Good luck on the build and Keep us updated as you go along. I would Love to do a build too over the Winter but will see

 

Thanks! We will keep updating this thread as we go.

Glad you're happy with the new parts buddy!

 

It's about that time....









We have the brand new Megan coilovers (again) installed, The Brake Man front brakes (5.5 pound rotors!!) going upfront to replace the Willwoods we ran last year, the 15" blue TE37's (9.2 pounds), Hoosiers, and we are waiting on a carbonfiber roof to come in any day now ...

She should be back on the ground for our open house Saturday...

 

Great looking set of wheels.........should look awesome on the blue evo

 

The coilovers and ride height obviously need to be adjusted, but it was nice to get her out of the shop and dusted off.

I dig it.

 

The lifted look eh

What size wheels and qtp's this time?

Those new brakes are crazy light we have them on a 1G project in the shop

 

How much are those break man set?

Have you drove it yet?

^How does it compare to Wilwood in breaking/stopping?

The rears are still Wilwood right?

 

Would those wheels have cleared the wilwoods up front? It looks like you got a +35 I would have thought you needed a +22 its not the kinda thing you want to be wrong on. Sick wheels!

 

Yes guys, sorry the rear brakes are still the Willwood's and we only changed the fronts because of the weight difference... and they look way cooler.



Anyhow, got some more stuff in!

Dave Buschur hooked us up with their beautiful front mount once again - same exact style as we ran last season... Last year there were a few things that needed changing, and this piece was not one of them. Thanks again Dave!



And if you look in the background, under that short block (without holes ) there's a completely refreshed transmission from Jon at TRE. Anyone who has seen the videos knows that thing took such a beating last year and withstood all that abuse... And Jon has always taken great care of us! Two thumbs up for TRE!


And we also had AMS's carbon fiber roof come in.



We are just getting ready for the install this week and if it was anyone but Cory cutting her up... I'd be nervous! But no fears, the Ricer will be unscathed and a whole lot lighter! When everything is said and done, I'll try and get everything that came out and get an exact number, but I'm going to guess about 40-50 pounds will be shaved off. I'll be sure to get pictures of the 'cutting' as long as I'm here for it!


A few more "big" orders are going to be trickling in this month as well and I'll post up the pictures as they show up. No motor just yet, but Emery has been spending a lot of time on the phone with Mr. Buschur lately...

 

Wow! Great set of changes!

 

Now that is just ridiculous. I'd better see this thing at the Shoot-Out in Aug. I'm not driving 1200 miles for nothing.

looking good bigE

 

How hard is it to swap the roofs btw? It seems like it's a lot of work...

 

I dont know how i ever missed this thread. So any hints on what you guys are going to be running?
