Never thought of it to be honest.
Me three, i just haven't had a schedule that allows me to do the finishing work to the body work. Between school, work, and the girl i've got my hands full. But there is an event on the 21st that i'll be taking the car out to so after that i will go full blast towards paint. Thanks Homie

I'm sad to say it isn't i've had some family matters come up that have prevented me from actually working on it. This weekend was the first time i've messed with it in about 2 months. We should be back on track for getting it ready and painting it in the next week or two.

Going to Driftwater this weekend? Cars off the track for a while...clutch is done and I'm not wasting anymore money on this KA. I'll PM you when I do pull it out and see if you want it since you're KA-T.

Well since it's down time season, i decided i needed to address a few issues i've had with the car at the past few drift events. I've replaced every line on the power steering with ss braided hose and earls fittings. I've also added an inline power steering cooler to stop the fluid from boiling after long sessions. Sorry for the cell phone pics, i will have proper pictures up once i finish and coat everything.
Here's a parts list for it: Rack HP - 14x1.5 to -6 metric adapter Pump HP - 16x1.5 to -6 metric adapter Rack Cooling - 14x1.5 to -6 metric adapter -6 weld male on steel -10 weld male on steel -10 weld male on alum Cooler with -6 fittings 90* -10 fitting Straight -10 fitting 90* -6 fitting (x4) 4 ft -6 SS braided hose 2 ft -6 high pressure SS braided hose 1 ft -10 SS braided hose High pressure line Before After Done minus the cooling circuit

Me either haha. Got my PSM hydro in last week so i got everything welded up and installed last night. Still mocking up m y radio delete and redoing my wires under the dash to clean it up a bit. I noticed that when i installed my DCC that i had just left everything messy under there so when i took the panel off all i saw was a sea of wires. Now that everything is back in order i can throw on my new R32 BMC, and install the hydro lines and get some brakes again. I also got some new drift spares 18x10 +25 and some EBC Red Stuff pads all the way around for better bite.

Yeah, totally understandable. I'm going to need your help making my 18x9.5 +12 fit up front I've heard 9s are a flush and easier to fit on stock fenders...

better photo of them they shipped today just a little update.
Also started to block the car for the final time and found a location to rent a booth so i can spray it. Changed to a different idea with the clear, throwing in some HOK Gold pearl just a touch so it doesn't overpower the red.

Found out that my gas tank was full of rust and sediment, which in turn clogged up my Walbro, so i kinda went over board and built a fuel cell at work, and re plumbed the entire car with -6 and also got an aeromotive stealth 340 in tank.

There are so many little things that are so whipass about this build that people need to take note of. So nice to see a trackish car of any sort that isn't half assed. Good job man. Bravo.
