bored and proud at the same time. so making threadz on internets.

I'm planning on debuting the car for 2007 at D1 this weekend or Formula D Atlanta as far as big events. Got tired of last year having a ghetto pos that broke at every event even thought it was always broken to being with, making whatever adjective would best describe more broken, which is either brokenner, more broken, or jankalicious.

Anyways, here is an update of whats going on with the car and stuff, as I occassionally have people asking me, and since this year I'm not rushing everything, and job+family+selling stuff that I've had forever has so far equivacated to decent car build.

New stuff:
Painless harnesses, no more wiring problems sweet switchpanel
Chris Tyler/Jason Murphy/Mikespeed/ XAT Racing Ls1 mounting kit
Mikespeed guage cluster with Equus gauges
18'' foose nitrous all the way around
Dunlop DZ101 demo tires, Sport max for competitions.
Lea Anne Powell aka Girlspeed Inc/AIT Racing LS13 hood
Addition of more nuts/bolts that werent there before...ummm


Coming next week
Drive Shaft Shop driveshaft
ZOOM twin plate clutch
XAT Racing/Header Mike Ranlet/Mikespeed/Chris Tyler Headers which do not require removal of steering rack to add/remove header, as featured with the XAT Racing LS1 swap package
Flowmaster Super 40 dual 3'' Exhaust system with flamethrowers
New wheels
Bigger and better cooling system.
Spectre Performance Intake, fuel lines, dress up stuff.



Coming within the next few weeks
Re-installation of last years LS1, with a fresh build, with Linginfelter Cam/head goodies, more Magnuson boost, Formato tune.
New paint
New B Magic Aero kit & Widebody
500 RWHP Dyno passes from idle to redline
Same welded diff.

More updates coming soon, maybe, but people keep asking so I thought now that progress had been made, I'd post some updates. Plus I'm able to actually take a little bit of pride in my car for once, so I kinda made a thread to show off the nifty doohickeys on my car this year.

and the new paint is......flat black with red pin stripe?
sounds good though!!!

you running the part store special headlights again?

Paint is either early C5 blue with tad extra flake

matte black with flames

c5 blue with flames

EBP with flames so i can say my car is honda tyte paint done ryte

flames cubed?!?!?!
damn, thats hardcore. but yea, you need flames on there, its a must

that steering wheel is baller...is it a mooneyes or one of those mad tyte JDM ones that the cool kids have now days (or something else)?

if the steering wheel is a mooneyes how do you like it? i was thinking of getting one. i heard a rumor they were soft.

al i can say is true great, like totaly. i like the idea of pearl white with a ghost flame. that would just be dick!!!

Hellzya, bud. Lookin' good. What wheels are you running now?

I agree totally, if you do flames you should do ghost flames. Mike I'm really impressed with the work on the car, it's progressing along greatly and it looks like it's gonna be dick for this season.
