My DSM project
I figured I would share a little preview of my street/strip DSM project. Here's what it looked like when I first got it:
New look: http://youtu.be/ZUMGsVIL3lk This build has been many years in the making. At this point nearly everything on the car is new. This car previously did low 12's on a 4G63 with 175,000 miles that was stock except for a set of cams and some ARP head studs. Hoping to hit the track again this year and improve my times a bit.

Ditched the Racing Harts/RH EVO for some CCW (I would have too)? It's looking good.

Yeah, with all the various wheels that have been on the car, it's interesting that I came back to a mesh style wheel again. It's similar and very different at the same time. Man, my car is super high in those old pics, lol.

I like my Work VS-XX. lol. Is the gold insulation for heat dissipation? |

It's mostly to protect the carbon fiber hood from all the heat coming off the manifold. (It's also gold and shiny and looks cool, lol.) The stock hood had aluminum/fiberglass insulation in the same area.

Gotcha. I was trying to figure out why would you want to reflect heat down to the engine again. Makes sense tho.
