Well, back in the garage today to install the hydra boost. Kick-ass piece, but a knuckle buster too :mad: Got all the lines run, assist module in place, etc. Threw a couple of the "supporting" pieces to see how it all works. Think we'll be fine.....

Weekend of July 8th I think? The 9th is a muscle car of the year deal. I'll be there Sat - Mon if you can make it....

'boost looks sweet. Is that a CF resi cover?

looks like it was hydro dipped.

Awesome! Cant wait to see it done! :hail:

Yes, its hydrocoated, see post #24.

:woot: damn hood fits!!! Thought for sure I had to go aftermarket....completely stoked as this saved me an easy grand and 6wks! Stays inline with my near stock appearing exterior....

Those are sweet looking. Good news on the hood fitting..

Way to go Brother. Big road block outta the way...:thumbsup:

I thought i read somewhere that you have to feed her ground up prius's from time to time, is this true? BEAST!!

Awesome Brent! Keep us posted on your build.

Wow, hard to believe its been a couple months since my last post here.

Progress continues...was slow during this period, but has picked up recently as I have been invited to SEMA as a display car for a local transport company. So I guess, now its pre-crunch to crunch time!

FINALLY worked out the remaining details in fasteners, fuel line/regulator plumbing, brake lines, etc.

Just rolled it from shop 1 to shop 2 today....a bit unplanned, but in all the recent moving around, had to haul it back to the body shop for some paint touch up's and some scratchin.

Great wheel choice/color as well Brent. Can't wait for this bad boy to be completed. I bet you are too! lol:cheers:

Nice Brent! Can't wait to see it at SEMA :cheers:

It looks Wicked! Nice work :hail:

I just want to hear this beast run. It must sound like God's heartbeat...

Thanks guys! Starting to see light at the end of a loooong 8yr tunnel.

Hoping this the last trip to the body shop for awhile....

Matt....here's a heartbeat for ya. Save yourself the pain of a 3min vid, skip to the 1:40 mark, grab a beer and turn up the volume....:D

Dyno Day!

Never before has a $500 pair of headphones paid off so well...

Couple post body shop updates and some finally assembly. Should be headed to the shop for initial start up, tune, a few adjustments and to make sure everything works this week. Sights still set on Vegas assuming all goes well. Didnt want to be torquing the last bolt as it goes on the trailer but will be close....:willy:

Good job Brent. Looks good.

Wow the car is looking killer! I can't wait to hear it run all tuned up. SWEET!

:sick: :lateral:

Thanks guys...confirmed shop date is tomorrow. Hoping for noise by Friday, but probably wont be until after the weekend. Getting sooooo close....:faint:


Yeah, right.....running nose compared to yours. Lol, if I'm "sick" you have the "plague" :lol:

Hope you get the chance to buy me that beer buddy :thumbsup:

You will not escape SEMA without a fair number of beverages even if I have to stalk you...:D

One step closer to SEMA!!!!

It's alive!!!!!!!

awesome!!!!!!

Music to my ears. Love the lope.:yes: :yes:

just curious if you have friends at KATECH why did you not have them build you a motor , although your motor sounds and looks KILLER

Thanks guys....gettin close. Still have to wrap up a few more mechanical things before I can start the detail portion, but can't wait to get it home!

Love the Katech guys. They were on the list, but were a little too conservative for what I wanted.

4 days til she hits the trailer for SEMA. Cleaned up the idle a little so it doesn't sound completely 'tarded. It starts, stops, shifts....lol, all good things :lol:

Engine bay is gettin close, few more boxes I have to check, a few more from the "support"....tint, vinyl wrap, etc. gonna be close....

Looks, sounds great brother! :cheers: Ahh...Vinyl wrap? :captain:

Thanx bud. Yeah, the wrap is just a little sponsor love :P

Sounds great Brent. :thumbsup:

Wow....its been a little while! So what appears to be a forgotten build, I thought I'd pop in here for an update. It would appear that after a looooooong battle of set backs in validating a first of its kind combo in a 4th gen, it may have surrended. Lol, and just in time to park if for the winter!

Winter "to-do" list includes some engine bay tweaks and some interior updates (if anyone has a Recaro contact, feel free to PM me! :whistling: )

FYI....driving 460" of ITB fed cubes that makes 600+ at the tire under 7k and stops on a dime with 10cents change is A LOT OF FUN!!!
