Ordered this on Friday after 2pm, received Monday! Awesome job by J-Auto. We spun a rear wheel bearing at the last event, after 22 years and many high speed events the OEM bearings gave up lol. Now the fun part... to install

Got a new turbo for the car... I think this will motivate us to get a built rotating assembly or make for quick inspection of the crank at the track.

GT4788-r big step up from the BWS475 that is on it currently

You grenaded a diff, but the oem bearings held on? Neat.

Love the car. Everything is spot on. I'd find a way to run the hater pipes and the canards... Those canards were boss.

This is how we looked 2 weeks before FL2K.

Chopped the fuel tank down and made it taller. Deleted the spare tire well

Made all new pipeing after the turbo, modded the old up pipe to move the turbo over to accommodate its 6in intake. went to a 5in downpipe. Also got a massive 22x12x6 in intercooler core from treadstone.

Kind lost track and stopped taking pics as crunch time approached and we barely made the event. didn't even have time to put a bov on. Still really proud of what we were able to accomplish in such short period of time. Have a few things to button up before the next race event hope to get a 1/4 mi event in before our next 1/2 mile. Want to get an 8s 1/4mi pass and 190+mph in the 1/2mi pass before we move on from this SBE ls3.
