I'M BACK!!! (not that anyone cares :( lol) PICS
 
I missed you guys! I've been staying at my relatives for pretty much a full month now and its sucked... no computer, no internet! :-X. Anyways, I got back yesterday and I immediately started working on the car. This post was created a while ago so the first pictures are from awhile ago.

Holes so the main hoop can slide down to get to the "hard to reach" welds. IT'S ALL IN MY HEAD ALRIGHT GUYS! lol

Little bit of floor plates/main hoop fitment. Nothing welded or tacked yet.


http://www.dangerouscrewcustoms.com/...n/DSC01155.JPG

Main hoop/roof hoop tack welded in place for measuring pillar bars.
I got tired after all the grinding, measuring, and sanding so I decided to get going after this.

My friend welding the HKS flange to the charge pipes.

OK I had to get the standard Beau picture hahaha

Close-up of the oil lines and coolant lines. Following the oil line from the back of the block... oil temp, oil pressure, needle valve, pressure gauge.

HKS ssq is on and charge pipes are welded everythings goin pretty good so far.

Side view (you can't see the oil drain, I forgot to take a pic of it... it's not too good. Their's a very bad loop in it which means I'll prolly have to buy a shorter line >:(. The one I have now is SS braided 10an and cost me about $40!!!)


http://www.dangerouscrewcustoms.com/...n/Dsc01269.jpg

I had to brighten up this image but the car is BACK ON THE GROUND! YAY!



http://www.dangerouscrewcustoms.com/...n/Dsc01267.jpg

Front view back on the ground.





OK anyways damn that was a long post. Seems like one of Jeff's posts haha. In the next couple of days I'm gonna gap the spark plugs, get an o2 sensor, finish a couple vac lines, put fluid in the car, finish the roll cage, hook up the ecu (not chipped...... YET!!!!!) and start that bitch up!!! I'm definitly gonna get video of it's first startup, good or bad. We shall see what happens and I'll keep you guys posted.



Happy to be back.

Thanks for the comments guys!

To clear everything up about the 3 monitors... yes it's only with one computer but I can move screens across monitors and ----. Trust me, it's ------ badass! Some day..... I'll have a wall of monitors. lol

The interior will not be staying gutted, for now. In a year or two, after all the engine work is done, the car will be strictly for the track. At that point I will have more oppurtunity to reduce weight.

nigel - strange you mention that. I don't know why it's relavent if the car is red but I am getting the car painted black next winter, in which case the engine bay will be black too. Unless I decide to leave it red for that... "hey look at me" look. lol

KRAZY T - You're ------- crazy!

Thanks everyone.

Kaelon,
Funny about the pic of you in the engine compartment.
I always take a pic of me standing in an empty engine bay with every project at home. (Only on the home projects, not at work)

Oh yeah, and as far as sexy, the FMIC wins my vote! LUV IT!

Keep us up to date on your progress!
