I did some touchup on your first picture so everyone else knows what is going on

Is that the beta version of photoshop you have there? Look like you still use DOS. lol

i hear rumors.....

And what might these rumors be? I've had a hunch all along that D will be doing something to my car that he has failed to mention to me. Maybe its supposed to be a surprise? If so don't tell me. All I know is that I had to source a complete E36 M3 front suspension for him.

thanks, lol. I was joking about he m3 front suspension, although we did discuss it. Its just out of my budget right now, as is the mid engine conversion we also discussed. The rally car may just end up with the m3 front suspension and mid mounted 20vt, just sayin.

And since I posted that pic the rest of the driver side frame/inner fender has been completely cut off.

Also worth mentioning, speeding-g60 posted a picture of himself touching my car after D finished cutting the front end off. Very cool.

Derek didnt want to be involved in the "lesser appropriate" photography

i didnt even notice the photo-bomb creeper at first, either.

Looks like 50 50 weight distribution at this point

Pretty much. Dan, you should do the same thing to your s4, Its what all the cool kids are doing these days.

If I had a bro in law like you I'd be all over it!

Keep up with the pictures, love seeing what becomes especially since we don't really know what D has up his sleeve.

Can't wait to see what this becomes!

Me too! apparently I don't even know what exactly is going on lol

speeding-g60 · Post by **speeding-g60** » Mon Apr 21, 2014 9:21 pm

i saw more pictures.... and someone even stopped in at the race car shop i am building the new car at for some material

and, i know some stuff, but i am not at liberty to discuss it in a public venue over the internet where anyone may happen upon the information and attempt to use it against the people whose intellectual property it is.

you know, as he sat there, he said something along the lines of "this doesnt look like too much work......" or something to that effect anyhow. and the weirdest thing, i have misplaced the cad drawings for the basic chassis somewhere. i know it was right there by the car on the shelf earlier :idunno:

40v4kq · Post by **40v4kq** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:48 pm

LOL. D doesn't have that much time, and I don't have that much money

We will just have to swap cars for a stroll down the block and back just so I can feel what my car could be like. I promise not to literally go around the block in your unregistered no-street-legal race car like a certain somebody did

40v4kq · Post by **40v4kq** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 7:49 pm

PS, looks like D is imitating me when I ride with him. lol

speeding-g60 · Post by **speeding-g60** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 11:05 pm

so yeah. i was cringing as he maxxed 2nd gear out down the street.... literally shrinking inside.

BUT, this same madman wants, and is actually PUSHING me to register the new car. being as how it has a street legal (30 x 13.50 inch wide AKA 315/60-15) DOT tire on it an all..... wouldnt be too awfully hard i guess. rig up a momentary switch for blinkers, would be manual like a power window switch mounted sideways and have to push it many times to produce a signal, etc. its gonna have park lites and brakes anyhow. headlights? i suppose i could make something happen.....

gonna run it at the street tire class races hahahaha

but i heard another little snippet of plotting for yours. and this tidbit is sooo good i cannot/willnot share it. but i do have another hint totally unrelated to this aforementioned snippet of info. some NASCAR type something or other..... that is a hint of the UNRELATED tidbit of info.
