Convette Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Polaris, I still got them, just need to finish them. Like all of my projects. Lol thanks for the offers, I do have a vinyl cutter at work so I could cut out whatever, I was just asking if someone had extras laying around. Also Phil, what spring rates are you running in the rear? I'm going to see if I can get a softer set for drag racing from d2. My car is setup to spin, both 1st and 2nd are kinda worthless...lol. Hopefully going to get work done today, paint and bumper fab. Edited February 16, 2013 by Convette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks guys. I will def have video if its allowed, cant see why not. Been working on this as much as possible this week, a few hours a night. Got it almost done, still need some more tabs and maybe another cross bar. Right now I'm at 15lbs which kinda was my target, the last one was the same, and I dont want to add any weight. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/20130221_184714_zps7f38c29c.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuze Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Damn celebrity! All that work is paying off big time man, you have the most well known Satrion out right now. Congrats dude, I hope you do well.So you planning on an LS cam upgrade for some easy power? You can pick up a good amount with springs and a cam, and a good tune. A set of D2's would allow the adjustability to adapt the car to the different tests, I bet you could get sponsored for a set man, it's worth a try. Whatever happens, you're going to be getting a ton of coverage that's for sure. Edited February 22, 2013 by Fuze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 That's man. Lol. I'm looking into a cam, def getting a tune after I finish the exhaust work. I did get a partial sponsorship from D2, they built me a custom set of race coilovers. Should be fine on the track, but might be a little stiff for drag. Lots of work to do still, should have the bumper done and powder coated tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieJ Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Did you get your tires yet? They goofed on ours so we should have em Monday now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Nice, I've always liked reading the USCC's. Watch out for water trucks!! A well balanced car is the pinnacle of fun and enjoyment as opposed to a drag specific car, and that's what makes the USCC one of the coolest tests out there. Good luck and make sure you put a good hurtin' on lesser machines. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Still haven't recieved my tires yet either. Going to have to whor out my fenders to fit 285's now cause they dont have the 275s I wanted. Been busting my as for this thing, so much to do still. I will make a bigger update later.

Convette Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) right on man. I'm going to do what I got to do to make them fit, they finally came in today. ugh so much work going into this, made brake ducts and am still working on my new exhaust system.http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/20130303_115827_zps81199b60.jpgrotated, redriled, and chopped uphttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/20130303_115819_zpsf4f1a2ca.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/20130303_122342_zps5194fddc.jpgpowdercoatedhttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/20130303_134150_zpsa338b202.jpg got my bumper done also, just been after a bunch of little things. Now I can take the whole front of the car off with 4 bolts and 2 zip ties. Trying to get it ready for the dyno tuner on friday.http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/20130301_165617_zps637722f2.jpgSure wish i could just "order" parts and bolt them on. Whole different ball game with this car. Trying to get my aero work done aswell.. ugh so much to do, so little time.

dmyers151 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 any chance you would build another one of those tubular bumper I'd be interested in just a dimensioned drawing or even pictures from multiple angles. I bet you saved 20+ lbs there, between the bumper support structure and foam crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I doubt I will build them, but I can give all the pics anyone needs. My car is a little out of wack so it prolly only works well on my car. However, I'm not sure on the weight of a stock bumper because mine was super cut up from rust and a big front mount. This weighs roughly 15lbs its DOM 1.5". Its nice cause my bumper no longer sags at the ends.. I always hated that. I still use the foam though, that doesnt really weight anything.
