Well The Velox vents came in yesterday. I was getting ready to get them installed when it started raining. So That will have to wait.

Then on top of backing into my brothers car the other day (just scuffed my bumper, and cracked a corner, really hard to see it). I was on the phone and he parked just outside of where my mirrors cover. I then proceeded to back up a small pile of dirt from the parking pad install.

It backed up fine, but when I shifted into first the car kind of settled and got stuck. Had to be pulled out. Kind of sucks being so low some times.

Also got great news. Originally when I ordered the caliper, it told me It would be delivered Thursday. Then When I got the tracking number, it was due for wednesday. Last night it updated and told me it would be here today, and it is currently out for delivery. So I will see how far off it is from being able to be mounted after work.

New Caliper is here. It is gigantic. I went ahead and ordered the right side, hopefully be here by the time I get to take it over and make the brackets. If it quits raining by the time I get off work I am going to pull my current caliper and see what all needs done to mount these.

I have access to the OEM Cad files from Scion, but cannot for the life of me find any for either the caliper from Brembo, or from any of the OEMs the caliper was installed on. Trying to see if a Semi-Local Company will scan it using their 3D Scanner to make the bracket easier.

Finally got to install the Velox Hood Vents. Went Pretty smooth. Still need to install the two Larger Center Vents. I do like the look with the two outer ones though.

DustinS · 05-31-2016, 11:28 AM

Had a movie to go to with the family so I put the hood on so it wouldn't fly away.

Even After slotting the mounting holes, Vent is bent. Going to have to go back and drill it out a bit more.

In the end. Not thrilled. Not sure I like the looks either. Two was okay, but the four look... off. Currently on the hunt for another hood and going to go with DrivewayLabs most likely.

Went and spent some time with the Local Z-Car Club at Z-Fest. Came away with not much sleep, and a 1st place Non-Z AutoX Trophy (even against a new Porsche 911 Turbo S and GTR). Porsche Easily could have won the entire event, Fastest Time of the day (Timed) 27 Seconds Flat. Porsche fastest time (after event had officially ended, Not the owner driving) 25.4X seconds. My Fastest time was a 27.59.

Yes it is. Yes no helmets I know. Wasn't SCCA.

Well. Rocket Bunny Plans are being made. I have heavy doubts, but The more I look at them, the more I need one. I also plan on trying to stuff the largest square set-up I can. For right now, I am stuck between XXR 530 18x9.75 with a 285/30 (.4% from stock tire diameter) or a Cosmis 18x10 or 18x10.5 hopefully getting a friend to redrill them for 5x100.

ajaxthebetter · 06-10-2016, 10:57 PM

Have you thought about going Todoroki fronts with custom work done to rears to have them pushed out? Would look very stock body, but fit massive stuff underneath. In the 720 Form wheel thread (google it) a fellow on pages 8 and 9 shows his car with the rears pushed out about 2", yet the body looks normal.

I only bring it up since you have some reservations about RB.

DustinS · 06-16-2016, 05:02 PM

Started looking at the Twin Charged FRS builds. I wonder what it would take to install a Cosworth Supercharger and install a GTX3076 hmm. Obviously Respective FI items, Ecutek, Built Engine, Custom Intercooler to supercharger pipe (not too difficult). Now to find someone to tune the car...

DustinS · 06-20-2016, 05:13 PM

Been working on a list of parts for doing a GTX3076R build with a possibility of adding a Sprintex 335 later on depending on response.

So far:
Element Tuning Big Valve Head Build
ID1000s
DW300
Torque Solution Engine Mounts
Radium Catch Cans
Full Blown Intake Manifold(still deciding if I want to buy this if I plan on running the supercharger)
Ecutek (really want an e85 Dyno Tune, but closest tuner seems to be a 9-10 hour drive away)

SBD has a 3076 Upgrade Turbo available, but I am slightly confused as to which it is. The two people who currently have it say its a GT3076R(and the turbo is stamped this as well), and I am being told it's a GTX3076R. I am sure Chris will have no issue issuing a refund if I find it isn't the right turbo.

DustinS · 06-22-2016, 05:43 PM

With the plans to upgrade the turbo, I figured the need to upgrade the downpipe was there. No one that I know of has upgraded to a 3" downpipe from the 2.5" that comes with the SBD Kit. I am interested in how it will affect the spool and possibly power.

Ordered a 5 Bolt to 3" V-Band Bellmouth Adapter plus a few V-Band kits, 3" 90 Degree bends, 3" Straight, and some O2 Bungs. I plan on TIG welding this up, but I have never done TIG before, so this should be interesting. Hopefully I don't screw it up.
