With Columbus a week away the "Runt" is really coming together.. We received the CTS-V fuel pump today and are finishing the fab work on the fuel tank. We are using the Vapor Worx set up because of its proven reliability.. Once the tank is completed and bolted back in the car it will be time to hear it run...

Here is a pic of the underside of the car.. We are running 3" exhaust with Flowmaster 50 series mufflers.
We are in the final stretch and the car is going together well. We have made a few passes up and down the road to start shaking the bugs out.. All I can say is shes a pretty awesome machine!!!! Can't wait for Columbus! http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...t/DSC06432.jpg |

see yall there and good luck

Next year I'm going so I can hang out with all you guys and see this kind of stuff in person!

Well we made it to Columbus at 5 am Thursday morning.. Thursday night we decided if this car was going to compete for SMOTY it better be capable of taking A beating... After cruising around the fairgrounds we found a large empty parking lot and it was on! The car is unreal to drive! After feeling good about the thrashing we decided to drive it to the host hotel, again awesome for being fresh out of the box.. Curt ran a 33.6 on the autocross but had taken out 1 cone .. With a little tweaking this car is gonna be incredible! We received a top 5 pick which was awesome but what was even better than that is between burnouts and drift sessions we put over 200 miles on the car over the weekend and had a blast doing it.. The car sat outside at night and took us to dinner everynight.. She's no trailer queen show car!! Pics to come soon!

I have a 1st gen and have been getting design inspiration form your build for a year now. I just hoping you will bring it to Del Mar. Do you have a video of it on the Autocross? |
Awesome Car
Congrats on the top 5 pick. The car turned out awesome. It was good to see everyone again.Wiedo:thumbsup:
|
Fritz,
Great seeing you guys this weekend. I was really impressed with the car and how it performed. I knew Curt nailed a 33, but did not know about the cone. They didn't announce that over the PA. The Runt was my pick for SMOY. It all comes down to personal taste and this was closest to mine. The best part was seeing Gerry (sp?) driving it in the winners parade on Sunday. She was grinning from ear to ear and looked perfect in the car. Job well done! :thumbsup: |
I alternated T-shirts this weekend between my RPM one and my GoodGuys ones... that way I felt like I was a part of the action. :D
|
Very cool car guys. The sound and stance of that car is just awesome.
|
Here are some pics for the guys who couldn't make it to Columbus.. They were taken with the shop camera so forgive the quality.. Better ones coming soon! Here is the engine compartment.. We flat cleared a repeating R pattern on the inset parts of the panels.. It is a woman's car so think Coach purse pattern but we used the RPM R... Thanks to Brandy at Spectre for helping out with the air intake..

I was at this years show for a day and clicked away on this car.
Looked, sounded, and went quick to boot. Well done, different and well pulled together....congrats |
Very nice work! One of my favorite cars competing for SMOTY!
|
Thanks for all the compliments.. We are loading up the car and heading to the Heidts Performance Car Challenge this weekend.. Time to shake it down on the big track and play with the set up a little.. It would be cool to see a few other SMOTY competitors show up to play.. :thumbsup:
|
Awesome car - Simply awesome
plus it sounded bad as all get out |
Last night we rented the skid pad at Beaverun, our local track to do a little testing.. Josh drove the Runt out, I drove the Camaro out and Curt took the Hauler so we had tools and an air compressor if needed.. Once there we all took turns driving and comparing both cars.. After tweaking the set up on the Runt a little the car really felt awesome.. The car is very easy to drive! Here are some pics..

Man, I love that little car! The fact that it always seems to have brake dust covering the rims makes it that much more awesome! I've been telling people here, who didn't go to Goodguys, there's nothing like seeing people beat the hell out of big-buck toys! :thumbsup:
|
I remember my folks buying a new one back in '63, but this ones better. ;)
Great build, great name. :thumbsup: |
Super cool engine and killer stance :bow:
|
Brake dust all over the wheels..... beating the snot out of a wicked awesome "show car".....I love these guys!!!!
I can't wait to meet you guys and see the "Runt" in person this weekend at the Heidt's event at Autobahn C.C. :unibrow: |
