[stadlxr]

The mclaren swag upholstery was a total flop…

and by the way with all this sound system and everything in the car still ran a 12.7 1/4

So what’s currently being done to the ST you may ask?
This weekend is a long weekend for us. Friday and Monday are off days so a nice 4 days weekend. Lots to do.
Currently being done by my 2 sponsors is:

Very cool build! Im not normally into the more “showy” builds but that car looks great! So much attention to detail.

Thank you bro, unsurprisingly I’ve received quite a bit of hate for the car. But at the end of the day I’m building the car for me and me alone. I have a list of things I want to do and that’s that. I have a vision. No one else can see my vision (unless you piece my to do list together that I have you guys 😂)

I totally forgot about those. They have been all over the world! Who cares what other people like - if you are not hurting anyone, enjoy it.

So I guess it is time to update. What an amazing end to the year it was last year. Super stoked with the car show SLMD at the lake (can search YT for some videos if interested). Unfortunately didnt win anything but it being the biggest show in the country , it was quite the honour to attend. It was a hectic build up to the show, I cannot for the life of me even remember half the thing I did.

This year I finally sorted my timing issue after ages battling trying to connect my ar with the obd2 reader and forscan. Recently acquired a meth kit this week so that will be going.

Let my just update with photos.

I also picked up my dream wheels last week, 1552 Tarmacs! The only set in my province (state for you Americans).

My car also sat for 10 weeks without a steering wheel over Dec and Jan as I got a custom one made from Carbon Fiber (took so long as it was a sponsored item so was worked on during off hours)

The journey to half cage track car and show car begins…

 

[stadlxr]

Did a ton of maintenance and fixes on the car yesterday. Slowly working through my nit pick list of things I’m not happy with on the car. Removed the stock airdam and my diy flat floor in preparation for a chasis mounted splitter. Anyone have any templates for me to copy?

also redid my intercooler sprayer setup. I want to add 3 more nozzles , 1 top center and the 1 on each bottom corner

 

[stadlxr]

Next weekend is oil change time. Need to get oil filter and crush washer (do I need to get a replacement crush washer for my whoosh Motorsport magnetic sump plug to do I keep reusing the one it came with?)

 

[the duke]

More information on the belts. I want Molten Orange belts!

Also, if you're really brave, have the fifteen52 decal waterjet and cut out in the spoke.

^^^We magnetic owners are lucky, as our belts already match the body color.

@Woods247 you got a template for your flat floor / chasis mounted splitter?

@Jabbit maybe you know the answer to my latter question?
