What did you do today to your 3/S?

[AdamVR4]

I'm shooting for 1200 AWHP for the dyno, and drive the car at 750~800 on the roads. Should be fun indeed, I'll have lots of pictures for everyone once the items arrive.

A build thread would be fun Good luck!

I'll be making a build thread for sure! Once I get my engine bay painted and throw the engine in I'll start it up (hopefully today) from there, It'll be a little slow going as I'm only home for four days at a time. But I'll stay on top of it Thanks!

Gonna need bigger back ends than the .63's on 35R's for those kinda numbers.

For that kind of power if you need a 35R based turbo the HTA86 from FP is probably the only one that will realistically put down those numbers. Rays 6262's had the .82 housings and seemed well suited for something as lofty as 1200awhp.

I had looked into that just before I ordered them, 1200hp was my original goal, and concluded that I'd need bigger A/R's but didn't want to end up with painful lag. Time will tell what happens though, should be interesting to see what I can make in the end!

Today I finished up the paint in my engine bay, door and hatch jambs. Looks great thus far! In a few days after the paint cures I'll be giving it all a good cut wax and buff. The firewall is textured to accept the gold leaf heat reflector better.

Beautiful. Make sure it goes down the 1/4 faster then nelsons. Regardless of what u do.

All I have to do is drive my own fucking car and I'll be faster than Nelson...

P.s.

It is heavy haha, I wanted to remove a lot more, but I really want to maintain the full interior and keep some rigidity. I don't want it to crumple like a beer can if anything bad ever happens on the roads. If I ever tear into it again, I'm thinking of pulling all of it and fabricating aluminium bracketing to install the interior. Time will tell though!

It's a lot of work so far, but now that it's starting to come together again, rather than apart and ugly, I'm enjoying the build much more
