Today was the most challenging day ive had for working on the car due to being in pain all day and moving at the pace of a sloth.
That being said, she's all done. We will load our polished turds up tomorrow and see yall in gainesville!
Looks great!!

Going to put the photographers to work this year! Hopefully chris has his cameras ready! Lol
Probably the end of the thread for me. Car did what we wanted. Wish we would if went faster in the drags but could only turn the boost controller up 1 setting. Any higher and the clutch would slip in 3rd. With it turned up though the car felt like an absolute rocket in 1st sland second before falling in uts face with a slip in 3rd. So much so it went 14.1 @ 83mph... car would have gone deep 12s had it held.
Managed a 13.1 @101mph on 4psi lol. And a 39.4 autocross, good for 2nd overall budget. Concourse was worlds better than last year but i got some great pointers moving forward. Wound up finishing 3rd overall which is actually the first time ive ever been on the podium. Looking to take that momentum into next year and get fitted for the jacket.
Car is currently pending sale to a georgia tech student and i hope he loves it. We are pending picking up the material girls ecoboost ranger and i have some big goals for it.
Was a great journey with this car and ive learned that the solstice is heavily underrated in its abilities. Boost a 2.4 solstice and youll be amazed.
Thats a nice collection of hardware! Nice work!
hell yeah!!!
Car is back up for sale. 2k to a challenge competitor. Its going on marketplace for 3500 as we speak. Has a salvage rebuildable title. Could use a clutch to benefit from the power it can make. Other wise keep the boost controller all the way down or off and enjoy it on 4psi. Still a blast.

I PMed you a week or two about potentially buying this. I think my email got overlooked (go figger!). Let me think a little...
Are there any parts that come with it to help with the budget?
In reply to SV reX :
Oh i didnt know. Let me look. And yes there are some parts that will come with it. Extra wheel spacers. A dual gauge pod from ddm works. A boost gauge. And some other parts that were either taken off or purchased and not used.
In reply to SV reX :
And realistically you could gut the interior and get a decent amount back for seats and door panels. Etc.
