My buddy was doing this with some metal filler that came in a tube type deal, stuff hardened really nicely I just had no idea how it would respond to the cooling down and heating up.
Curious as to what you used.
I think that looks pretty badass...

WOW!!!!!!!!
LD9 for life, remember? Brad and i have no idea what this "eco" mumbo jumbo looks like
Curt, would you mind trying to post that video that didn't work before, again? I just read this entire thread for the 3rd time this month and found myself excited agin and again and again... It pleased me in ways silk boxers never can.
Joe - Just used regular old body filler. I couldn't tell you how it's going to hold up. I know it does ok with vibrations and such, my bezel is filled with the same stuff and doesn't show any signs of wear and tear.
The valve cover will probably not make it's way onto my engine. I've got other plans now that include an entirely different valve cover and head all together. For those that know the ecotec family, this one's already smooth...from the factory.
Which vid you want...how bout I give an attempt at everything I've got to this point of the car this year. I've got no vids of hi boost yet, but have been tuning it for the last couple weeks. I've gotten her to 28.9psi but ran into some slight issues that I'm working on resolving.

the 2nd video is pretty much what you look like everytime i see you a jersey on and a cigarette hanging out of you mouth.
Not a jersey, it's one of my old tech shirts lol.
The smoke is standard equipment though.

Here's the better pics with a little more distance. Car looks goofy, but at least the tires will stick now lol.
Tire size is 26x9.5 for those wondering.

I wasnt able to track down a slick in a 16 inch rim size. Where did U pick these up?
Got them on a trade with Travis, but have been able to find multiple 16's
From Summit
Tirerack, Different Tire from what I've got.
You must not have looked very hard.
Tried to find MT's that would work, only way you're going to get a MT on there is with an 8" - 9" wide rim.

LOL im not a eco fiend...
i actually like the 'grids'
I'm tired of wasting my time... now I'm breakin' free.
Yup those should help.
Btw, did you do anything spacer wise for the 9.5" tires not to hit the shocks? My 9" wide drag radials are only like a quarter inch away from my Teins.

yeah...i'd really like to see those tires stick in the rain that seems to be as good a possibility as ben not blowing something up...or anthony not just blowing something
and yeah, get it down here seems i've seen more fast cars out lately around the city that would be nice to surprise
Mmmmmmm....Skunk food.
Working on getting a pair of Dunlop Direzza's for the 16's. Hopefully they will be able to at least get the car to hook all the way through 3rd, as of now, she cooks the summitomo's right around the 4500-5000 mark.

Yes I turned the lights off in the garage lol.
