lol Jay, he's keeping the paint job a secret.

CB: Looking forward to the next update mate, that exhaust system looks so tidy in the center of the bumper.

You dont even know how hard it is for me not to show anyone my OFFICIAL paint scheme.
Thanks mate. I love how the exhaust turned out. Took forever welding all the pieces together and the entire rear of the car is modified, but I love it!!

The person that did the render works for House of Kolor. He does all of their pictures and photoshops. He did mine in about 30 minutes.

Contacts at the House of Kolor, dayum!

COOL man, looks really good. Can't wait to see it painted though

Erm... Latest videos/sound clips aren't working for me... It's been about 20 minutes and it's still buffering.

That aside, your car looks great! What mufflers do I see hiding under there??

Thanks GVAN. I plan on painting it by the end of this year.
Slicks,
The videos work perfect for me and everyone else. Try right click save as on any of the videos. They should DL instantly.
Another note. I received all of my power steering components last night and I will be starting on those today after work. I will also be installing the Hydratech Hydraboost. This will be the last major time consuming step before the April event.

I will have the tripod set up on the next event again. The hard part will be that I will have passengers this time so the camcorder will be hard to mount in the car because of the rear view mirror.

Can you not just get the passengers to hold the camcorder?

It would be physically impossible. Too many G forces. Heck even with my power lumbar seats and 3 point seatbelts it would be impossible. The video quality would be nausiating to watch unless fully bolted to the car or with a tri-pod like I did last year.

.......... or I could fly on over and be one of the passengers!

DUDE ! Your car sounds incredibly nice man! Love the exhaust too! Very cool. Can't wait to see it all painted nice and purty like.

That thing is INSANE man, truly awesome ride. Just out of curiosity, is there any way you could have routed the exhaust under the diff?

T/Y I love the way it sounds too. Even with the full exhaust. Hopefully if things go well I will paint it this year. I just bought 2 commercial garage lights so I can see better while painting.

T/Y Yes I could have run the exhaust under the diff but it would have looked terrible and when the body went up and down from bumps it would hit the axle.

Last night I started on the Hydratech Hydraboost and the power steering conversion. The hydraboost is bolted up and now I need to bolt up the power steering gear box and run all the lines.
Here is a pic of the Hydratech Hydraboost. It replaces the air sucking power booster.

That makes sense. It just looked like it would be a hell of a lot easier. Then again, I guess not everyone is as lazy as I am...Good stuff man, that is a truly awesome car.

Dang it looks like I will have some serious competition this year.
Car list so far and it looks like my dream will come true. I might actually get to race against some Dodge Vipers!!!!!!!! Im gonna have some killer pictures and video from this event!!

Thanks a lot skip. Compliments are always greatly appreciated since its soo much hard work. 👍
Im currently converting from manual steering to power steering. I also installed a Hydratech Hydroboost for the brakes. Should be a night and day difference in the way this car handles on the track after this is all finished.

+👍 to your Rep. for that exhaust setup. God is that sexy.

Very nice 👍

I didn't make it through the whole thread, but I saw where you ran at GingerMan. I used to live over in Portage and had a chance to throw my 89 SHO around G-man a few times.. what a great track to run on. Very technical and very safe at the same time, nothing to hit but grass. And with open track sessions at $50 it's the absolute best "driving school" you can get for the money; I never learned so much about the limits of my car and my own abilities as I did turning 20 laps around that track.

I'm in SE Michigan now... I'll be back that way later this summer to turn some laps fo' SHO (been a couple years since I was there) and I'd love to see your ride in person 👍

Let me know the next time you go there. Too bad you cant make it to the April 14th event. I could take you for a ride.

DRIFT GOD

That isnt even the full list yet. There are openings for at least 12 more cars.
It would be a dream come true to actually go up against some Vipers. Even if I get owned it will still be the time of my life to be on a track with them at the same time. Im sooo excited!!! I wish there was a good way to record my gauges and in front of the car all at the same time. I will have to experiment with some camcorder locations and see what people think.

whoa whoa whoa, hold your horses. Now I love the Camaro, but there shall be no Viper overtaking at the event, I simply won't allow that. lol

Interesting entry list so far... 69 Vette, 3 Vipers, hell even some Minis. lol Well its diverse I'll give it that.

Yeah I would be really surprised if I actually have a chance to pass a Viper. It would be cool but I dont think my car can do it yet. C5 Corvettes yes but vipers I would be surprised.
There will be 3 or 4 groups of cars that way it is evened out as much as possible. Last year we had 4 groups. I really doubt a stock Miata will be in my group.

Here is an update of the car list and the break down of the 4 groups. Looks like I am in a differnt group than the Viper but thats ok it will still be a lot of fun. I will delete the list in the other thread since this is the new one.
