Hello everyone! My name is Brandon. Although it is not exactly my car (its my dads), I am joining the forum because I am basically fixing up his car as I go. So, I will refer to his car as mine for simplicity.
I am 23, from Southern California, I am work in IT, and I have a business on the side for lighting. My hobbies include beating cars around courses and tracks, fixing what is broke, and changing what isn't broke, resulting it in being broke and fixing whats broke.
Car is a 2007 GT/CS. Car is pretty much stock, but will get some goodies soon. Just need to find the time.
A little more about me. I have my grassroots program called Madd Motorsports Design. I also founded a business called Madd Retrofits and Lighting. I am mostly all over the SN95's because thats the car I spent the most time and money on, but maybe its time to start documenting this one too.
WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE CAR NOT YOU.
Ok ok, I get it. So here is the dets. Like I said, its a GT/CS, and pretty stock, for now. He wants to build a show car, but I want to beat this thing around the track. So we are going to have some fun with this build.
Since I am sponsored by Carbon Driven, so we have a couple of carbon fiber parts, the rear trunk panel, and the mirror covers. We will be getting some more soon.
The H-pipe has been swapped out for an X-pipe, and the mufflers went from stock to Super 44's to Magnapacks. They will be changing soon again since I am now sponsored by Black Widow Exhaust.
Theres a K&N cold air intake. It has these quarter window scoops which I am probably going to rip out because i hate them. It has some 20x7.5 20x10 Velocity Wheels, which I am trying to get rid of. It has a Trufiber GT500 KR fiberglass hood, which will be replaced soon. And it has BC Racing coil-overs, which might be replaced too.
Oh and I got a smoking deal on some GT500 Brembos. Scored them for 350! Got rid of the heavy ass stock rotors and going to upgrade to some 2-piece Wilwood rotors, since i can get them at a pretty good price.
The goal is to get more carbon fiber parts, get a stainless steel (or TI) exhaust, headers, and some bolt on/bolt off cats (for smog). Most likely going to get some forged aluminum 19x11's or 19x12's wheels, change out the intake and throttle body and tune it. Probably put a cage, get some Recaro Ford Racing seats, aluminum driveshaft, upgrade the rear brakes to 13 or 14" 2-piece rotors. Car needs some suspension upgrades. Going to get a splitter done, side splitters, diffuser, and possibly a belly pan and some radiator ducting. And I'm probably going to build a tubular front and back bumper. And of course some custom lighting on the car.
Since I am building it, I am going to make it track ready for when he lets me take it out or if he takes it out.
Here are some pictures for you! Not sure if there is a build thread options, so i am just going to include it here until someone says differently.
