Awww shucks. Thanks Car And Driver.

If you've stopped by our shop in the past year or so, then you might have caught a sneak peek of our latest project car. But, you were most likely sworn to secrecy if you did. Well here it is.....finally! Stop by your local newsstand or magazine shop and pick up the July issue of Car And Driver for all the juicy details. And of course, if you're wondering about any of the 1000 little details that went into building this car that were left out of article, feel free to ask here.

Thanks man! Car And Driver really went outside of their "box" to feature this car for us, so it would be awesome to support them and buy the mag. They were the coolest group of guys to work with and the writer of the article (John Phillips) is such a HUGE car guy at heart. Sure, some of their regular articles are sort of bland, but believe me, they LOVE aftermarket stuff more then you might realize.

Hi tek...tomorrow morning I'll post up a .PDF of the article on our website for our overseas friends.

Yup, it's at the shop right now. Some panels are off getting repainted after all the track testing, but the car's there.

I'll have a gallery of 100's of pictures from before and during the build process that I'll put online tomorrow sometime.

What about the PDK?
Great car and article.

I did not see much mentioned regarding the PDK? What was done to it?

Will you be offering the build in stages?

On this car, the PDK was left relatively untouched, with the exception of our new billet sump pan. This helps out tremendously especially at the track, keeping fluid temps down. (pic below)

Coming soon...the guys in the back are working on it. There will be a whole gallery posted on our Flickr page soon.
