Drag Race Build my journey to a 9sec street car

Updates from yesterday:

not as much done this weekend that I’d like but had a busy weekend.

Parachute is mounted. Gonna have to make some changes to the mount. Either making it removable or making a mount for the plate so it’s not hidden. Next is getting the dash in. Already got my body saw to cut into the dash.

 

[OH91awd]

Dash is in. Even got the speaker grill to fit in there as well.

gonna finish the dash stuff up then moving on to the rest of the interior parts

so the fiancee and i got to talking over the weekend joking about this stimulus check we are getting for covid-19. shes getting the motor currently in my car to swap into her genesis coupe. we were talking about finishing my aluminum rod engine and i jokingly said id use the corona check to buy the cylinder head parts for it. she replied with an ok.. so currently looking into building another cylinder head.

You have to sneak those in when they're in a good mood. haha

its a win for her since shes getting this motor to use she wants the aluminum rod motor done so she can refresh this one and start swapping.

 

[AWD-Tony]

Nice. So the genesis is getting your current motor?

 

[OH91awd]

yessir. shes going to put fresh bearings and rings in it once we pull it and then start getting parts together to swap it.

Cage looks good. One comment. Flip your chute cable bracket mount bolts. You'll cuss if you are working inside the car and stick the threads into the back of your head. Plus it will look more finished that way.

soo i got my b pillar panels cut to fit. theyre cut a little more than id like but this was the best i could do with what i had (they had a crack going through where it needed to actuall be cut so i imporvised until i get another set) going to get them, back seats, nitrous bracket and try to get the dash wrapped up this weekend.

also got the first package in to start building the cylinder head for the new engine.

going to order valves next and then drop the head off to get machine work done and parts installed.

 

[OH91awd]

Got the rest of the interior in thanks to my fiancée helping

got a few more things to do then it’s 100% ready for the track and some cruising.

 

[OH91awd]

Also we went to get some groceries and of course had to do a little pull on the way home

 

[OH91awd]

also went ahead and pulled the trigger on a set of antilag racing street wilwood brake brackets to build my own front drag brake setup through work.

[AWD-Tony]

[OH91awd]

Sounds sick!! Nice grocery getter

it makes for a quick trip to the store

 

[OH91awd]

Couple more things added to the interior

Using the rivnuts to bolt the nitrous bottle bracket down. Also got the passenger harness in but got to grab a fresh driver harness from work this weekend and get it installed.

 

[OH91awd]

Picked up a few things at work today.

Also decided to order my rear Wilwood brackets from antilag racing. Super stoked to get those parts together and get on the car.

 

[OH91awd]

Little more done today

Nitrous bottle bracket mounted-ish. The flange on the bolts I got aren’t big enough so need to get some washers to finish bolting it down.

also threw in a new set of harnesses in the drivers seat since my old set was expired.

What to do with this
