Hey everyone, its been a very long time since I posted about the car. Its been about 3 years since I touched the car. I started the build back up in February. I went thru some nasty life changes and some set backs, such as life. I'm glad to be back at it again and I havent given up. I have taken a completely different route. I actually parted the entire car out about 2 1/2 years ago but I held onto the car. I'm shooting just for a 650hp Street Build and some lower power on the road course track, there will be a lot of cool suspension mods coming to this within the winter time. Currently, its about getting the car back on the road and making the shootout for the first time in almost 5 years with my actual car. I'm unbelievably close to completing it. I moved it to my shop in Feb. The progress has been nonstop. Things are about to come together. I am 1 week or so out from getting the Motor/Head. I went with a Stage 3 2.0LR BR motor Stage 3 Ported head. I have a completely new part list and I'm creeping up on the $30K range in just parts alone. I've attached some sneak pics...
These are just some of the parts, i'll get more pictures up soon - I'm mainly waiting for some missing bolts, couple of fuses, another set of AN lines for return, gaskets, and all the timing components to come in as well as The Built SB and Head. After that she will be ready to have the entire drive line bolted up, and the LongBlock in full form put in.
Most recent update: Interior is done - I went with the Binary Engineering seat brackets, and replaced more of the interior. Winter will be all the tiny little things that have marks or are just not in the greatest condition and need to be replaced but for the most part, its in great shape.
All the brakes are done with DBA Pads/Rotors. All calipers re-powdercoated and rebuilt.
All the carbon fiber is back on the exterior and cleaned up the paint with a good wash/wax etc..
I actually put the trunk back into the car and making a custom unit for the battery - pictures to be posted soon.
I completely removed my Engine Harness and replaced with a nice clean uncut re-loomed harness. Pics to come soon on this as well.
At this point i'm working on the fuel system. I went with 2 Aeromotive 340lp Stealth E85 pumps, i took my BR double pumper, modified it completely with all AN Fittings and Ran -8 AN Vibrant black nylon hose to Feed and -6 AN Return. I am re-wiring the pumps so both will be on at all times and removing the BR Hob switch. Everything goes into a STM Fuel Rail and into a Fuel Lab FPR. Pictures to come on that next as this is this weeks project to finish up.
Update: Car is running amazing now for the last month, all tuned and everything.
Car made 600hp on 31lbs of boost on a mustang dyno and is currently on 34lbs.
I need to get more photos of its current state but heres some for now.
Excellent work! You have a good taste for parts. I, too, never liked that ricer silver that comes on the hood vent of aftermarket CF hoods. Good job painting it 4 years ago, it looked/s so much better. I noticed you have evo 8 seats, did you part the 9 seats out as well?
