Didn't want a torsen rear diff?
Dis gonna be good!
I did and still do, Just $$$ that could be spent elsewhere for now. I know Im going to open the rear to swap the Gears for the long TR6060 Gear set and Watts link
Pretty Busy week this was so not much time to work on the car. Still managed to get a few things done.
Painted the 8.8 Rear with POR 15, Works great! Just dont get it on yourself.
Was also able to fit the first APR Wing! Will be making this much taller, But it will do for now.

The car already came named, Didnt have much of a choice!
Well I was able to get the Axle back in the car, Had some issues with the Brakes and Hoses but got it all figured out. Turns out since the car has no ABS, The rear actually has a Splitter in the old brake line, So I had to flare a T in for the new Steel lines.
Other than that threw the rear coil overs in and the new Wheels on!
Also put on the new Enkei Wheels with NT01 Rubber, Looks pretty sick!
Got the seat bracket in and the OMP Seat Mounted, and Tested it for fitment! haha
Was able to pick up these Raxiom Gen5's But sadly the Pass side does not work
So have to deal with that.

So have to deal with that. When is the lil V6 coming out? lol
Also, how is that MaxJax working for you? How thick is your concrete floor to deal with anchoring the lift?

Cool!
When ever I have more time than 1 day a week to work on it
. The rest of the time I am school so its hard. Last Midterm is December 15th So after that maybe a day to get it in and a week to iron out the tune and little things. Then off too the cage shop. The Max Jax has been great! One of the best things I have gotten for my garage! If I remember correctly I have 7 inches, but the anchors only go down 4.
Are you building this car for a specific series?
Well AER is our main goal but will be raced in NASA and SCCA.
Also considering the 24 hour chump race at VIR.
Looking good so far! Can't wait to see this process from start to finish.
Until it doesnt have any windows except the front and the cage is clearly seen lol
I wondered if you were building it for AER. We ran the AER race at Summit this year. This car sorted would have been capable of being a front runner in that race.
Have you seen the AER schedule for this year? Spaced out about perfectly and 5 great tracks!
We've run two 25 1/2 hour chump races at Nelson. Reliability is key for those events. The package you're assembling should be just that. I look forward to following the build
I have and it looks perfect! The car is committed to all 5 events per sponsorship agreements.
We did Chump last year at VIR for their 24 Hour race and had a great time. Really want to bring this for EC class but would hate to see it destroyed by a $500 POS.
You can follow our race page for our updates and we are currently looking for drivers.
