The BIG update...

After 9 straight hours of work today, the car is FINALLY 95% DONE!!!!!

HUGE, GIGANTIC THANKS to the ENTIRE staff of Sonic MS in Mountain View. You guys are simply the best. Your service, professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail are unparalleled. I simply do not know what I would do without you guys - you are a true asset to this industry, and more importantly, you are the best friends a guy could have. Thank you so much for working hard with us to make this dream car a reality.



Here are some teasers from yesterday, at the paint shop. This won't give away what is "special" about the paint work, but you guys will see some better photos soon. The car still has some things that need fixing badly (mainly the window trim!), but it's nearly done, so we're very excited about that. :hi:


















Pics of the whole car tomorrow.
Also, pics of the Riss Racing downpipes being installed. Let me just say - this thing FLIES. Scary fast.

OK. Bed time. Not that I can sleep. I can't wait to drive this in to the office tomorrow!

Behold... the Red Dragon





















Sorry for the lousy photos, guys. The photographer we work with (Justin Zetterlund :thumbup: ) Is out of town. But fear not - more photos to come as we travel to MFEST next weekend

Still needs the window trim and a few other small things, but it is JUST about done

Thanks for looking... check back soon

that car is amazing!!

first pic - close-up of the CF hood - is that some pretty nasty orange peel on the top left, or is it just the way the pic/lighting was?

It looks like the car has a chinstrap beard.

Jon, have you gotten any magazine appearances completely figured out yet? I know this thing will be everywhere once you've got it finished to a level you're satisfied with.

Ilia - Call me up, I have a few things in the works - but if you have an in to any other magazines let me know

The CDV did tighten up the clutch but not too too much of a difference

More pics coming soon
