Nice work reminds me of the VW's I used to do, sounds like alot of shaving and tucking, no abs, no ps, but 600whp? NASA show car?

whats wrong with having a super clean 400-500awhp engine bay AND have it be your daily driver? :confused:[/quote]

Race car! With nice parts to make it look nice.
There is nothing about this engine bay that will not scream fast. Seriously, its built to be badass at everything. Looks, jdm, hellaflush, low, and fast. REAL fast.

Thats hot, what classes do you plan on competing in? Lots of NASA classes, and events on that side of the country. Been a few years since trucking has taken me that far east, nice place tho lots of sweet tracks.

You need to snap more pics of this thing! Please?
Is that metal filler (welding), or bondo?

They made metal plates for each side of the engine bay. All the recessed bumps were cut out and re-welded in, all holes were first welded. The body filler is just to smooth the final welds and body work, not used as a filler.
No more pics. I'm keeping the rest secret, just thought this was a good teaser.

An ABS tuck would have been redic, but you just yanked the whole thing out! Looking forward to seeing the final results.
Way to think outside the standard NASIOC box.

As you can see, it's alot of work. First welding all the holes, getting rid of the bumps, brackets, battery tray, all that stuff. Then doing body work, smoothing with body filler, sanding, etc. Making sure it's smooth and not odd shaped is probably the hardest...
Good thing it's getting done by a professional that builds hot-rods and custom cars.

Jeff, if you're keeping the car gold, paint the bay gold again. I would definately re-do the body work on the bay. I think Danny did a terrible job as it looks sloppy and not smooth. You're a DIY'er, im sure you could handle it in a week or so. Get rid of those bumps and holes, smooth everything out, etc.
I would get rid of the boost selonoid on the passenger shock tower, relocate it somewhere. Maybe a reverse mount pedal assembly to delete the brake boost and master cylinders. They're soooo expensive though!

I don't want to drop $$$ on painting the whole car, and the exterior of the car is great. Danny didn't remove the engine when they painted it so thats why it looks that way in certain places and why its white behind the turbo. The wheel arches and Shock towers look great in person its all the tight and buried places that look sloppy.
If I had the money to burn I would do it all over I would ditch the Cwest front bumper and sideskirts. Paint it white, Stock front bumper with fog covers/Lip and a rear diffuser.
Im a DIY for mechanical stuff, but automotive painting scares me haha :D

the only way to do a PROPER tuck is to run a wire in standalone like an autronic or motec. the stock harness can only be tucked so much. and having fuses in the fender, while it looks "good", what good is it if you blow a fuse?

The fuse box will be fully functional in the fender. We will have it mounted and water proofed so that I can access it by pulling the fender liner back, or by taking off the wheel. No biggie, i've never blown a fuse ever.
I went with what could make me the most power and was easiest to tune, and that's Hydra v2.6
haha thx Ev! You will need a pretty big snail, I already told you.
Plus you gotta make up for all those other times I smoked you after school. Why don't you tell people on here about how I actually drive the car? To school, mall, going out, etc....
[QUOTE=mannslayer;25398205]the only way to do a PROPER tuck is to run a wire in standalone like an autronic or motec. the stock harness can only be tucked so much. and having fuses in the fender, while it looks "good", what good is it if you blow a fuse?
function > form.[/QUOTE]
The fuse box will be fully functional in the fender. We will have it mounted and water proofed so that I can access it by pulling the fender liner back, or by taking off the wheel. No biggie, i've never blown a fuse ever.
I went with what could make me the most power and was easiest to tune, and that's Hydra v2.6

You used to.... Now it sits in the garage!! lol wink wink. I'm not worried about handing you a big bottle of whoop ass tho... Plus, if it looked like you could win, I'd just short something and blow your fuses... Then what:p:diaf:

you **** is comming along nice D! i wish i had your sponsors :(
| Angry Toaster | 01-31-2009 01:35 AM |
I'm sure it's going to look nice. D has a good eye for detail.
The "tucked" look of a real race prepped car is just a byproduct of not needing all that [I]extra[/I] stuff. The only major caveat of D's build is removing the power steering. If this car is going on any track that isn't a straight line, it's going to need power steering.
Keep up the good work.

THX bro! I actually can still keep the powersteering and still make it look nice. We can re-locate it with a custom aluminum box and run braided power steering lines. I think I may keep it. I wish I lived in cali because I would delete the heater and **** as well haha.

You can't re-locate the power steering pump though... You can do whatever with the reservoir, It's the pump that sucks.:furious:

is there any report of the bondo cracking/splitting due to stress?

that only happens from driving the car... considering his car is still down, I would say it hasnt had a chance to crack yet, but as long as you do thin layers you will be fine

I know I know. You can hardly even see the pump, no worries. Plus it's on top of the engine. To me, the resovior bothers me more because I wanted both sides cleaned up and nothing over there.
[QUOTE=altezza2impreza;25421159]is there any report of the bondo cracking/splitting due to stress?[/QUOTE]
I guess if you use cheap autozone body filler and that's ALL you use. Again this was all metal work and the body filler was applied very thin and just used to give it that smooth look.

I've been searching all day for an electric power steering pump so I can remote that bish too...

:lol: comparing hydra to the likes of autronic and motec... their not even in the same league. you've got the best of everything, why skimp on engine control?
unless you're sponsored by hydra or one of their suppliers it doesnt seem too late to make a switch, and it doesnt seem like cash is much of an issue. you'll have much better engine management and a much cleaner engine bay.
heck you could even run real antilag and flip it on when u roll into those aggressive wheel meets :banana:

D -
did you ever look into the pros/cons of having sheet metal or aluminum "covers" made and then welded in over the existing panels?
then it would be "perfect" w/ no filler.
just curious. I have no actual practical experience w/ this, and I am not going to pretend to be an internet expert.
but it strikes me as a viable option.
