So you mentioned livery and aero. Is the car going to be a track toy?
Not a dedicated track car, but it will be seeing track time for sure!

Apologies for the lateness on this episode, I'm bad at this :p.

For reference, the car is basically done mechanically but I just haven't had time to edit the footage and show where it's at now. Going to try to get the episodes out ASAP!

New episode out! This time I throw on a Downpipe and an MHD Stage 2 Tune, and then go for a spin!



In the next episode, I will be replacing the hood, side skirt/valence, as well as replacing the driver's power window motor. Speaking of which though, I can't seem to reprogram the auto window up and down using the usual "Hold the button for 25 seconds" method. No matter what I try, the window doesn't learn the down or up positions. As such, the window does not roll back up to seal the door frame when I close the door. Anyone have any idea or do I need to just use ISTA+ or some other dealer software?

Are you planning on replacing the rear fenders or will you try to pop out the dents?
Gonna pull it and repair. Drilling out the rest quarter involves removing all the glass, headliner, etc and would end up costing way too much money. I'm hoping to get it into the body shop in the next few weeks hopefully. Was having a little trouble finding a body shop that would play ball with filming, but hoping to sort that out soon.

Good luck man! I'm excited to see what's coming up with your build soon! :)
