JJSPEC Racing - a real turbo prelude!

[Evil Goat]

Here's all the picture's we have of the build of Nick's Prelude. Some high quality, some not so high quality and in no particular order. The car is currently awaiting the shifter to be returned shipped from T1 Motorsports and it will be set...I will have the most recent pictures of the car up next week when hopefully it is all done!

All the bugs should be worked out over the remainder of this race season and Nick should be ready to compete next year!

Final Front end product...Paint is last on the list



Nick wanted the exhaust to exit out of the front bumper....anyone who knows these year model Preludes knows this is near impossible without tubing the front end....but we did it and strengthened the car in the end as well.

















See what we did there? that's how you make the intake/exhaust exit without tubing the front end





Dogbox assembled!
