Looks very nice. I do love the carbon front half of the car. Hope to see this flying at the track this year

[SlowWhite]

Absolutely unreal that car is gorgeous

First off, thanks guys! This is going to be a building year for me, with so many changes.

The new chassis work is almost done. I had a problem with trim with the carbonetics fenders, the factory trim would not work. (Even with significant mods)



I learned that I needed to use Eclipse rear trim to eliminate the the eagle talon side/rocker trim. So fast forward, I removed the trim and it uncovered a rust spot on the passenger side and a big dent on the drivers side. I patched in new steel on the passenger side. This sucked, and was a good for me to learn body work...i also patched the holes for the trim mounting locations.









What is crazy is this was all done with custom paint mixed and 2k clear cost aerosol cans!

I also cutout the intercooler opening, I was unwilling to keep the front end closed off after research on the benefit. I built air guides on the intercooler to match the bumper profile.







Super pumped to get this project wrapped up and get it down the track!

Just noticed your hood pins. I was thinking about doing those for various pieces on my car.

What are your thought so far about them. Granted your using them to hold your hood, so that definetly says something by itself at the speeds you run.

You and Troy are killing it this season Mark, looking forward to seeing you guys at the track this year!

[DSMINMN]

Siiiiick stuff!

[A//// Guy]

So So Nice! Amazing work!

Had a good time this week with the dyno session and at the drag strip tuning before the Maperformance Proving Grounds the weekend of the 14th. Map's dyno was not reading my ignition, so unfortunately no published HP numbers. First pass off the trailer and ran very good for the new setup!

Show gets real rowdy past the 60ft oh my! The cage turned out beautiful by the way....nice seeing you surrounded by it!

[Dark2g]

Very nice bud!! That was a solid pass for right off the trailer. I will stop and say hi at pg, I didn’t register for as much so I should have some time to screw around. You gonna be up there on Friday I am assuming?

[Halon]

Badass!

[Murlo26]

So is that a new record right off the trailer on the new setup for you? Or is your signature out of date?

Either way, awesome job, the car looked like it was hooking well.

[Mark Leasure]

Thanks guys!

Yep, new personal record for me on the first pass out! PG2 should be a good for more records too! I'm turning the boost up and I'll chop the 60 down too.
