Want to post up an update. Lots happening on the project...Now, not only continuing to build mine, but also started on my Son's SC. Weekends are just about cars lately...All day, every day!


So, my car is back in the shop as I mentioned because I had a minor accident in late 2013. I took to the shop and had them take their time and get everything I was not happy with before on the exterior changed and improved...The front bumper was tweaked for a better and more integrated look. 


The rear wheel wells were pulled slightly for a mild wide body treatment so that my wider rims and tires would completely clear. 


The paint was stripped and the whole car repainted black again. 


Some genuine Carbon Fiber is going in key places on the car.


The headlights are being tweaked.


The interior is being tweaked.


The engine bay is being tweaked.


The stock rack is being replaced.


The Steering bushings are being replaced.


The control arms are being replaced...Front and rear.


More surprises to come. 


Can't stop modding the car....

Daniel and I just spoke, plus he was able to show me (for my eyes only), the updates on my headlights. They are simply bad to the bone!! I'm very excited. Can't wait to get them back soon and installed on my car. I guarantee you they will be stunning! Simply fantastic work and top notch quality on his remake and totally new build of my lights! He's doing my lows, highs and fogs! They will all finally match! No outdated fluted lens covers anywhere!

My wheels have been completed too! So the car will be done soon. Can't wait to drive it again!!

Picking up my repaired wheels next week! I am going down south for some work and they will have them ready! Car is finally coming together again.

OG Status is near finished with my lights, I had to send them a second set of lights as my original outer housings for the low beams were too damaged from being taken apart so many times by the previous people that worked on them that they could not be used again. What OG is doing is not only phenomenal, but one of a kind, and trailblazing...Several of the mods he is making have not been done to the front lighting on the SC. I'm quite excited about it.

Also, I found a tuner! In Florida! They can tune my car exactly to what I need. They also know and have lots of experience with my aftermarket ECU's. That is really exciting. So, finally, I will be getting to the power I always planned to. Going to be great to finally get it back on the road again.

So I received the lighting from OGS, and they look amazing!! My hat's off to Organized Garage Status and Daniel!! My car is near completion at the shop, and so I went to the shop and I installed them to see how they will look on the car. I still need to do a little wiring of the new harness, and install the new battery, so no powering on yet. Also, the car needs to be finished putting together the small details, cleaned and glazed before coming home.  

Here are a few pics. Daniel's work completed the front appearance of the car!!

Fogs installed, left these out the other day...Car still dirty in shop at time of pics and test fitting. Those are old wheelsjust to protect the new ones in case anybody wonders...

I have the car...I've had it for a few months now. As always, adding additional items and tuning and specialties to it. I have posted up on FB, and so those of you that follow there in those closed groups can or have seen it there.

I had to have the billet emblems restored...So they are not on the car right now. But several improvements have been made and I will update you more in a few weeks as I will be very tied up.

Heres a few...Enjoy...Dyno will be done as soon as tune in the next 30 days or so...










Here are a few more...Much more to come...

Now fixing the tune and the fueling...Fixed the slight overheating problem. Just moved the whole radio support forward. More space now between the fans and the DP. Really worked out! Plus, got rid of the metal corrugated hot rod water tubing and added black braided hose and -20 AN’s. Now the routing is proper too!

Added black CF, more CF coming...inside and out.

Rebuilt the steering wheel out of carbon and flattened the bottom. Added thumb grips too. Redid the stick shift **** to match.

More to come.
