Finished up most of the odds and ends, cut off the steering wheel and mounted a quick release and an NRG suede wheel. Put some LED bulbs in the headlights and wired them, mounted a rear LED light and back -up cam in the old chute mount hole. Also added some race stickers. Dyno booked for this Saturday, then hoping to make it to the shootout! :dsm:

Dyno was a huge success. Unless anyone wants to dispute, I'm claiming the HP/TQ record for a 14b. Made 369/403. Kept gaining 4-5 hp/tq with each degree of timing so there's still more in it. Laptop died and I figured keep the turbo intact for the track. Also, I had the hood wrapped since it was pretty beat up. Next stop - shootout?

Hell f***ing yes. That's badass man! Are you on e85 or race gas?

Love the hood with the car color too, can't wait to see what it does at the track!
 
A few more things buttoned up. Did a cold/ram air intake in the headlight. Re-used a 3" carbon fiber pipe that was originally from a VW Carbonio intake kit. Also realized that the smoked film on the headlights had a clear layer to protect them that was getting creased and dull, peeled it off and they look amazing now!

Car's pretty much buttoned up. Put the new seat harness in, pulled the corner windows and painted the border and got some lower trim for them. Also picked up one last little aero bit for the rear. Shooting for Atco on Friday!

What thickness Plexi did you use? Did you heat form them?
 
No I mean this mod. Never seen a dsm with these type of skirts. View attachment 576241

Oh, no clue on that one. Previous owner got creative. It's blocked off so I don't know if it was just cosmetic or if he had some sort of duct at one point.
 
Quick update, first attempt at the track in the fall was a fail. Alternator stopped charging, wouldn't re-start after going through tech, back on the trailer. Then it got cold really fast so I ran out of time for the season. Atco opens March 14th, aiming for another shot then!
 
Finally ran the car today. First pass off the trailer, went 10.94 @ 127. New personal best ET and MPH, first time running 10s. Set the 14b AWD ET and MPH record. they hot lapped us and on the burnout before the 2nd pass it popped a coolant line, parked it for the day. May try to get it back out before the end of the season one more time, after that it's being parted as the drivetrain is going into my friend's build.
