AMGfan 2012 GTR Build Picture Thread

You can live in your car, but you can't race your house.

The way our county appraises houses this car will be worth more than the house...sadly I'm not even kidding. Neil...I can't wait for Tym to get his hands on it and put some loving...habanero style...

I love the smoothness and power delivery with the e-tune you guys sent...I can't barely wrap my head around the difference after it gets back to me. I'm scurred...in a good way!

Sounds fvckin pissed.

Seeing it in motion... Gives me a better appreciation of this build.

When can you take in mine for the exact same set up?

No seriously... What is the estimated cost of this build?

[TXSTYLE]

Would you like me to get you some of those NO FEAR decals from the 90's?

Just behind the scenes during the photoshoot...





Things still needed to do...

1. Update illuminated GTR sills...While the car is at Switzer, C2 will paint the stock sills gloss black, paint the silver strip satin black, and clear coat the whole sill...THEN put some clear shield film to protect it from shoe traffic...When the car gets back then they will transfer the illuminated portion of the sill to the newly painted OE sills...
2. The seat switches that are still stock will be color matched to the seat control knob (gloss black)...I bought R/L switches from Boulder Nissan (thanks Eric) for C2 to modify...
3. The handbrake from GT-RR is still missing in action...its been made to be a combination of carbon fiber, leather, and red deviated stitching to match the interior...I've been waiting since July 2011 for it...I gave up holding my breath.
4. The custom floor mats are still pending...black with carbon fiber inserts...it will have C2 Design logo on it...I have enough GT-R logos and need some love for C2...
5. I have to consider either fortifying the GT-RR front lip or buy a second front spoiler lip just for high speed runs...I was reading some data on how much downforce is generated on REALLY high speed runs...over 200%...I love the look of the GT-RR lip but I don't think I want the front lip to fly off at 200mph or less...
6. The front grill is annoying the shit out of me...it is still stock and the only dull material on the exterior of the car...I have already ordered the Nordring carbon fiber front grill overlay...probably get it in February (thanks Hayden)
7. I ok'd C2 to build up the stock headlights...taking them apart and modifying the interior pieces...I just want a back up set.
8. The ACG roll bar went to upholstery so that leather covers with red stitching can be applied...it will be put on after it gets back from Switzer
9. I'm sure there will be more...
