[peregrine]

AWESOME!!!!!!

when do i get to see the bad boy in action?

 

[Stock Josh]

I dont get it. Where is your giant sprint car wing to go along with your dirt track suspension?

 

[MrBishi26]

Love the stance. looks mean as. I dunno about the cut front bar, but will reserve my judgement until it's all painted.

I'm still chasing those lancer bars for you too. Not much luck so far, as you may have guessed!

 

[szewczyd]

A tad off topic, but that looks like a nice banshee in the background. I have a yfz450 and hopefully will be getting a banshee in the near week or two. I can't live without two stroke!

its ok. take your time. i have 4 ears before my kids old enough to drive as far as the front bumper goes, i can buy fiberglass ones if i need to. i cut it because the middle was squashed completely together. i figured if i didnt like it id buy a fiberglass one. thats what i was going to do anywy because it would have been over $400 just to fix this one screw that. im on the lokout for a steel stocker though. i like having metal stock bumpers on the car for some reason.

Like Mr. Burns always says




Exxxxxellent

 

[peregrine]

got the driveshaft today. i need brake lines and my turn signals wired up and this baby is street legal. i still need a dump tube for the external but thats easy. im sure theres a bunch of little shit im forgetting too but for the most part the car is driveable.

I think the cut front bumper is lame too. I'm glad someone else agrees with me.

 

[HotSauce GS N/T]

i also agree with the cut bumper but it is necessary because of the fmic. If he left it across i think it would look worse with the fmic sticking out the top and bottom. I think it would look way better if he cut a few more inches off each side and evened it up to the start of the fmic end tanks.

edit: as i looked at the picture again a powercoated black fmic would look more stock and flow with the car more......

 

[Stock Josh]

I like the full bumper/black intercooler idea. But John is blingy and probably wont go for that. He changed his paint scheme again too. Now it looks like a peice of candy corn. Ha ha.

Man its really coming along!. Been watching this thread for months. I have been wondering how much money you have put into this project so far, or if you have been keeping track.


Keep up the good work

He has more in his engine than I have in my whole car. Thus the nickname "cash cow".
