FNG From 'On High'

Dread53 · 02-13-2010, 07:28 PM

9000 Ft in the Colorado mountains, that is. I bought one of the splitters from david01130, so I thought I'd sign on.

'05 Saleen, now supercharged @ 6 psi with a fully ported SC, JDM big valve heads, Comp Cams, Kooks LT's with catted X, BMR everything, 14" Baers at all corners with 6 pistons up front and lots of smaller do-dads. I do all my own work, including the blower porting. Coming soon, 302 stroker and 10 psi.

Now, on to the photos!

With the original wheels

Some interior mods

A bit of smoothing

I've spent a couple of hours in here

New Battery location

The reason for most of the engine compartment mods

With the new wheels

Leftovers (the pile is lots bigger now)

Looks good! What kind of suspension mods have you done?

Dread53 · 02-13-2010, 08:24 PM

If it isn't Racecraft it's BMR. K-member, A-arms, LCA's with relocating mounts, UCA, panhard bar with clearance mount for Saleen diff cover.

Wow gorgeous car man. I have lots of questions as I'm looking to change mine up a bit...and I really like what you've done...

First off...

Carbon fiber interior kit? Where from? How much? (where from and how much for all questions below lol)

A/C Knobs? Are they available in black? or a darker color?

Your stock gauge pod...I notice you have some autometers up there. How did you get them to fit properly? I was running an autom boost and autom a/f gauge of there and got sick of the fitment issues so I put the stock ones back in, w/ plans of going to a speed of sound A-pillar set up...do tell.

Rear mount battery set up. Custom built? or purchased?

Rad cover - Def a custom paint job...someone local? aftermarket?

Amazing car man, I'm excited to hear more about it. I'm from Idaho btw, born and raised, mom is from Ft. Collins/Colorado Springs. Love CO., and I miss mountains!!

First off...

Carbon fiber interior kit? Where from? How much? (where from and how much for all questions below lol) I got this off ebay quite some time ago - the guy was from Houston.

A/C Knobs? Are they available in black? or a darker color? I don't think so, but I think I got these from Roush along with the billet shifter. I know they have different colors for the 'indicator'.

Your stock gauge pod...I notice you have some autometers up there. How did you get them to fit properly? I was running an autom boost and autom a/f gauge of there and got sick of the fitment issues so I put the stock ones back in, w/ plans of going to a speed of sound A-pillar set up...do tell. I put those in 4 years ago and I'm still finding plastic shavings in the car. I had to shave some monster holes in the dash to get them to sit down flush. It took me longer to install the gauges than it did the blower!

Rear mount battery set up. Custom built? or purchased? Bult from scratch out of MDF, with a plexiglass cover and stainless cover hold down.

Rad cover - Def a custom paint job...someone local? aftermarket? UniqueAutomotivedesigns.com did the rad and valve covers. I had the Saleen Supercharged mirror done by Gaugeplates.com after I did the layout in AutoCAD. I used the same file for the valve covers.

I'm originally a NorEaster (Buffalo) but came to CO for USAFA (Class of '75). I moved back in '86 and finished a degree at CSU in '01. Small world!

I originally wanted my car in yellow, but didn't want to wait to order one. This one was on the lot and I'm an impatient SOB when I finally make up my mind.

Damn dude your car is sick. I was gonna get those painted valve convers too, except a different design.
