Bullet Proofing the drive train & finishing race prep / tech inspection

Hey how's it going everyone? I hope all your holidays were filled with love and joy! Sorry Its been so long sense i came at you guys with an update iv just been busy with the holidays and trying to get a game plan worked out for the car.  

So friday morning I had the car towed up to WORKS (the shop that's sponsoring me) to get the ball rolling for the season! The plan is that the shop said they were gonna try and have the tranny out and shipped by Monday afternoon if everything goes as planned.  Once they ship the transmission it will probably be about a week before the builder will receive it.  Once they receive it they said it should take them about another 5-10 days to fully rebuild it and then they will ship it back.   

Things are moving along smoothly for the most part, but for now were just waiting for the tranny to get pulled and shipped and then the ball should really start rolling!

I talked to WORKS yesterday and they know when the car needs to be done and setup by for the first race so were shooting to have the car done and back together before the end of the month to shake down any bugs it might still have before the race.  Being that the car will be up there for nearly a month immobilized, WORKS hooked me up with a screaming deal on the remaining suspension components I still need to bolt up.  So while they have the car there all stripped apart they're going to;

- Swap out the front and rear sway bars with heavy duty RM Racing sway bars

- Install Energy Racings full suspension polyurethane bushing kit around the whole car to give the car a more controlled rigid chassis.

- Install custom Heavy duty Avid Aluminum polyurethane motor mounts for hard engine braking.

- They're going to pull out the air conditioning unit, Cruise Control, and any other unnecessary  components under the hood.

- Swap in a new power steering pump

- Once they receive the tranny back and put the car all back together they are going to put it on the corner balancing scales and do a real aggressive race suspension setup to prep it for the track in February!

- When the Car is all complete and put back together they are going to throw it on the dyno to finish tweaking in the tune with the new Tranny and get some accurate numbers to log down. 

There will still be a few minors things to do for the car to be completely finished but for the most part by February it should make its complete transformation from a serious street machine to a fully built beast of a race car!

The last thing left to finish will now only be the roll cage and the car will be %100 ready to rock!

Iv been talking with a few people as well on what the best way to build my controls will be but for now I'm just going to run the current setup I have installed with a modified shifter.

This is just a brief update, but I'll keep you guys posted with more of the details as things progress over the month.  Thanks everybody for all your support, encouragement, and help and a huge special thanks to all those that have helped me to get where I am today.!

Stay tuned and I'll have some more info coming your way next week!

Thank you again for reading and God Bless!
