Custom front pieces, wing, and standard engine mods.

 

Looks great, but I think you will enjoy your car even more, especially on track, if you upgrade away from Pirelli tires. My recommendation is Michelin Pilot 4S for mixed street/track use and Pilot Sport Cup 2 for mostly track use.

 

Absolutely brilliant, love it! I recognize the wing as I chose the same for mine, but would you mind sharing what canards and front splitter you chose?

As for rubber, I agree 100%, decent Pirellis, Trofeo Rs, are obscenely expensive, until I feel confident with Hoosier slicks, the Cup 2s are an amazing performing tyre.

 

thanks for the kind words! The splitter and canards are custom made, but I’m sure Jon can make you a set too. Reach out to him if you like.

Looks good, now you just have to paint those calipers a different color!

 

Mods - I doubt the thread starter meant to say his car was warped.

 

Love the car and the Homer decals are topppp

 

Paint the calipers to match the green wrap.

 

agree! They are being wrapped in bright dayglow blue, and the headlights will have yellow covers. I will share pics tomorrow when I pick it back up

 

lol. Yes wrapped is the word I meant

 

Here is the video of the story behind the car and it’s meaning.

 

vrooomm vroooommmmm! Love it!
I also love those t-birds in the background!

 

What a moving and beautifully-made video.

 

Thanks for all the kind words guys. It means a lot

 

 

@Smokedmustang ok... I need to know. How have you accomplished that on the headlights?
And a clever deviation from the typical on the calipers! Very nicely done. I was thinking of metallic orange on mine...

But I'm a traditionalist... a jaguar racing stripe as opposed to the ford one;-) Now I'm just nitpicking... It really is awesome.

 

Thanks for the kind words. That is yellow film over the headlights

 

Interesting that you had your callipers wrapped, I've never heard of that before and think it would work fine on a road-going car where temps will rarely rise above 400f, but if you intend to track it you could see as high as 1000f which I can't see any high temp vinyl standing up to.

Would you post what was used & if you think it's DIYable?

 

Nice car, bravo!

For the caliper wrap I suppose you used this:

What would be useful to know is if such wraps don’t have a thermal isolating effect and thus could not concentrate the heat, which of course would be an issue ?

 

Thanks for comments guys! You can email/call Jon about anything he did on the car, we will share everything you guys want to know. I think this is high temp caliper wrap, the guy who wrapped my car also wraps IndyCars, NHRA dragsters and lots of other motorsports. So they have to stand up to that heat.
