Thx GW! That's what, the first three road course days? :cheers:

Looking good there sir!

Congrats Ronnie! Can't wait to see some non-incriminating video action. :thumbsup:

Glad to hear you've got the tune dialed in. I got some tips from Mike Norris when I was planning my build... Great guy.

The engine compartment looks real good. I sure like the looks of the aluminum radiator close out panel... I might try to make something similar if you don't mind.

:cheers:

Looks killer Ron! Congrats Buddy!!

Same here! Man that thing is bad azz! :headspin:

Looks awesome buddy! Shine her up and get a real camera!!!

Thanks Toddski. Keys are yours if you show up at an event :D

Hey Greg! I'd love to see you over here. Not sure I'll take my car up there (yet), but I'm down for a meet ... or Bondurant? :idea:

Ron it looks spectacular !! I'm lovin it !!!

Cool deal RON , glad to see some complete pictures, you must be jumping of joy but what are going to do now that you don't have a project ?

Are you new here:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Car looks awesome Ron congrats..NOW come get some of that Lil white truck!!:stirthepot:

:gitrdun: Ron! Yeah buddy.

Why, so you have at least one guaranteed person to finish ahead of? :tv_happy:

Now that's what I am talking about. :stirthepot:

Congrats!
 

Thought you were going to drive it without interior for a while?

Perfect Ron,thats all you can say about it:king:

Payton ---- He's worn out two Home Depot buckets in the last 10 years of this build.... don't ya think it about time to sit on some leather and foam??


LOL

Thx Mario! :cheers:

Wait till Rob gets ahold of this :lol:

I'm coming to your house Frankie to learn how to weld! :weld:


Thx Dog. NOW you go get some of that aluminum Jerico! :D

Thx Davey! Beer :goggles:

I was Payton, but the shop had an opening and I decided to not corner weight/align twice.

Thx Jeff, (taking a page outta your book:) Now where's your update? :cheers:

Doesn't everyone build their car at Home Deep?

Ron,

The internet was buzzing with rumors today that DP definitely didn't suck.

I see the algore-ites were right.



:D

Looks great Ron! No doubt you have to be stoked!

Hahaha, that's funny. You thought Ron only had two Home Depot buckets? I heard that he changes buckets as often as he does wheels.

I bought some buckets from him that were brand new and hadn't been "installed" in his car. Then I turned around and sold them too.

She's looking really good Ron.
Nice stance. :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: :cheers:

Holy crap! How did I miss an update to this thread? It must have been going on so long that my subscription ran out.

Now that the engine is tuned up the excuses are running out for the lack of a burnout video.

Meanwhile, this Prius is kicking your butt!

Damnit
 

That PRIUS got NOS on it lol great Vid :lol:

Pretty exciting thread.... with the Prius and all.... :sieg:

Should get more exciting soon. I think Ron is quite because he is trying to build up suspense.

*hint* his car left BOS on Monday.

Thanks fellas :thumbsup:

No burnout vids. I know that's how you gun toten Wisconsin boys roll, but I'm saving my tires for trackdays. :D :cheers:

What Prius? Too busy partying in So Beach to update my thread :lol:

Thanks Matt!

Yep, the car is off to interior. We have a somewhat sparse, but nice plan. Fits the car I think :sieg:

MIke Norris showed up at the shop and gave it a good four hours of tuning. He thinks it's 98% until it goes to the dyno for a little under the curve and top end refinement. I feel pretty comfortable it's where it needs to be for break in and early track days. I got a good laugh out out of a couple of his comments:

"She's a real head turner"
"Just a little light on power under 2500"

I know what he meant and totally trust and respect his opinion, but man the car feels lke '650hp/prepare for flight.' :lol:

More to come when I get back in town :cheers:

Even when it's all done (IF EVER) the Prius will still probably win -- and I've seen 'em run BACKWARDS on the AutoX cross - faster than this one might be able do it going forward....


Let's hope it turns out to be more reliable than a couple built "professionally" that I can think of.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

More reliable than at least one (red) car :lol:

EGG SACK LEE!

That's what Cheap/worn tires are for! :snapout:

With the numerous sets of wheels that I've heard you went through with this project I find it hard to believe you don't have some "mock-up" tires around to destroy. :shakehead:

Anyone near Ron have a set of junky tires to loan him for the burnout vid?

Glad you spoke up instead of me! I ride him like a bad donkey.... But I love him like a brother...


Having said that.... I think he might just be afraid of the car.... What do you other fellers think?? :>)
