Car is looks amazing!!

 

Thanks

It's a canton overflow tank, but don't remember where I got it from.

 

Any summer updates? I love this build.

 

Sorry for the late reply. Not much to update, haven't done much with the car this year, been slacking. Hope to get the car out to the track in the net few weeks.

Bought a Smooth Stage so I can be like the cool kids and bump into a pro tree. Couldn't figure out how to put in my current panel without looking like ass so I enlisted a buddy with a 3d printer to make me a new panel. He's a wizard with the thing and did some awesome work. I don't have any good pics of how he made the openings perfect and was able to make the Boost Leash and Smooth Stage Modules mount so they were even on the front even though they were different dimensions and depths.

Also added a bluetooth amp so I can play tunes the few times I'm driving this thing. It's a JBL GTR102 and it's pretty slick for the price, I can strea musinc through my phone and even has hands free for making calls. Also replaced the stock door speakers with a pair of Kickers. Mounted the remote in the ashtray and the amp on the trans tunnel behind the passenger seat.

Old panel.

Anything new going on??

 

Sorry for the late reply. Nothing really new, never took it to the track in 2019 more due to family focus and lack of motivation. Hope to get it out this year again in the spring. I will be replacing the dash cluster with a Dakota Digital unit in a few weeks, waiting for it to ship from the MFR.

 

Long time with no updates, soooooo....

Put in a new Dakota Digital dash this spring, it's a nice piece.




Also came hope with a pretty bad header leak when I got home from the track. Found the #1 exhaust port was basically completely open on the back side. Used my handy dandy tig machine (still learning - no dimes being stacked here) to weld up all the ports that looked like they were getting thin and that seems to have done the trick.

 

Here's a few pics from the track day a week or so ago. No new PB's, ran a 8.85 and 8.91, but I think there's some more in it. I didn't get any good videos. 1 crappy gopro from inside the car.

 

Apparently we are limited in how much media we can put in each post so adding the edited posts here:

Went to a track day last week and the tech mentioned I didn't have a locking dipstick in my trans. I never knew I needed one so I modified mine to put in a set screw that fits conveniently into the hole for the set screw on the dipstick handle. Just welded a tab on the hold down nut and drilled and tapped a hole for a set screw.

 

Other pics from the track that got cut put of the previous post:

 

Nothing new on the car, but made it to a track day a couple weeks ago. Was 90+ degrees and the DA was like 18Kft, but any day you can drive the car back on the trailer afterward is a win in my book.



Same run but from the inside.
