Looking good man!

Tanuki · 10-22-2011, 03:23 PM

^Thank you!
Here's one from Lap Battle:

Today I started stage 2 of my weight Reduction:

Wasnt someone looking for window motors?

Tanuki · 10-25-2011, 07:43 PM

I got a few new parts today and have more stuff on order

lovdrifting52 · 10-25-2011, 08:07 PM

this looks like its gonna be a fun car to beat around

ladyzx · 10-25-2011, 09:22 PM

Looking good... love the brakes. I need a driver side window motor I'm in sl

Tanuki · 10-26-2011, 08:25 AM

^Thanks.

I am really excited to get the interior done. I should probably do kill switches, fire suppression, ignition button etc while its torn down. I might.

colombianbryan · 10-26-2011, 08:44 AM

That looks fantastic man, i can't wait till it's done! What are your plans motor wise?

Tanuki · 10-26-2011, 08:54 AM

^It may be a while, but either and LS1 or an SR20 built to about 300 to the wheel. I really don't want more than 3-350 max.

CamryOnBronze · 10-26-2011, 09:04 AM

Wow, nice work! Pretty cool build for sure. My brother actually used to have an 05 Cooper S with a ton of JCW parts on it and Alta exhaust. It was a fun little car!

Excited to see progress on this thing!

nightsauce · 10-26-2011, 09:21 AM

as everyone said, awesome paint. I'm getting a good vibe from this thread

Crondy · 10-26-2011, 09:33 AM

was that an indian bike, the last one?

any chance you got your tally racked up yet? pretty interested in that number, thanks.

Thanks. I like the paint more and more whenever I see it. Now if someone could get forza to put the kouki s14 in the game too. I have a hard time making the paint color on that game though.

I think that last bike is a triumph, though it very well could be an indian. I know he has made some really intense/ high dollar bikes. He is in magazines and stuff.

Tally Racked up? is that total $ spent so far or what? sorry Im not good with new words

Brok3n_RB25 · 10-26-2011, 10:47 AM

Great thread. Subscribed. Looks like I have to do a build thread for my car when it goes down in December to become a straight track car. Good luck and definitely keep us posted.

Don't think about it, just do it!

Tanuki · 10-26-2011, 12:52 PM

Dang say that with a little more ooomph

can someone recommend a Steering wheel hub/ QR?

Darren · 10-26-2011, 01:20 PM

Looking good man, keep us updated.. in for more

colombianbryan · 10-26-2011, 05:58 PM

awesome, good luck with everything! I'll be sure to follow your thread.

Numbers · 10-26-2011, 07:22 PM

So digging that color, good luck bro.

06_footy · 10-27-2011, 02:59 AM

Digg'n the build.

Tanuki · 10-27-2011, 04:44 PM

^Thanks to all.

I will be working on it a bit tonight. Have a bad set of Extended studs that need replaced. Not sure if it was the spacer or the hub that caused the issue, but it is not good.

Also I am hoping to start sanding down the floor to prep it for some paint.

After that I want to starting going through the wire harnesses and cutting out the unimportant ones.

Tanuki · 11-01-2011, 09:06 PM

Spent the better part of Saturday smoothing out the interior with a wire brush. There are a few more spots I would like to get to still, but so far so good.

Also something else showed up to increase progress:

S-Nation S13 · 11-01-2011, 09:25 PM

Sweet.. I love the color.. Hehe keep it up, build seem to be promising from what you have been posting..

Tanuki · 11-02-2011, 08:38 AM

Thank you. Updates wont be great for a couple of months, but the cage should be done by christmas

pandaroo · 11-02-2011, 08:52 AM

making some serious progress man! gotta question about your gutted doors. what are you going to do about the windows if your going to run any at all?

Tanuki · 11-02-2011, 01:02 PM

^I am probably not running windows. The track I drive at does not allow windows up while on track so they aren't much more than dead weight regardless. I may make some clip in lexan windows to use when in the paddock/ pits though. Or Maybe just continue renting a garage at the track. Not sure?

I personally owned a Works Bell short hub and Rapfix II quick release, and I'm happy with the quality. So much so that I bought another set for my next ride.

I'd take a look at the Works Bell Rapfix GTC for your setup...

Tanuki · 11-02-2011, 06:54 PM

I was looking at those but I know a few people that havehad them and told me the NRG hubs are just as reliable for less, so I ordered one yesterday actually.

If I hate it I will just sell it and go with the WB though. I was kind of in a rush to get something before we get going on the cage/ measuring it all out.

zomgsohc · 11-02-2011, 07:50 PM

Awesome build, man.

May I offer a bit of advice? I had a car with a gutted interior, and I painted it black. Everytim eI drove it on a hot day, I was sweating like a hooker on cowboy payday. I resprayed it to a sort of off-white/grey color, and did the floor on the drivers side in black (so my dirty feet weren't quite as apparent) and it improved things considerably heat-wise. And seeing as hot you live in Utah, where it's hot 80% of the time....

Just my two cents. Otherwise, awesome build. I'll def have to follow this thread and see how it goes! Good luck!

Agreed. I am thinking por15 white inside. That or a black floor with orange cage, but I am leaning towards all white.

KOUKIboy · 11-02-2011, 10:48 PM

^^^ Orange cage would look sooo sekxay with that exterior color!!! Nice build!!!
