Next up for my money pit are new R888R tires for the CCW SP500s I bough this year and haven't mounted yet. Then it is time to do some interior stuff.
The 1 of 23 Sonic Blue w/ Parchment Build

R888R's are nice. I went this time with MT ET Streets out back, will see how they do. Hopefully you can find R888R's, I think they have been on backorder for a long time.
They have been on stupid back order for a good bit.
I hear you guys like big brakes. I need to polish the AFS wheels for sure and detail the car. They get dirty being in a shop.
One thing I absolutely hate about the SN95 chassis is the amount of subframe twist between the front and the rear of the car. It always takes away from the driving experience. Sure, I could've kept the subframe connectors in the car that the previous owner installed but that wouldn't have been any fun nor would it have achieved that true chassis rigidity they I am chasing. I went with the Stifflers FIT system for the subframe connectors. I've heard nothing but great things about them and I'm excited to see how they feel.
If you plan on running these be prepared to spend some time fixing your pinch welds. Of note I have a Fore fuel system from Lethal Performance and I had to move the fuel filter a bit to make room.

God bless man, I love the build on this.
Thank you so much. The build is winding down a bit for this iteration. I think next up is interior starting next year sometime. I've debated if I want to start vlogging the car as progress is made.
Finished product on the Stifflers FIT system. I have their k member brace and spider brace left to do. When I said I wanted to stiffen the chassis up I was not kidding. I doubt it will ever be Corvette or upper level sportscar equivalent but maybe I can get close.
Would for sure watch. Been following this since day 1. Maybe I’m just geeked out over Sonic Blue’s.
Sonic blue to me is the best color of all time. Down the road I will get a complete respray of fresh sonic blue.
I'll be getting a camera soon to at least start doing photos out here in Vegas.
The suspension project is about done. The Steeda sway bar, Steeda light weight sway bar brackets, Steeda Cobra sway bar spacers and Steeda delrin sway bar bushings are all mounted up. It was definitely a pro move going to the Steeda setup. It looks absolutely killer and should compliment as well as perform well with all of the other suspension upgrades.
Getting super close to being done. Fuel tank should be going back in soon and then the alignment.
Not much progress has been made on the car recently but yesterday the alignment process started. Who would've though replacing every piece down to nuts and bolts in the suspension would mean the alignment is way way way off?
I am also thinking of what to do next on the car.

Ride height is not where I want it quite yet but my buddy is going to dial it in for me today.
You're no SO close to "finished".....until you start modding. Really nice looking SB Cobra. Great job, sir, great job!
I am talking myself into not doing the engine and trans build until I enjoy the car for a long while. Sometimes I forget I own the car and then wonder where my money went.
If anyone is wondering why she looks weird. The side skirts are not on.
This is an awesome build. Makes me want to do all that to my car with your money. Haha! Keep up the great work sir.
Thank you so much! This is really a dream come true. I may have another deployment coming up so maybe things get more out of hand haha.
Not bad at all. Just take your time. Give a good cleaning once you get them off. Lots of grime builds up under the skirts.
Thank you sir. This was a long time coming and I put a lot of research into what parts to select. I will do a review as I get I to a videographry hobby in the near future detailing everything.
