Well my car has been down ALOT longer than i had hoped so finally decided to do something about it...The Build, much like this thread is still a work in progress and just starting now. Since 99% of our day to day work is fabrication this build will feature lots of custom fab and parts

The goal here is to build a light, responsive car in the 550whp range with heavy attention to detail.

Some of the parts that have been showing up here at the shop

Wedssport tc105n 18x10.5 +12



Internals for the LR 2.4L...Manley 10:5:1 Pistons, Howard Rods, GSC cams and valvetrains




Skunk2 Intake manifold and Full Blown 70mm TB...Opened it up and started porting, still waiting on some porting tools i ordered to show up...will post progress pics

We'll i've really been slacking on this...The weather down here in AZ has been downright miserable and rather humid, so after a long day at the shop its hard not to head home to the AC

Anyways some pics of some new stuff

Where I'm at with my turbo manifold


I finished up porting my Skunk 2 intake manifold and welded it back up


All the flaws in the casting have been cleaned up and i also cut down the dividers a little bit.


I'll be starting on my brake lines and clutch line once my master cylinders get here next week.


Also got my Wedssport's back from powdercoat..Gloss black now




Hoping to get some tires next week, then the car can sit on the ground for the body parts to be fitted.

Precision 5530 (Gt30R turbine wheel with Precision billet 55mm compressor wheel) 1.06 divided t4 exhaust housing, Dual ball bearing water cooled. Should do about 550WHP with a good power band
