Here are a few pictures of the motor, I'm speaking with Tom Argue (He did a lot of work on "Evade") about doing my DSE close out in carbon fiber and relocating the coils off of the valve covers. I think a little more carbon is needed to set off the motor compartment and moving the coils will definitely clean things up under the hood :unibrow: Also getting the car ready for the spring show in daytona this weekend :D

Looks very clean, glad you painted the Fast intake black. Looks alot better.

Evil. :thumbsup:

Looks great Chris!!! :thumbsup:

I'd mount the coils on the firewall to the left of the engine to help balance the look of the engine bay if that's possible. Maybe have them make up a carbon fiber panel to mount them too. Just my $.02...

So I took the car to a local chevy dealership today where they were hosting a Chip Foose/Overhaulin car show. There were a lot more cars there than I expected, I pulled in and they were already full so the guy had me pull right up front, thought that was pretty cool :D The car show was good, lots of people (for a tuesday afternoon) and some pretty cool cars. So then I'm driving home, stop by my office and as I'm leaving the clutch pedal feels funny, but I keep driving, get to a traffic light about a mile away and the clutch pedal goes to the floor :_paranoid The threaded rod that connects to the back of the clutch pedal bracket sheared in half :rolleyes: Guess thats the fun thing about our cars, there's always something to fix, even it is brand new stuff.

The mods never stop. :D

Good timing though, beats having it go pulling up to the dealership. :thumbsup:

Cheis the black intake makjes a big difference. I like it better that way. The engine bay looks awesome. You did a great job. everything came out great.

cdushane 03-24-2011 06:40 AM

Got the new slave cylinder fixed yesterday, put in some new plugs and she's all loaded up ready for the show in Daytona this weekend :D

Yes, the FAST intake looks much better painted black, it really finished off the motor compartment.

Tom, sent you a PM.

Just ran across this thread. What a great looking car!!! Great idea with the wheels. I wish I had thought of something along those lines. I wanted to incorporate black into my wheels, but just couldn't put my finger on what I wanted. Your car looks great.

radrambler 03-25-2011 10:53 AM

A lot of people thought I was crazy when I ordered the wheels that way but it has honestly been one of the first things people go to and gawk over!
