2007 Ls13 progress

[Mike Peters]

bored and proud at the same time. so making threadz on internets.

I'm planning on debuting the car for 2007 at D1 this weekend or Formula D Atlanta as far as big events. Got tired of last year having a ghetto pos that broke at every event even thought it was always broken to being with, making whatever adjective would best describe more broken, which is either brokenner, more broken, or jankalicious.

Anyways, here is an update of whats going on with the car and stuff, as I occassionally have people asking me, and since this year I'm not rushing everything, and job+family+selling stuff that I've had forever has so far equivacated to decent car build.

New stuff:
Painless harnesses, no more wiring problems sweet switchpanel
Chris Tyler/Jason Murphy/Mikespeed/ XAT Racing Ls1 mounting kit
Mikespeed guage cluster with Equus gauges
18'' foose nitrous all the way around
Dunlop DZ101 demo tires, Sport max for competitions.
Lea Anne Powell aka Girlspeed Inc/AIT Racing LS13 hood
Addition of more nuts/bolts that werent there before...ummm


Coming next week
Drive Shaft Shop driveshaft
ZOOM twin plate clutch
XAT Racing/Header Mike Ranlet/Mikespeed/Chris Tyler Headers which do not require removal of steering rack to add/remove header, as featured with the XAT Racing LS1 swap package
Flowmaster Super 40 dual 3'' Exhaust system with flamethrowers
New wheels
Bigger and better cooling system.
Spectre Performance Intake, fuel lines, dress up stuff.



Coming within the next few weeks
Re-installation of last years LS1, with a fresh build, with Linginfelter Cam/head goodies, more Magnuson boost, Formato tune.
New paint
New B Magic Aero kit & Widebody

More updates coming soon, maybe, but people keep asking so I thought now that progress had been made, I'd post some updates. Plus I'm able to actually take a little bit of pride in my car for once, so I kinda made a thread to show off the nifty doohickeys on my car this year.

[Toycoma]

I am loving the cluster.

[Slapshotnerd]

so are you going to make it to FD Atlanta? or no?

You going to have real headlights this year?

[gigglesnirt]

one of my favorite parts about this car was it was an all out competition beater, now thats being changed but atleast it will work well now. Go with the spotlights still those were badass, or even better mount some on the roof like a redneck bronco lol

[FireEmblem62]

Roof lights are made of win. Lookin good mike, Aluminum hood?

[Mike Peters]

hood is same hood from last year, but with an ait scoop girlfreind made, we needed something to protect the metal from rust and found some chrome spray paint so it looks cool.

i have real silvia lights, i had a pic of them on the car for pri but dont know where they went.

car will still have the ever living crap beat out of it, just wont break as much from ghettojankdonkiness
