Huddleston's Build Thread

[Huddleston]

I will have some stuff coming in over the next few days!

1. Storm Springs - Friday
2. Blackvue DR600GW-HD Dash Cam w/ hardwire kit - Monday
3. Valentine One Radar detector - also being hardwired - Friday
4. Velgen VMB5 Wheels - fronts are 9.5 with 35mm offset and rear are 10.5 with 45mm offset - Wednesday

I am still deciding on tires - Either Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, Continental ExtremeContact DWS or Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position.

Rotors are being made currently and will be in in another two weeks.

The plan is to amass the parts and then install everything over one weekend. Lots of pictures to come!

Really looking forward to seeing some of the pictures from this, especially considering you got the fastest color.

I too can't wait to see some pics either. Regarding the faster color Aquineas, that would be Montecito Blue

Guys, I specifically asked the dealer which color was the fastest and was told Casablanca White added exactly 43 horsepower. True story.

Wow, that must be the first time a dealer ever lied to somebody.

My dealer told me the same thing about the Montecito Blue color. True Story

AL Priority Laser Jammers have been ordered along with Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position tires. Wheels and tires will be installed later this week and then the car goes to get the holes filled from the badges being removed. I am on vacation now but will be back Wednesday and will be posting pictures of the parts that have arrived. Stay tuned over the next few weeks guys! Lots of changes coming!

Looking forward to the reviews of those springs

 

[Huddleston]

Parts finally arrived! Upon returning from vacation my wheels and tires were waiting for me along with the springs and Valentine 1. Tomorrow the Blackvue dash camera arrives along with my AL Priority laser jamming system. Enjoy the pics!

What are the offsets on your new wheels? How much do they weight?

 

[Alwaysforward]

Love those wheels. Can't wait to see them on the car. When you remove the old ones, is there a chance you could have them inspected to see if the wheels run true? Others are having issues with bent rims and would be nice to see if any others are having the same issue.

I have to agree; those wheels look bad azz!

It wasn't others it was 1.....lets not make this into a major problem till other complain about bent rims start to show up

 

[Huddleston]

Thanks guys. Offsets on wheels are +35 front and +45 rear.

Very interesting and fun thread. Could you please let us know your results with the new Valentine 1? My older one gets so many false readings from the electronics on large trucks on the interstates that I don't use it anymore.

Thanks for keeping us advised.

 

[kacike]

I like your rims can't wait to see how the car turns out.

 

[Aquineas]

Looking forward to seeing everything installed! (Though I'm sure not as much as you).

 

[Huddleston]

Thanks guys - this weekend the holes get filled on the front and rear and today the Blackvue dash camera arrives and the supporting AL laser jammers for the V1 setup. I will post pictures tonight after the UPS guy comes! Wheels and tires are supposed to go on tomorrow so we'll see how the car looks before being lowered. I cant wait to get everything installed and get the car finished!

Once you start down the mod road you are never finished
