I dont have any pics, but it just looks like the hood is misaligned and not closing correctly... lol Kind of tacky.... but it seemed effective on releasing heat when the car is in motion and on the track.

With the J swap, you'll find that you desperately need traction since there is so much low end torque. Look into falken azeni RT615K. They last pretty long, even after a season on the track. Great prices, and amazing traction.

Haha, very true on both points. I'm gonna try to cut away the underside / hood prop before I cut a big huge hole in my hood. We'll see how that plays out.

Looks great, Eric. Always been a fan of your car.

Thanks! Hows that build going coming along for you?

Mr. Chang(my apologies for addressing you solely by your last name on V6P), already commented on the car over there, but I do like what you have done with it.

IMO, an 01-02 bumper would look better, the 98-00 fogs kind of spoil the look.

Will you be going with the Comptech or "Paul Special", M90?

Changaroo's fine

You can call me whatever! I used to have an 01-02 bumper laying around, but I sold it locally to someone that needed it due to an accident.

As of now, I probably wont be boosting. I had a thought at the back of my mind, but with the way the traction issues are, I'm thinking otherwise!

Favorite car on v6p / 6ga. Give or sell me your current wheels.

I'm thinking about getting rid of them actually for something wider up front. If youre really serious I'll let you know.

just pure sex!

How low is that J35 oil pan sitting to the ground now? lol Is it as low as Mikey's?

Its actually not too bad, like someone else mentioned, I did not shim the K-frame (did not want to mess with the suspension geometry) or did I have the resources/tools to lower the mounts at home. The lowest part of the car is probably the flex pipe on the headers.

Thanks, I will probably find some time to post some "during" photos of the build later.

i've always loved the way your car sits..

if you're ever in texas then pm me, if you don't mind, i'd like to shoot your car and send it to stance:nation.

edit: that came out wrong, i meant shoot as in photography btw.

Well I decided to use the harness - from talking to you, Tom, & others it sounds like it's pretty solid and shouldn't give me any CEL's. Otherwise I'm still collecting parts, I've bought everything used I could to save some coin, I'll have to buy a lot new since I have no donor car. I plan on getting the swap done when spring comes. I'll make a build thread at that point, I don't want to hype it up. Thanks for asking man.
