Coupe 669 Graduation

[SeattleDad]

Well it is finally time to graduate this car.... I almost never post over here since trying to maintain two threads seemed overwhelming. I thought it would be ok to graduate her here though.

it has been pretty much done since last spring after the paint was complete but I still was fiddling with the carpet and my backup camera.

And... yeah the sidepipes need help but I wear it as a badge of honor since all of that happened at a track day when I was really working the engine out....otherwise they stayed back....ceramic coating is on the way this winter.

Ok The specs.....

Engine - 2014 Coyote - stock with the exception of a Tune from Bamatune
The engine was moved ~2.5 inches forward by slotting the engine mounts and spinning the motor mounts (Thanks for the idea Mark D!!)
Exhaust - GP headers roadster header with 4 into 4 changed to a 4 in 1 3" v-band flange
The rest of the exhaust is custom3" mandrel bent tube with turbo tube mufflers added.
Transmission - TKO600 with tall 5th gear... I do love that choice...highway cruising is 70mph @2000rpm
- Rear mounted shift position but with the engine moved forward it sits where a mid mount would be.

Rear End - Lincoln 8.8 aluminum diff with 3.27 final drive and Eaton TruTrac differential

Wheels/Tires - Cobra 10th anniversary 17" wheels with Nitto NT05 tires 275/45/17 and 315/35/17

No power steering or brakes

Brakes - FF 6 Piston Wilwoods
- Forte 4 piston rear Wilwoods with internal parking brake

Aluminum - Storage area below rear hatch above fuel tank
- 2BKing Coyote aluminum panels
- Squared off firewall making it much larger and able to completely house the AC/Heat unit
- Since I moved the engine forward I did not have to touch the passenger foot well at all
- Almost all panels powdercoated gunmetal gray or crinkle black
- Headlight bucket aluminum panels made to cover the hole in front of the wheels
- Fat Mat used pretty much everywhere

Interior/Electronics
- Digital Guard Dawg RFID start system
- Southern Hot Rods Air Conditioning
- Defrost vents & 2 heat/AC vents per seat.
- Bluetooth OBDII scanner feeding a Galaxy Tablet
- License plate mounted backup camera feeding a WiFi transmitter to the Tablet
- 35lb door actuators wired into Digital Guard Dawg keyfob
- LED brake and turn signals and LED headlights
- Signal Dynamics turn signal kit including the mod to use all 4 rear lights as brake lights
I have 2 momentary push buttons that control left and right turn signals
- 1 Roca marine wiper for the drivers side... AC and Coyote ECU prevented a passenger wiper.

Paint/Bodywork
- Molded in Spoiler
- Vent cutouts on the rear were filled in
- passenger wiper mount was removed
- back side undercoated with truck bed liner with the exception of part of the hood that was painted body color
- Hood roundel and stripes painted in and then clear coated until there is no transition in the paint
- Toyota Inferno Orange (4XO) with Gloss Black
- Paint work done by Gary Correia of Albany Oregon
- Quality headliner installed prior to body installation

So what did the whole thing cost you ask.... well I am happy to share that with anyone interested. I will say that I posted a thread well over a year ago "how-you-spend-50k-unpainted-coupe" that lays out a good amount of it.... but there has been much more since.

Well I am sure I will think of more to say but here are the pics...
