haha, I have been halfway considering getting an ecoboost badge to slap on the trunk... probably won't, but I had a buddy who slapped a hybrid badge on his Pontiac G6 GT just for the dumbfounded looks of prius owners.




or maybe this concept tt badge...

Looks great! I've seen some of these pictures on the RET facebook so it's nice to finally see the whole project. What are you doing to the suspension to put down this new found power?

danzcool

There's not really much of a plan right now. I've been setting this car up more for road race vs drag, suspension-wise. Suspension as it stands is: Steeda sport springs, Koni adjustable dampers, adjustable sways, Steeda HD strut mounts, & adjustable panhard bar. Heavier duty LCAs may be in the future, as well as a watts link. But I am still on Conti extreme contact DW tires, so moving up to tires with R-compound wold probably be the next step.

God bless you brother for having the extra cake to do what you have done to your car! Most of us don't have this luxury, I applaud.

This has been the best $15 I have spent on the car. The looks and conversations are priceless...

Danzcool, you should take a look at our Watts Link and lower control arms. I know Greg just had one of our units shipped to him, was it for your car or another project?

danzcool

Thanks.
Yeah baby.
thanks.
Nope, must be another one of Greg's projects, he has so many badass projects going on at any given time. It'll be interesting to see where his own twin coyote project ends up.

I'll take a look at your watts and LCAs, but it will probably be awhile before I do anything toward that end... my project is in 2 parts, this part of the turbo/fuel system build-up, and the next part being a built block and turning up the boost. I need some time between the parts to get the funds together, figure some driveability issues (whether I should go aluminum or steel flywheel, whether I need to stroke for more low end torque, etc), what the end under-hood dress-up scheme will be, etc. So any suspension changes will probably come after part 2.
