Thanks man, the battery box is sold in Speedway mag. You have to get the oval track magazine it has all the cool race **** at a reasonable price.

Pulled the cage back out and sanded all the pipes.

Anyone buying this kit I highly reccomend it, autopower wraps their stuff before the paint is fully dry... Leaving a ugly finish.

I was debating on the color....the cusco stuff is blue (when it arrives!!! I'm at week 7 plus I paid extra for
Expidited shipping!)

Blue looks very nice with this green, more so the sane blue on the Rotora's.

I whipped up some Rotora blue! BTW the color is reallly nice.
What do you guys think? Cage?

green and blue are at least on the same end of the color spectrum and will look great with the black.
the gold could be a nice contrast. your call, brotha.

I wanted to keep as much interior as possible.... But as this "thing" keeps "Evolving" I find myself further away from reality and practicality! Lol

The gold would look nice , then the brakes and power braces would have to fallow. For unification!

Fu€k listen to me, I've lost it....

What other color would look nice?

The weather is nice the roads are warm. Rain would play a factor. Honestly how often do u feel the ABS kick in? Do you drive it that hard? Stock wheels/ tires? Suspension? Things you have to consider.

Myself on the other hand will drive this car in only the nicest weather (too much into it to do otherwise), I'm going with 18x10s on all corners with an aggressive tire. Suspension is a big plus to dig and stop.... And don't forget brakes, I'm running 14.7" 6 piston rotoras.

Deleation of the ABS on stock setup is NOT recommended, especially if you plan on driving in the rain!
Ok I'm sold on at least knowing how to get the abs deleted, cause you know what, I to drive my car in nice weather here in Hawaii, if it looks like it going to rain my eco doesn't come out of the garage, so my question to you is could you please tell me how to get rid of the abs system??? If you could pm me your shops number perhaps we could even tLk on the phone if that's ok with you??? Please let me know either way, also if you could tell me how to soder wires for extending wires to tuck them in the engine bay??? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome build! Definitely one of the top three builds I've seen on here (or anywhere really). I'd like to buy an VIII shell and go all out like this someday

As far as color suggestions go, I think a dark purple could look good with this green. Or maybe a blue darker than the Rotora blue shown above. I'm having a hard time picturing how that blue would look good, sorry.

Maybe something like this:

or this:


That second purple might be a bit much. Or I think silver or gray would look good too. I guess this also depends on what color/finish your wheels are going to be. Anyway, I suggest these colors because dark blue/purple is across the color spectrum from this type of green on the color wheel. And in some of the photos, it looks like the green has a silver or a blue/purple tint to it.

I just found this cool color selection tool check it out:
http://www.colorsontheweb.com/colorwizard.asp
I messed around with it until I got a green close to yours and it also suggested some purple colors.

Just some suggestions, haha. I'm sure it will look awesome with whatever color you choose.

Can't wait to see this thing finished! Maybe I missed it, but what wheels are you going with?
