuff in it,BAD A$$ CAR.

Reaper930 · 11-08-2008, 11:42 AM

Here's my photo shopped version of "Black Betty" that I want on the car but I can't get anyone to make me a decal of it to try out.

Any ideas?

Haircut:

Turboo934 · 11-08-2008, 11:56 AM

Ask Dave at TRE, or look online under Vintage Aircraft Nose Art Pin up Girls. I found Cristine at the Pamona Car swap meet.Or find someone good with an air brush.Great pic for a Pin up Girl.

rsrmike · 11-08-2008, 12:39 PM

your car is coming along real nice! i especially like the rear wing. it conveys a message to small animals that if they are not eaten up, they will be sliced up.

Reaper930 · 11-08-2008, 07:56 PM

Dial: hahaha hells yeah man - I never thought of it that way but if they manage to dodge the 8 other intakes...she "slices and dices even makes julian fries!!!!"

maximo: glad you like it

Thanks for the info Turboo934

Mike: yeah...I didn't know if we'd be able to do it but I wanted it to feel like a go kart...hehehehe and I love big rubber, to me a car's status as "legendary" boils down to the attitude and size of the rear tires

Man that is a sweet sound! I was expecting it to be more of hollow "blop blop" sound but that has a nice raspy note more like a NA car, or a turbo w/ SSI's.

Throw in the whistle from the puffers and it's just SICK!

I have to see this car in person one day...
