Haha sorry man, it's English slang. Basically, your glass work is awesome. I've done a bunch of fiberglass work in the past and your pictures are reminding my
Of the itchiness.

I understand the time thing. Good luck with it it looks great so far.

Thanks, well.. its just evolution.. Got the car since 2003.. With welded center diff.. no PS, spool up over 4k rpms w A/T ..its pretty anoying drive it in small city..lots of tight turns and car/center diff just hate it..so you feel bad.. That way wanna push it to its limit without compromise

Wish you had done the pipes from main hoop to rear towers straight instead of putting the bend in it, it is looking good.

!!UPDATE!!
Pretty long time left without any updates..
Drove her for first time without any fiberglass part on.. just roll cage. .lotta fun..imagine hood exit exhaust and you not having windshield.. was hot out there hahah..
Finished doors w aluminum inside panels..lexan glass..etc etc.. Was pretty scared run car for first time w whole body parts on it )but all last ..no issues till now.

last week raced on local race event... finished 2nd in fastest class.. all had R32 engines or simmilar.. lost finals due TPS sensor.. caer wasnt able move from pre stage to stage...then wasnt able spool up my turbo and leaved line w 0.5sec reaction and not fully spooled( Car was running nicely..35ish PSI of boost. Time slip down

Now finishing shell.. sanding.. filler on..sanding...another filler..sanding... and hopefully this weekend will paint her
Then gottta turn up the boost to 45psi and install shift light so I can easilly shift/ now had only my cell phone..smart phone w app from my EMS/ EMU no time check the damn damaged "track" and check rpms... w shift lighjt will be much easier

Iam using Koni yellows w HaR springs, Hard Prothanes bushings all around plus braced rear arms.
Gotta redo aligment, Had to install 30mm wheel spacers cus slicks were touching knuckles when car touched ground.. now w spacers I can see lotta "A" at rear/ will put washer under rear upper arms to get "0"

next week 3.10 going for another race Surface got better traction..with better aligment hope to cut at least 1,4 at 60" Plus 45psi boost.. Yummyyy

Now THAT is a RACE CAR.

Damn good job.

I like it with just the cage, take that thing to the dunes haha.

 

[Dsmkauai]

So sick bro! Really cool that you set out to do this and did it! DSM ftw

 

[91-GS]

What fasteners are you using for what is now the hood (the entire front section) of this beast?
Have you noticed any flexing or other unwanted movement in the panels? Am wondering about that since panels are not supported in too many places, although fiberglass is more rigid than metal.

 

[TAMA_player]

Do you have more pics of your water to air intercooler set up? i want to see more!!

 

[2gGst98]

WOW!!!!

I read the whole thing. And WOW!!!

I love it, saying how good you did / are doesn't do anything for how good you did/are. Are you going to paint it eventually?

But man I give it to you, and give a huge applause
