I'm stuck between the NSX or Carrera GT. The GT would probably a lot less work for now.
Enjoy life while you can, because you only have one shot. So go BIG or go home.
The front upper control arms are now completed
And the front end finally came in through UPS.
Ordered a few more parts that should be in tomorrow, and going to get the argon bottle filled today as well so that I can get back at it.

03-05 base model front end?
M45/OS crank/2.4 snout. It's nice to be injected but I love being blown!

Yes, b/c I'm way too low to have a lip kit or even a massive body kit. No lip front/rear or side skirts. The roof line only comes up to my belly button and the top of the trunk is pretty much a little higher than my knee.

The LSS front really isnt any lower than the base....
Nice

Last thing I'm going to appreciate on this build is what bumper he chose.
All about that fab!
Agreed, the bumper is the last thing im going to look at. The work behind this project is amazing. Keep it up!
I cant wait to see the said height of the car......how tall are you???? LOL
GMR has got nothing on this

Best reason ever!
Glad someone agrees with my reasoning.

Due to time restraints, I had to resort to the OEM front and rear. Im just trying to make this thing drivable soon. So oh well to the rest of the complaints, I happen to like the 03 front end for some reason. I also didn't like the casting/molding of the buddy club bumper. Going to reorder from a better quality vender and finish that part of it all one day. But I am 6'3" and the roof line is 41" as of right now, that might go up an inch or two. Either way, its gonna be slammed. I have a couple more photos to take just to make Brad happy.

Agreed, first tome ever seeing this and im loving yhe whole new exotic car look, lol top gear eat your heart out!.
But really that custom front is crazy.
Idk anything bout the set up or your budget but in my dream car i would always say to put a hydraulic system. Have 1 toggle switch with four positions.
Po | height "
4 - Raise 1" from stock body line
3 - Stock body line height
2 - Lowered 1" from stock body line
1 - Slammed for car shows
I know it be exapensive but maybe you can use the idea in your own way and solve your problem. Idk lol
Straight lines are over-rated In My Opinion =]

I already had this car on air struts and really hated it. Plus adding hydraulics is a crap ton of weight too.

I personally dont like air bags... Hydrulics have been boucing chevys for generations lol =D much firmer then air bags. As to weight i wasnt concernd bout cause if how much you already removed. Plus you have options to place it for weight distribution cause the car being rear engine ad all... Lol it be crazy sick =D

Lol im know for having crazy ideas

My bad.

I just ordered the solution to your complaint. -6 AN aluminum weld in bung/fitting that the 90* will screw straight into. Which should lower the total height about an inch or so, plus have a cleaner look.
lol very nice!
This is just for you Brad. Hope you like it, ha.
Mounted the HKS SSQV yesterday. Intercooler pipes are finally done now.

You're my new hero. subscribed!
Here is the start of the exhaust tips. Due to the car being so low, I can't run the exhaust below the bumper like normal. So, John and I came up with the idea of running a dual tip right where the factory license plate/tag cut out is. He mentioned about heating up some flat stainless to give it that rainbowish look, and mounting it to fill in the tag cutout where the tips will be. 3" down pipe to 3.5" exhaust pipe and 4" tips.....
Almost done with the front frame work. The upper control arms are finally mounted and the rack is connected to the knuckles, just need to measure/remeasure and mount the rack. The radiator is mounted as well, and the fuel cell will be right about the rack. Should have this all done by the end of the weekend, providing that the chassis shop receives their shipment of tubing on thursday.
John aslo convinced me in running the cobalt individual coil packs and to switch to that valve cover as well. Going to try to pick those up on thursday as well.

Looks good. Cant wait to see the exhaust come out the back!
hehe yes sir. much better!
