Loving everything . Whenever I see one of these threads I always go in assuming the poster is a rich jackass, lol. It's nice to see someone who bought a pos s15, and wasnt afraid to get dirty to turn it into what he wanted. Nice work!

ixfxi - That's cool you don't dig it, not everyone is going to, which is the reason it is a little unique. My friend that airbrushed the vale covers was given the following instructions. "I like true fire but I hate it looking like regular fire because people put that crap on everything, I like blue and I like silver maybe a hint of purple so use your imagination and come up with something that everyone is either going to hate or love as long as I do not consider it hideous it will be cool" He hated the tribal idea and plain solid colors were out of the question (everyone does that). The flames have a hint of purple hue that cannot be captured by the camera (I tried liek 50 times) but it is pretty cool when it sets off. |

Update
I did some more work this weekend as I took advantage of the wife being in Thailand still. Because of her absence I am doomed to a bad attitude, microwaveable or fast food only and working on my car every single little chance I get.
Anyways so here goes it. Put the motor in the engine bay yesterday in order to determine where it sat so I could drill holes for intercooler piping. The Intake saide Hole is a 104mm Hole Saw, The Turbine Side Holes were a 73mm hole saw and a air saw that I used to modify a stock piping hole to fit a 70mm pipe. The Turbines are 60mm oultlet so the piping will immediately neck up to 70mm and under the car will go up again to 80mm. I know Bondo Sucks, but it is the only way I know of to fill in minor imperfections. Cake that shit on there and then sand it to nothingness that way it is only a one time application and that small little divit caused by the holesaw jumping and stuff liek that is taken care of without delaying you for days on end. Looks like I will not have too many problems with the big twins in there but I have run into a problem with the Front wastegate not wanting to play nice with the motor mount, so I am going to modify it later on when I am working on engine stuff again. I cut the core support in order to accompany a larger radiator with puller fans. According to the measuresments I took (I should be right in there, kind of tight but in there nonetheless. Once the core support was cut I cut up some sheet metal to start welding in so that the core support regains some of the strength it lost when I cut it (I took out the verticals so I got kind of worried about it) and also looks like it is supposed to be that way. So far so good, but I will not be done with that part until tomorrow. Pics Below. |

Got some more work done today and in the past few days.
Tom Painted the interior and engine Bay today We Primed the body kit so I could see defects easier and get them taken care of Final coat on the interior will be done tomorrow and then it will all about the clear coat. and moving onto things like subframes and suspension install. I should be done with this pig in the next 6 months if this keeps up. The color is a cool little mix that tom came up with and depending on exposure to light it will shift between shades of blue with a little bit of a purple hue to it. Started Marking of the bumper to make sure the vents I will be installing are center and correct. Got Some SPL Subframe and Diff Bushings in today Should get the rest of the footwork from NAMS in the next day or two. |

As far as for your streetable 600hp RB, I totally agree with you there. That's pretty much exactly what I would have done...... I'm left speechless. Amazing build *subscribes*

Thanks all for your comments, Once this thing is painted and I am working on other shit, I plan on doing a step by step on a painless harness install, maybe some carbon fiber molding, Tilton Brake Pedal install and of course the Stack Logger System and ECU. There are other things I will be doing and when people post interest or comments I have no problem outlining how I did something as well. |
