At 23 years old, I am no doubt, a young gun in the lateral-g community. I know some of you have been wrenching on cars for twice as long as I have been alive! So I know, I'm a boy in a man's hobby. But, I'm too busy working on my car to care! I'm cutting my teeth on my first teardown and buildup.
I've been postponing to introduce my project for a while now; I wanted to make sure I had the guts to take the plunge into the money-pit that is pro-touring. However, If you're looking for a high-dollar, frame-off restification, you've come to the wrong place. Besides not having the money, I really don't have the patience or the desire for a 100 point showtouring car. I'm a battle-scar, rock chip kinda guy, and I hope my car will reflect that. I think the name TRACKDAY suits it well, as I truly intend to rip this car up on the track.
As for the buildup, I hope I have the patience to take things slow and not take shortcuts. Yet, I also hope I have the self-control not to get caught up in the hype of having latest and greatest. I also have a "No Bling" rule (although I think I'll make an exception on those carbon fiber spoilers....mmm).
I'm currently installing the following:
Global West Solid body / subframe bushings
Full Global West Suspension, Hotchkis front swaybar.
ATS tall spindles.
Tyler at ATS has been great getting all this stuff to me
Up next:
C5 brake kit from kore3
Well, stay tuned as I slowly and steadily make this car worthy of its namesake:
Thanks!
Steven
P.S. I've been taking plenty of hi-res pictures of my build, so if anyone ever needs any reference pictures, don't hesitate to ask me. Just don't ask me how to put a car together, I suck at it!
