Work on/build racecars. Some of it's very technical, but probably not the type you're asking about. Also a woman. I'm checking off all the abnormal demographics here. Right?
That’s freakin’ awesome.
I’m sure you have a bajillion replies, but I would love to see some of the race cars y’all build.
I already linked the land speed car we built in another reply (should be easy to find under my original reply). If not lmk.
I was looking for a link to another car and stumbled on something one of our customers did.
YouTube video on the “Hakobird” build
So funny story, I guess. Not so funny for the poor person, ME, who covered themself in fiberglass for weeks for it to be completely ruined by someone else. The part where he shows the wide body kit installed and perfectly aligned and pretty? Yeah. It left our possession to go to paint like that. I spent weeks making it perfect, and I had to re-engineer A LOT of the kit because their mold was off by about 20-30* to the right, so nothing fit. At all. Then the painter ruined it.
The car has a built SR20DET in it. It did 350whp first day we had it on the dyno, with plenty more room.
That is just SO doap.
The 510 is one of my all time favorite cars ever.
And the 510 with that front end and that bad ass wide body kit? Absolute perfection.
SR20DET is just the icing on the cake. Usually you see those KA’s in the 510s, which are great engines and perfect upgrade for auto crossing and stuff. That SR20DET just turns it into another beast.
Friggin’ blows having the painter ruin all your hard work. You can tell from those shots a lot of care went into it.
Badass build. Y’all should be proud.
Thanks!!!
Funny enough. We just built two SR20VET engines. And even funnier, they were both going into roadsters. Neither guy knows each other, we didn’t suggest the combo. Just a coincidence.
We’ve done a few 510s with SR20DE/DET engines now. We actually do a lot of SR engines, both VE/VET and DE/DET.
We’ve done L series too, but I can’t think of a KA we’ve done that ended up in a 510. Usually they stay in an S chassis.
We also built an SR20 that ended up in a 300XZ. Yeah….. I still question the thought process behind that one.
Unrelated, we also built a VQ35 for Dai Yoshihara in 3 days. Moto-IQ did an article about that one too.
