Thanks man. The only thing I seem to not be doing is driving it.

I got the AEM back and I got the car running. Warm up idle and free rev seem smooth. Its getting it started I'm having trouble with. No big deal though I am sure it will get figured out. I need to make an appointment to rent the dyno again.

Also the car dropped another 20lbs. Removed some more crap and bought STM front wilwood brakes.

I just read through all 78 pages. Great attention to detail, this should all pay off! Good luck with the rest of the build too.

Wow!
Do you know how much the car weighs now with everything filled up?

Also did you ever get that tubular K frame mounted up!?
I'm interested in some people's feedback on that.

Yes the subframe is on.

I have not gotten to weigh it with the race tires and some other changes I have made.

Thanks. Yea it came out perfect. It was not easy but I learned a lot as I did it. I'm supper pleased with it. I just need to finish getting the lights inside done.

On a side note I'm having another sub frame made. Custom order and to be a little lighter then what I have. I already made a winter project list and I'd like to get another 75lbs off the car. That all depends on budget as I'm wedding planning for late 2015 so we will see how it gos. Can't be pissing the "boss" off right now haha.

I noticed you still have "power" brakes, have you considered a manual brake kit? That should drop a fair amount of weight. I know the brake booster is probably a good 10-15 lbs.

Amazing job so far by the way!

I drove a car with that booster delete setup. I do not like the feel at all. Thanks for the kind words.

I fully understand that, and I agree. I'll be putting my booster back on next year some time.

How long did that roof install take you? I want to ditch my current roof (with sunroof), I even have a spare RS roof sitting in my shed but just haven't pulled the trigger on tackling that job yet.

Also I might have missed it somewhere but you're not using ABS are you? If so how does that feel driving on the street?

Car is looking amazing as always, keep it up!!

I did it on my free time. I'd guess 12/14 hours. Maybe longer then most could do it but I went into it without knowing what to Do. Pretty much learned it as I went along.

No I do not have ABS. I feel the car stops better without it and the feel is an improvement
