FoMoCo01's 01 GT Build

Fomoco01 · Jul 26, 2012

Coilovers are here just need to put them on but the motivation is in the toilet at the moment =( <br>I want the griggs setup because ive heard nothing but awesome reviews from people who have them and i plan on tracking the car pretty hard next year.  Was going to run the brembo setup but I really dont want to run 18's on the car to clear the brakes.  I definently wont cheap out on rotors.  Im a little disappointed with griggs though at the moment, ordered a tiger racing hood from them (almost 5 months ago) and now cannot get them to email me with updates about the hood.  Gonna try to call them about it tomorrow...<br><br>P.S. Heres another vid, lots of push here around some corners, need to get those coilovers on and set it up with a little more aggressive alignment, let me know what you think!<br><a href="http://youtu.be/o_Vip3_tcQU">http://youtu.be/o_Vip3_tcQU</a>

Check this out, picked it up last night. It's a little dirty, but it should clean up nicely and it will get powdercoated soon! It's a Reichard Racing intake manifold that I found online. It's going on the new engine as soon as I get it back! Here's some pics.

Nice ride! I love me a New Edge on FRs.

Just went through this thread, it's lookin good man. I agree on that color on new edge's, perfect color imo. You gonna take this beast down the 1/4 or just auto cross it? Good luck with it!

Thanks for the feedback guys! Na, no quarter mile racing for this car. I wanted to do something different with the car instead of just seeing it become a drag car (Hence the lack Forced Induction). It's got a torsen rear differential and hard launches are out of the picture for this one. Autocross is the main goal for the car,but I also want to get out for some track days and HPDE. The car is slowly working towards becoming an event only car. I love driving it on the street every once in a while, but that probably won't be an option in the next couple of years. I've slowly been checking out everyone elses builds on here and they are looking good!

P.S.-Anyone heard anything about Griggs racing lately? Ordered a hood from them almost a year ago, but still haven't gotten it. Paid for it and now can't get them to return phone calls or emails. Trying to get my money back so I can go directly to the manufacturer for the hood.

New toys!

The intake and TB are a little dirty from sitting, but they will be powder coated this week

looks great! Do you mind me asking why you didnt opt for a single blade throttle body?

Fomoco01 · Jan 27, 2013

Well, it's kind of a long story, but basically I wanted to try out a Reichard Racing intake on an all motor setup, but couldn't find an upper that would fit the single blade round throttle body. So instead of going with an aftermarket single blade that would be much larger than what I will need, I decided to try and find a stock 01 or 96-98 cobra throttle body. Luckily a friend had one laying around and gave it to me for free. It seems to work ok, a little sticky, but that's nothing that a little TLC won't fix.

Taking the car for emissions this weekend, and then the swap begins! I run an O/R X pipe all the time, but needed my stock cats to pass emissions, so a buddy and I fabbed this up last weekend. It's not pretty, but it will get the job done.
