You mean the Ken Block that lost at his own sport to Tanner Foust?

Ill put up some of the radiator set up after the weekend.. i also snipped the stock rear bumper up for the rear diffuser and also shortened it by about 4.5". check out the thermostat housing i tacked together! ill be welding a bunch this weekend.

This is coming along real nice, but while the car is torn apart I would take the time to remove any material and paint the interior to clean it up. And I would clean the dusty spots under the hood. (not saying anything to offend you, I'm just OCD and have to work on clean areas or I get lost. )

! dont worry.. i will be cleaning it up real nice!!! theres still alot of dirty work to do before i get to the cleaning and painting... Ill be postin pics of the rad in its new home after the weekend..

Sounds great man. Do you still plan to compete this year? Updates and a video would be sweet.

Heres some of what ive been up to

 

[phizzalot]

Not bad mattmullin, What else have you put in the rear?

Do you only have a welded center diff without front axle's

Or do you have other transmission/ transfer case/rear diff Modifications?

 

[mattmullin]

I'm runnin a cusco 65/35 center, quaife front in a evo3 trans and kaaz rear. the car is for awd drifting, rwd drifting is sick and fun! but a lil played out in my books.. awd is where its at for me!

 

[ncampos92562]

Hell yea for full time anti lag.

 

[afoster98GSX]

Cool videos. You need lots of power to drift a true awd.

 

[FearlessNick]

I can drift in my FWD. Just like hitting corners and stuff, not continuous drifting.

Just because you can do something doesn't always mean you should...

 

[Novec64]

Much respect mattmullin. You've got a lot going on there. It's cool to see a DSM build that isn't just for drag. Not that I don't love drag racing.

well a little drifting spunned a bearing i was playing around with oil weights thats the reason it blew (oil turned into weight of water )
