The car looks great man! Hope to see it in person soon!

Car looks very very good. I even like the silver hard top and the bumper cut.
I'd love to do that myself

Some minor progress. There was a Superlap Challenge event on the 5th I was planning on making it to, but my alternator gave out two days before.. Couldnt get it replaced before the event.
Next event is on September 9th, I think I can make it!

Brushes were worn out and one of the bearings was on its way out.. Got a new one for $106 on amazon and its working perfect so far. "Premier Gear PG-13559".

Also put in some FM adjustable sway bar endlinks and relubed the inner bar bushings. I was getting some loud clunking when hitting bumps while turning. These fixed it, feels a lot better.
I have now replaced every single suspension bushing on this car :bigtu:

Also turned the CEL into a shift light. Honestly its kind of a novelty since the CEL is so dim, but was a fun little project.
Added a wire from the 1E CEL pin to the WLED output pin.

Set the light to come on at 5800 rpm, this seems like when the HP and TQ drops off on the dyno plot above. Cant rev it too high with this tiny turbo.

Then wrapped the front bumper. More sanding:

Wrapped the bottom half and mouth first. The bumper went easier than I imagined but it would be a lot easier with two people to lay it flat in one go.

Wrapping the top half.

Front end done! Always wanted one of those oem stickers on the front too.

Looks friggin' great! I have the same gauge faces from RevLimiter but haven't installed them yet. They look really nice on your car.

See you next month at the SuperLap!

Car looks awesome!

Really enjoyed reading through this build thread! Car looks great nice job with the wrap. Nice to see you taking the time to replace/update what you see is in need. :likecat:

Thanks guys!

Love these gauges. Its a small detail but it makes a big difference when you're looking at them constantly.

See you next month!
