I've been busy with the evil_eagle this off season, preview for 2008

[evil_eagle]

Haven't been around much since I've been getting ready for the 2008 season. We will be hitting up BOTI (battle of the imports) extremly hard this season with 10 events on schedule.

The car has gone through ALLOT of changes, lost about 300lbs out of the car along with some new parts and what not. Our goal for the 2008 season is to be consistent 8sec passes and to win more events then we did this past season.

Most of you have followed the thread on DSMtalk about the project log, so I thought I would share it over here as well. This is the thread I speak of Thought I would throw up a project log of the evil~eagle. - DSMtalk Forums


This was the start of the 2008 project, shown here is the front half of the cage being redone for more clearance and head room, before the dash bars were in front of the dash and now the dash bars go through the dash. During this process I tore every single wire out of the car, everything under the dash ect ect.

Daaamn bad ass, makes us proud to be DSM owners especially black talons he he, do you still have the stock doors?

 

[AuntiesTSI]

God I love this car. Subscribed.

 

[zero97tsi]

Mmmm, thats delicious.

 

[Ludachris]

Jake, did you make the dash yourself? I am really wanting to find a good fiberglass dash solution - something that's a little lower profile than the stock dash. And what carpet are you using? That doesn't look like factory 1G carpet.

 

[Tsi_User]

That dash looks really nice, good work!

Are you still driving it on the streets like last year?

 

[turbosax2]

Dang, thats clean! Nice work!

Jake, did you make the dash yourself? I am really wanting to find a good fiberglass dash solution - something that's a little lower profile than the stock dash. And what carpet are you using? That doesn't look like factory 1G carpet.

The dash is a Prostock cobalt fiberglass dash. I got it from Jerry Bickle race cars Welcome To Jerry Bickel Race Cars
The dash was an absolute pain in the ass to fit in the car, we had to cut it in 3 spots, shorten it, then reglass it back together, then trim and fit, trim and fit, trim and fit. That dash has about 25hours put into it. It paid off in the end, but I would never do it again .

As far as the carpet, I found a fabric store here that had this carpet, it is very thin, but it was exactly what I was looking for, 20 foot roll of this stuff weighed in at 1.8 lbs So it's lite as hell and looks extremely clean.

That dash looks really nice, good work!

Are you still driving it on the streets like last year?

I will still drive it on the street, but not nearly as much as I have been, it's to the point now it's not a very street friendly car, with 1600cc's and such, it's a pain in the ass for drive ability. I will still drive it now and then on the street, but I really shouldn't be since it now has a lexan front windshield in it along with aluminum rods that I have been running since this past 2007 season. Pics of the rods I speak of.

And this is how the bearings came out from the entire 2007 season, this is ruffly 45-50 low 9sec passes at 155mph-159mph with 38-45lbs of boost and a 100shot of nitrous. Aluminum is good!!

Yes stock doors, but lightened up a bit.

 

[Strm Trpr]

I know working with glass is a PITA, but you had some serious income potential there.
If you would have made female molds out of the fiinished but not painted dash you could have replicated the dashes ready to paint and made some serious $$$.
Either way, bitchin car man, I've seen it in person at Sac Raceway, and best of luck to you in the 08 season...

 

[packinkimber45]

Looks good Jake. Cant wait to see it this year at the tracks.

 

[420a-t]

Looks good, Jake! I want to see some engine shots asap!

 

[braceyoself777]

Looks like your trailing behind Mr. Shepard....that car is a friggin beast!

 

[97eclipseNT]

looks awesome jake. did u use the painless 12-circuit chassis harness? if so did you just follow the oem ignition wiring diagram? on their site the directions just show wiring for a distributor ignition i believe. either way the cars looking great and you did an awesome job fitting the cobalt dash in there...any weight numbers on that dash?

 

[chavez408]

We are definitely looking forward to those events, Vegas being our favorite track since I ran my fastest time over there and best 60ft.


Thanks for the kind words guys, block is at the machine shop as we speak getting bored and honed, should be another 1-2 weeks and the car will be up and running.
