NChoy Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Well, for the most part the car is done (is it really ever "done"?)Anyway, for some of the finished "public" pics, go here: http://www.v70r.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21249&hl=Coming soon:- TurboTuner ECU from CJ (any day now he says)- Motor break-in period (about half-way... hardly ever drive the car so it's taking a while)- Dyno tuning (as soon as the first two points are done)- Heico pedal set (coming soon... Ford Motorsport pedal set will go on my 142 project)- CNC machined lower shock mounts for rear (Ben Kaplan to send to me when he finally gets them)- Mandrel bent upper turbo hose (IPD to help me with this)- Rear Porsche BBK w/S60R rotors (need brackets and calipers)- Custom Evolve grille (patience... patience)- Custom paint scheme (still on the fence on this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should organize a group buy?The custom paint scheme I'm thinking of involves some sort of black on the hood, blending in with the grille, along the "hump" on the hood.

EVL WAGN Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Nothing would make me happier then to replace my hood with a c/f version. Almost got my hands on one this year, but the dude wouldn't sell it!If someone wants to load up a group buy...I'm in like Flin!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVL WAGN Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I thought Gemini bailed out and folded up? I wouldn't cry foul at all...I'm a fan of the hood vents - looks and functionality!If Gemini is still open...I'M IN DUDE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVL WAGN Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 problem solved http://www.rvinyl.com/film/carbonfibervinyl.htmummmm...how about no! Smartass!!!gemeni is long gone. or anyway i'm not giving them 5 dollars either way.the thing to do is get willy from carbon fiber works involved but i don't trust shipping hoods across the world. having a comma doesn't scare me if its good quality and i have some time to get it paid off.I've dropped more then a few subtle and not so subtle hints on the VS board already. Not one single reply from him about the possibility of getting them made. I might try contacting Fiber Images in the States. They made the hoods that we used to sell for the Honda crowd and they were great quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
