Car Show with my car
« on: December 27, 2013, 06:44:25 PM »
 Its been a long time since I have been on the forum, Last week I was asked to put my car in the Quad City Hot Rod and Custom Car  show at the convention center @ the end of January. I am pretty excited about doing this event.  My baby looks great since I added Norms side vented fenders, side skirts and racing rear bumper/fascia diffuser with custom exhaust, I also did some  mods on my Extreme Dimension front for better air flow to the intercooler and fabricated 4 inch brake ducts for the fronts for better cooling .  The quality of Norms stuff fit great, the Extreme Dimension front was a big struggle and flimsy, in fact I have some stress cracks to fix after the car show Will take some pics  and post them sometime soon

Norm your stuff was great , great quality  Good fit Thank U  In regards to racing, Memorial day ,car ran great during practice, engine ran cooler than before with addition of Norms side vents allowing better air flow ,brakes ran cooler with new 4" vents.
1st run lost power in turbocharger ,  could not find the cause until days later-loose wire  I did not race the rest of the year secondary to 2 neck surgeries.  May not be able to race in the future but have not given up
