- Thread starter Coz
- Start date
.....starting to warm up to it......
Well, we're getting there...
Tomorrow we start a week long road trip to:
Uninstall the SC and install the turbo system.
Final fitting of the front bumper with pins and latches.
Final adjustments to the widewide body kit.
Wheels and tires.
Then back home and onto block sanding and paint...
Getting close
LOL already going turbo?
Already? We ran that blower for 3 track events... :tongue:
My Father should be back this weekend to update this thread.
I can't wait!
LOL I spoke to him last week. Sounds like it's going to be a fun ride.
Wow Coz, lookin good man:biggrin:
Thanks Brandon....Merry Christmas to you and the family brother...
Thats one hell of a build, seems like its moving along pretty swiftly though. Everything looks great, congrats Jim. What size wheels did you end up running? I saw the pics but didnt see the size anywhere.
Thanks !...It's been a labor of love
We are running 9" fronts and 11" rears X 18 with 245 & 285's...
Almost done

It's looking really good... that rear just looks mean!
Looking nice Coz!
The sides seem pretty busy to me, but if the vent and ducts are functional then I'm okay wth it. A darker colour will blend it all in nicely. Very exotic.
Love the wheel choice. The wing is essential for the look. You've got to remove the "acura" sticker off the center tail light piece too. Haha...like you don't have enough stuff to do already
Awesome.

Love the Butt:biggrin:
Interesting project. Best detail for me so far is the wat the front fenders come back to the door shut with that decent rear cooling vent.
Back end shut lines look well aligned already, color will amke or break the overall result ... what have you in mind (apologies if already covered earlier).
Nice work
regards, Paul

Thanks John..
I found the side ducts are very functional. I have an oil cooled inside the passenger side quarter panel vent. If I let the car idle for 20 minutes, my oil temp goes up to right at 172 and my water temp goes to 178.
As soon as I start crusing at say 40 mph, my oil temp comes down to 162 and the water temp holds steady. I push it and my oil temps come up to around 200. The air flow through the vent is incredable.
With the stock set up before the WB, oil ran at 186 crusing and 220+ when pushed. So I can tell it made a difference.
I actually have a set of tinted out tail lights that will be going on it after it's painted..
I will be glad when it's done....which is the driving force...

Paul,
I'm very satisfied how everything is coming together, almost like it was meant to happen this way. Everything aligned very well with minimal amount of work really.
We still will be adding NACA Ducts, rear quarter vents and rear bumper relief vents as well.
Color wise, I was going to paint it red. But after seeing it in it's sanding primer paint, I am really thinking about painting it Satin black and using a glossy red for some stripes and or design starting on the front bumper and working back through the hood into the sides. We are kicking around some idea's, colors and accents...
I really like how aggressive it looks black...But a gloss black is such a PIA to take care of....Satin Black might be nice.
