Plans for Winter 2016/Spring 2017:
Dry sump - I already have the oil pan
Chromoly Tubular rear subframe
AMS Carbon roof
The car will be going to the same shop that painted my Varis stuff to get ALL the little dings, scratches and imperfections fixed, then repainted either WW or the Pearl White that is on the FE's. I havent fully decided yet.

Do you mind if I ask what shop you used? I'm looking into getting a full FQ400 Kit painted and installed soon and just wanted to compare before deciding. Thanks in advance.

Perkins Paint and Collision here in the springs. One of my tuning clients is a painter there. Ask for Danny.

Man this car is simply insane. Such attention to detail. Makes me quite jealous. Nice work!
How close are you to your goal? Do you have much more planned for the car still?

Thank you!

the only things I have left are:
Chromoly Tubular rear subframe
AMS Carbon roof
The car will be going to the same shop that painted my Varis stuff to get ALL the little dings, scratches and imperfections fixed, then repainted either WW or the Pearl White that is on the FE's. I havent fully decided yet.

I'm not in a rush to get those done though

Damn, this thread has progressed a lot since I last saw it. Awesome work man.

How's that P/S pump working out with quick, repetitive, and high angle steering inputs (autoX)?

Thank you!

It probably wouldnt work good enough for autoX, but track days and normal driving it works great.

Want to drop 25 more pounds?

This is Ken from Ludicrous Speed. The car looks great and the weight reduction is impressive. If you are looking to drop some more, as in 25lbs, we offer all Aluminum Knuckle/Axle Bearing Holders. They save you 25lbs and look amazing on the car. You can take a look at them on our website at http://www.ludicrousspeedshop.com/Featured.html . We have them on several track cars already. they would be a great addition to your car...
