: The Dog III is a runner!

Here it is boys, it runs, I have been driving it around the neighborhood pissing everyone off.
Finaly Brian at afterhours got mostly done with his part. As yo ucan see his stuff is pretty cool. Functional aero FTW. Now its back to Technosquare for wiring the data logging GPS system and some fabrication of the radiator baffleing, then to JWT for tuning and perhaps a bigger turbo.
When this car's chassis was stock it felt crazy fast, wheelspining squirrley and nearly out of control. With the new everything, it feels so solid and planted, it feels slow:( Gonna need way more power to beat Hasport or Chris Rado. The car feels really good on the street:eek2:
The car is nearly too pretty to race.

L4t3cy 08-02-2007, 04:47 AM damn that thing is awesome. its like border line "rice-like" :rofl: Very nice thou. atleast its functional.

There is not one ounce of rice on this car, every part is for a reason. All parts like the wing, splitter, side skirts, hood, etc are all properly engineeered to serve a function. Did it ever occur that rice parts were derived from parts on real race cars?;)
featherweight13 08-02-2007, 05:15 AM now thats a race car.
I for one hope to see some video clips of that dawg on the track. Oh yeah, and some wind tunnel stuff with colored smoke ;)
Nice job.

Yeah i know what rice is. thus why its "rice-like" But all the parts are functional. But damn even if it was rice i wouldn't care that car is HOT. I followed the build on the nitto site for some time till i lost the link :squint:
Edit: its like the japs build there cars. fully functional body kits, wings, splitters.
Ricer_X_01 08-02-2007, 06:18 AM very nice! :biggthump are you leaving it red or painting another color?

Car looks amazing Mike. Hands down the best looking Spec I've ever seen, and the best part is it's functionaly even better than it looks.
I just picked up a B13 I'm building a race car out of (kinda wish it was a B14 but oh well) So I'll see if I can help you chase Henry's Teg and that Hasport CRX.
Thomas Reynolds 08-02-2007, 07:33 AM Where did you get the idea for those Gold TE-37's? ;)
chriscar 08-02-2007, 08:35 AM Is it time to change your signature? :biggthump
2006, The year of the Dog Car
Wicked R 08-02-2007, 09:27 AM Awesome job Mike!!
Now I have to ask... Does this mean you've overcome your fear of racing again after the incident that put you into retirement? or do you have plans to hire a driver?
I wish you the best of luck during this season. I have every ounce of confidence you'll bounce back and take the podium...
Cheers-
Erich
Shift_Munky 08-02-2007, 12:17 PM Mike, I assume the ricey :D vents in the bumper cover forward of the wheel are to let air out from an oil cooler?

SER REAL 08-02-2007, 07:45 PM Another masterpiece, Kojima. Shall we see this machine in an upcoming time attack competition?
SE-Rican 08-02-2007, 09:02 PM I love the way the wheel color goes with the red.
Very cool Mike.
SHigSpeed 08-02-2007, 09:41 PM Man, that's great work, and the blog is VERY nice... So, who are your corporate benefactors that allow you to do such high end, spare no costs builds?
If it's all out of your pocket, you're insane! You've got a kid to put through school! :^)
