Thanks toph, really appreciate it.
Thanks as always for your support, Darryl. Thanks gabeham, happy to have you here checking out the build! My pleasure JD! I got another great update for you all! Along with the cage progress, I had Ronald@O'Brien Motorsports do a couple extra jobs for me. I had him install my ARC Power Steering Cooler, and modify my Custom Carbon Center Console! I also bought MSI Seat Brackets. Enjoy the pictures: |

Man I want to do that but the cost over just doing a 2005-2007 Sti center console is a lot
It looks like an NBR car from that time period |

Great question Scuby, more on that to come! Welcome back everyone to my journal, I'm excited to continue sharing the progress of the work Ronald O'Brien is doing on Gabby. The car continues to come together and I'm really happy to know that the vision I've had in mind all along is becoming a reality. This vision could only be achieved with the experts to bring this vision into fruition. Thank-you Ronald, and Touge Tuning especially for all the work on Gabby. In the following pictures, you will see the entire interior got painted...I will admit, I wish we took the car to get the interior professionally painted in a booth, but Ronald felt really compelled to do it himself lol! I'll eventually get it redone when I fully restore the car. You'll also see we test-fitted the Seibon Dry Carbon Trunk, flocked the dash, and started putting the interior back together. Enjoy: |

Hey everyone and welcome back to my journal!
More progress from Ronnie@O'Brien Motorsports, we test-fitted one of my Recaro SPA seats and boy do they look incredible! Also installed the Plastics4Performance Hardcoated Polycarbonate Rear Window to stay true to the motorsport-inspired feel I'm going for. It works perfectly with the Special Edition Seibon Dry Carbon Fiber Trunk, the weight of the entire hatch is EXTREMELY light! Also we removed the power rear hatch latches to save weight, so if you want to open the trunk, you have to hold it up or it will come crashing down. We also test-fitted the Voltex Rear Spoiler...it's a thing of beauty <3 The dashboard also got flocked by Ronnie, and it's super pretty! In case you want to see more pics of the car, my Instagram is: @screamer Enjoy the pictures and thanks for stopping by: |

Hey everyone,
Thanks for checking out my latest update. Gabby is almost finished with Ronald O'Brien, just tying up some loose ends. We had a couple exciting little projects on the go, namely modifying my Varis Diffuser and cutting out the upper horizontal section to clear up some space for my Cartek FIA Rain Light to be fully seen. Enjoy the pictures: |

Why did you remove the old one? Did you have a weight your trying to undercut? |

Thanks, it's the same cage (I'm just very behind on my updates). I'm aiming to get my hatch to around 2,600 lbs. I know we can do it, just going to come with lots of work. Welcome back everyone, Speaking of weight, here's what the car weighed in at after the car was caged: Quite impressive seeing as though the car is fully caged. The roof, and windshield still need to be installed back...but my oh my Gabby is looking stunning! Considering how the car is still running stock intake, stock TGVs...I know we can shed some more weight up front. Engine bay looks great if you ask me! So at this point, it was time for Gabby to come back home. I had it trailered by a very good friend of mine. It was a bit of a tight fitment, so I had to "manage" to get into the car somehow lol. Enjoy the pictures: Thank-you all for stopping by! Stay tuned for next update! Also, I started a Youtube Channel, be sure to SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, and TELL A FRIEND about my channel! The focus is on my E90 M3 for the present time being. Enjoy! |

^^^ That will take some serious effort that's for sure given its sitting at 3060lbs (likely dry) right now and looks relatively stripped down. If you haven't looked into them yet I saw some great weight loss from doing a carbon driveshaft and TSS Fab sub frames T bar and trans bracket. That was what I moved onto once I did everything else I was able/willing to do. |
