So I wanted to start this thread as a continuation to Tyler's (Boostingsnail) build thread. Keep everyone in the loop of whats going on with the car so people dont think it disappeared or ended up in the hands of someone just looking to strip the car for its parts.
Here's a link to Tyler's build thread for reference: BoostingSnail : VegasFuel / AGP Turbo Street Machine Build
For those of you who didn't know this car, it was immaculate. Tyler took his time with everything and couldn't have asked for a better track car for the price.
So I originally had a 2005 Flame Red SRT that I had a tire blow out while merging onto a highway and subsequently lost control of the vehicle and went head on into a median across 3 lanes of traffic in April of 2013. Thankfully I was ok and no one else was involved. My insurance check was surprisingly substantial and I needed a new car to track with minimal down time. I would have loved to have built another car but I found Tyler's for sale and with my insurance check I was able to purchase his car and a trailer.
Last season, between my car being broken into and all of my safety equipment, gopro and tuning stuff stolen, buying a house (with 4 garages!), family stuff, and work it was a bust. The car was garaged and started here and there to let everything run. Over the last couple months I've been able to replace everything that was stolen and been able to start making some tweaks here and there to the car.
So far the ACT twin disc has been removed and sent out to get rebuilt, after Tyler's track seasons I felt it could use a refresher just to make sure everything good with it. While the trans is out I will be placing a Monster Billet Clutch Fork salvaged from my wrecked Srt, DCR Fork Ball and Mopar TOB. A DCR 4th solid motor mount is going in as it was the only mount that wasn't changed and its easy to get to by sliding the engine over with the trans out.
I plan on getting a lot of seat time this season to get comfortable at the track with the car and get consistent 60's. I also want to get the track times this car should have been putting down at a good track, most likely Maple Grove, Englishtown, Atco and Island for test and tunes (Tyler was running at Beaver Springs). Then I plan on getting a tubular exhaust manifold, havent decided which one yet but that'll be down the road, something twin scroll, bigger intercooler, water injection, 2000ish cc injectors and an E85 tune.
