Build update:: well today I went to the shop to finish putting the front end on the car last week I had to install all the plumbing for the turbo setup an intercooler bolt on. Today after installing the front clip drove it around a bit it was pretty good but if I step on it a little I can hear the air sucking through the air filters I give it a little more gas then I hear a whistling noise. Don't know what that means good or bad.?
Should get the car back tomorrow they got to finish front alignment install Tire well covers and bottom plastic covers under the car.

Looks great. I like it a lot. The whistling is normal at full throttle with a lot of different types of cold air intakes. Stock one is to make it quite. I like the orange. And the grill is sweet. The splitter is amazing.

Thanks... actually that is Red but what do I know I'm color blind so I just go off of what the paint can saids LOL ..
I had other aftermarket cool air intakes before never heard one whistle like this I think there's a mouse inside the engine bay blowing a whistle that's what it sounds like to me. I will know in a couple weeks when I put the stock intake back on,,

It must be my laptop screen. Looks orangish red. Stupid laptop. Maybe put a scope in there with a camera and find the mouse. A mouse trap and some cheese might work :) Ya tell us the difference with the stock intake on, thanks.

Now I know why you're messing with me I just seen your video. That engine color is sick as **** very nice combo with a black.
Once we all get our cars going again I still have a few more things to do on mine which will take me about another month or so.
I would be down on Find a place to meet up so we can check out our vehicles and meet face-to-face and shoot the shit. this is something we should plan within the next 6 months.

Yes, I would love to have a central meet so people from both coasts can meet up. I would be down to host it as I have access to a large parking lot section where said meet could happen. Being from Missouri I am pretty central to the US region. Could possibly even get a drag event going, but that's down the line. I know there is enough people who would be interested in joining just when we will be able to freely travel and not have the nannies come down on us for having a gathering I am hopefully going to get something going!

That's what I'm talking about that's why I said about six months time for this covid shit to clear up. I love road trips I don't mind the drive..
More the better in my book looking forward to this..

Was browsing Instagram the other day and kept seeing those led fiber optic ambient lighting kits and found some on Amazon so I decided to buy it and try it out. I'm not 100% finished/happy with it because I messed up a few of the fiber optics but once I fix a few of my screw ups and I'll be satisfied. Here's a few before and after pics of my interior.

No I just wanted to see if it’s noticeable that you can see light strips during the day not having it on during the day so it’s basically The strip is clear and you will not see the color until you turn it on cool. I want to see red throughout the car but in a day I don’t want to see red strips throughout the car. Very cool

Today is such a nice day I came out and put my rain guards on the windows.. slowly getting there. I’m thinking about relocating the battery to trunk good idea or not?

I moved mine to the bumper area to keep the front weighed down. I don't really see much of a point in these cars in moving it to the rear as we aren't RWD based. Usually do that to help the weight distribution so the rear on RWD cars.

Yeah not moving the battery to the trunk for weight distribution I'm moving the battery to the trunk so I free up space where the battery sets. Another words a fuse box control panel that holds all the Aftermarket Wiring shit that's going on in the car.
Things I still need to complete on the car::

1) Install my pillar and pods 3 of them.
2) Finish installing and wiring up the Water/methanol kit.
3) Rewire the wires for all the lights around the car to the new fuse box panel.
4) Fix and install my tubes and airbox after California vehicle inspection with OEM airbox.
5) Relocate battery to trunk.
6) Install new custom exhaust system.
7) Finish installing camera system.
8) install the new seat covers.
So yeah I still have a few things I need to do.

Have you thought about doing a dedicated build log? That way others that want to go down a similar path can follow along.
