My Build Thread LS1/FD Its Fast!

Glad you are getting rid of the chrome wheels. I’m not sure if I missed this, but are you getting new seats? Those tan ones stick out like sore thumbs from the rest of the car.

I love the seats and have no desire to change them. I want them to stick out I do not want a boring just like everyone else car. Also in person it does not stick out…it looks dope.

Still no brakes :frowning:

Lowered the rear about 1/2" :slight_smile: Also I figured out what color i am painting the wheels for now and it is like a gunmetalish color. I painted a few diff colors and it is the one I like so thats what its getting.

That sucks I’m glad my neighbor has a straight piped viper. Car is looking great!

Wassup with the brakes? Pretty simple enough…

LOL I am not sure on the brakes. Master might be shot I will have to order one Monday. I looked again and didn’t find any leaks. Shit pisses me off though I was bleeding the rears again last night and everything felt great. It was holding pressure fine, seemed good to go. Then when I did the fronts now the pedal goes to the floor. YAY

My neighbor fucking blows. Who gets all pissed at 5pm on a saturday.

Looks dope as fuck drew.

So maybe it wasn’t the buffalo trace engineering that caused brake failure lol

Yeah this car is just one BS thing after another. I just want to be able to start driving it. Then I will feel better about working on it.

Yah, my list of things to do is outrageous…try to take care of a few this weekend…

I like both sets of wheels, You should try some 245s in front… You’ll get a little bit of stretch and they should fit fine. Or moar negative camber!!!

There’s no way in shit a 265 in the front fits good on these cars lol

I think the 265 will fit fine. I actually will try to make a 275 fit. It is hardly rubbing and I have the camber at 0 right now. I am going to paint the other wheels this week sometime(assuming i figure out the brake issue) and try them again with some camber.

Ordered a new brake master cylinder this morning. :frowning:

I have bled them a million times. If the master does not do it then I guess I will have to order an abs delete. This is not one of the issues I saw coming.

On a side note I drove the car around the block yesterday. The brakes work fine with like one pump. Car drove pretty good but there are a few things i need to work out still but the car is getting close.

Some way or another, you’re getting air in the lines. Sucks that it comes down to trial and error sometimes. It is a simple system though, you’ll get it.

Yeah this is pretty aggravating seeing as the car is ready to go then this popped up. Oh well I guess. I have checked EVERYWHERE for leaks. So I have basically decided to try the master, then abs delete, then I will cry if neither fixes it lol. I have about a days worth of work to finish the interior still to make that 100% so I will do that in a few days, maybe this weekend. Then I have a bunch of wiring left for nitrous stuff mostly. Car is just about done. Few small things to work out. Then it is off to choko to fix a few things I dinged up then off to get tuned. Realistically I hope to have the car 100% in about two months. I am just so busy with other stuff. FUUUUUUUU CAR!!!

But just getting it out of the garage and driving it for a few minutes made me really happy last night. <3

it sounded dirt NASTY.

Heaters.

Well we didn’t get any further on the FD, but i didn’t convince Drew to get his euro on. M5 SLAMMAGE!!! :wink:

Rear looks too low…other than that, looks good.

Too low, looks bad. Bring it up and make it look appropriate.

Nope. Shits dope.

It is just the angles. I did all four corners to 24.5" all are right at it. Look at this pic you can see the fender in the front is covering about the same amount of tire. I <3 this pic.

I would like to note that the car does not rub. Not at all. Full tank of gas and three people in the car tested it today. If it were to rub at all I would bring it back up as I am not into that.

Also IanK I finally washed it today if you want to go take better pics. Thanks again man.

We’ll get plenty on sunday brother.

I have to make sure I get a boatload of hw done in the next few days so i can make it Sunday. FML

dude drew youre so euro
