Hey Bud! we need UPDATES! Don't be holding out on us. Remember we know where you live, LOL Now andale with the updates :popcorn2:

Cris@JCG 06-19-2014 07:42 AM

The car has been put out in the pasture! :lol:

Got all the interior out of the car, getting a mold for the dash to CF parts, moving around stuff towards the middle of the car & maintain it low, yanking out the stuff we don't need to lower the weight of the car, Trunk is in mold process to get CF trunk, got a new motor stitting on the engine stand, brake ducts front & rear, adding a power brake booster, & one major change that will not only lower th weight of the car but enhance it.. but that one I will keep under wraps till I test & proof that it works..

Karl would have been smarter to have just bought the Empire State Building

Cris@JCG 06-19-2014 08:10 AM

Hey Chris, thanks for the update, that's Awesome! Can't wait to see more. Blu Balz just keeps getting better and better!

love this car

Jr 06-19-2014 09:29 PM

Cris,
What booster with quick master cylinder? Also, how big are the brakes? I assume 14-13 inch up front with 6 piston calipers and 13" with 4 piston calipers in the rear...

Cris@JCG 08-24-2014 10:43 AM

I found this image today on one of the last test we did on Blu.. Brian Hobaugh in the hot seat & JJ Furillo from JRI shocks in the pass side.. After this test in Dec 2013 a decision was made to make some major changes.. Blu 2.0 is in the works & will share info as the new prototype pcs are made..

Car is on diet!

What's the "diet" consist of??? Making Karls wallet slimmer??

Cris@JCG 11-20-2014 07:42 AM

Car has been sitting.. With USCA running of the Challenger & Karl's C5 the time & efforts has been spent on those two cars.. All can right now is that the car will be loaded on a frame jig in a few weeks & the re-work will begin..

It consists of two people working together to build the best car that suits our needs.. If Karl wants his car lighter.. Then that is what I will do..

Lets put it this way.. Lighter is faster.. & if you lost.. oh about 25 pounds that Mustang you race would thank you.. Just saying! :underchair:

LOL — did you notice the dates on this?? 2015....

The car was finished — and then completely redone — so now cost roughly twice as much.... LOL


I can make fun of this because I’ve got some that might be even worse cost overruns.

WSSix 12-16-2018 05:18 PM
