I second that charlie..Cant waite to see and hear finish product, loved the bird and cant waite to see the viper finnished. and sorry if this is a dumb question but what is the 1% shop or club?

Not a dumb question at all. 1% is really just a forum, a bunch of local guys that have an enthusiasm for cleanly done and moderately quick cars, regardless of brand or country of origin. It has grown a little to the point that other states are in on it, but it is still mostly local. A couple of the members decided to open a performance shop, I was going to be in it originally but I had some family stuff come up and I didn't want to commit the money, and they decided to call it Onepercent Motorsports. 1% just stands for the cars/people that are enthusiastic about cleanly done, quick cars, opposed to those that just use cars as a means to get from a to b, or ricers, lol.

We have been lucky to the point that literally everybody gets along, and cars go from that crazy 800whp Integra to Vipers, Porsche's, to a few of Italy's favorites etc. Pretty cool when everyone rolls as a group Saturday nights.

It's really cool, everyone is competing in a friendly way and we just keep 1 upping each other.

Or some of us just watch others get faster and get left in the dust! haha

You better post up that startup vid homie when you guys fire that thing off and get it idling.

Alright, sorry guys, one last tease. I don't want to do a full info shot until the photographer has done the work. It isn't anything crazy, just this shops first custom turbo build, they've only been open for about 5 months. Here is the engine bay (part of it) and then the shop the car is at (One Percent Motorsports in Edmond, OK).

Status update: The tuner is getting surgery on his ACL Monday, so the car probably won't be tuned until the end of the week, I'll have full numbers, pump gas, and C16 by the end of the week, as we have an event on the 20th I hope to participate in, then full build info etc.

For now:





I'm REALLY happy with how the powder coat came out, I'll be changing the BOV's out for a different color, the fuel rails are brushed, all MagnaFuel fittings/FPR, and black -AN lines etc.

This is how the engine bay looked before, I switched to a Gen III intake purely for looks, but it worked out nicely for fitment as well, MUCH better IMO:



Shot I took from inside the shop:



Last post with incomplete shots, promise!

Yea dude that ***** getting old! lol I guess it'll make all the other ones much more worth it lol Heres a couple viper pics from SEMA...this has to be my favorite car at the show. Twin 80's Thought you might like it.

Yea, seen that car a lot lately, I don't feel it needs such a crazy setup to make the power the guy wants too, but it sure looks intimidating!

He runs mile events and maybe looking to run land speed stuff. I agree though, pretty extreme. When I get mine it will be a simple TT car lol

222mph at the Mojave Mile wasn't that car's best debut, but I know there is a lot left in it.

I don't know if Vipers make the best mile'/top speed vehicles, at least IMO. The cranks are long and heavy, they don't rev too high, and there are better platforms for aero. I think that's why Gallardo's and Supra's so well, they rev to the moon allowing more time in each gear, they are light, and pretty slippery.

My car is far from extreme, but I like to keep it a little low key from the mod point of view. I'm all for entertaining those guys that see "ooh Viper, I'm going to go beat up on it". Street cars FTW.

Car looks incredible. Looks like some solid work.

I'm secretly planning a very similar build when I'm all finished with school in 2 years. It's a long time out, but I'm educating myself now. Looking to do my own manifolds for a twin setup. Have already been eyeing a few cars in the $30-5k range, but I keep telling myself I need to wait. You may get some PMs from me in a couple years... haha. Looking forward to a detailed build thread!

That is a very nice car. I'm getting cracking on some builds right now but looking at doing a Viper down the line when I get older.

The picture of your viper in the shop looks sick...all the cars in the shop are ****...I like the little sneak peak of the fikse wheel in the corner on the viper

The keg is a nice touch also

Yea I knew he had those on his car for a while I've seen previous photos of his car I was just pointing out that I liked the picture and stated different reasons as to why I liked it
