That LSX badge looks great... subtle but righteous. :thumbsup:

Thanks Lance,

Ergos are damn good. Might have to mess with accelerator placement for heel toe action and shifter needs to go a hair to the passenger side, its awkwardly close to the driver but those are very minor adjustments if you ask me. Suprisingly good seating position and very comfortable.

I might have to look into a Borla, what muffler do you have on your car specifically?

You going to be around for the weekend of the 30th? Thinking of jamming down for Pleasanton Good Guys.

Thanks, you nailed it, subtle but righteous. =)

Dan the Hater????:confused59:

Well, one wheel showed up last night.....Hope for the other three today and of course I am out of town on work.

Tires show up today, hoping to test fit tomorrow night and get tires on later this week.

Crappy pics dont do the wheels justice. Matte black inner and outer barrels, matte metallic brown centers. Have caps just not installed in the pics.

Muffler is a Borla ProXS--best I've ever had. Mounting at the rear-most point in the exhaust stream seems to help some too, as does having a turbo, but whatever. My stupid hotrod muffler usage dates back to having early Flowmasters back in 1993 or so on a 400 Firebird. Age and annoyance have proven the Borla in my ears.

Send me a DM or PM or whatever they call it when you're going to be down here. I'm guessing I'll be around, which is pretty much the deal every day.

Wheels look nice--love the continuation of the color theme. They are slightly reminiscent of the stock wheels on my e39 . . .

Eggzachery, thank you. Good or bad I’ll tell ya what I think, especially if I’m asked. Thank sweet baby Jesus the hood didn’t get painted brown, just my opinion. :mock:

I’m feeling a bit like Oprah today, maybe it was the big lunch.

Dave, you get a 🖕🏼

Sean you get a 🖕🏼

Paul, feel free to correct my englishing.

:cheers:

I've got a single 4.5" Borla (not sure which one) and I love the sound it makes with the LS.

I have looked into the Borla but they only have an offset in and out, not sure I can make that work but its worth a shot.

I was really trying to stick with something that was not packing based but also need to get it all buttoned up too.

Back from out of town but have a jacked up finger now so not much is going to happen. Having a tough time even updating the build thread :wtf:

Received one more wheel on Tuesday night and it happened to be a front so I got the wheels all test fit on the car. Like a glove. It was a ton of work to get things all measured up but totally happy with that choice in the end.

For tires I was dead set on Rivals but upon further reading of them overheating on track days and getting greasy when hot I decided to go with the RE71R, Tires are at 503 awaiting the last wheels to show up.

Hope they arrive today as per my fedex updates.

Been trying to figure out a catch can with no luck. so I am tackling building one on my own that will be perfect shape and size for my needs, also no rad cap.

Still learning on the tig stuff, small cylindrical pieces are very hard still with filler, no problem on fusion like the outside weld.

This will tuck in behind the radiator support at the passenger headlight area and have a drain to ground if needed.

Sean

Sean, this car gets better with every update.

I liked the concept of the interior when you first mentioned it. Now that I see it all together I really think you have a hit. The whole car is very professional and sophisticated even though it's got a cage, big tires and LSx power.

The wheels look like a perfect match to the theme and take the interior to the outside. Way cool.

Wheels come in yet?

Thanks man, the compliments are much appreciated and yes I was shooting for the entire package, not just a ****ty car with a big engine in it.

...........:ups: Not yet. Should be delivered this afternoon from what the FedEx website says.

Very little work done last night but did manage to get my over flow all buttoned up.

The idea was for it to be tucked way back in behind the headlight and have a very clean look to it. I think I pulled it off pretty well. Shot it with some VHT Wrinkle black which is my go to for this kind of stuff it has proven to be very durable in the past.

Still waiting on the other 2 wheels to show up, hopefully today.

Sean

Very well. That is clean.
