Just making anyone interested in Casy's 97 GTS race car build


So far some pretty cool parts. He's been working with some companies to custom develop some high performance parts (radiator, oil cooler, Brakes)

Seen some of the thumbnails, but haven't really dug into the build yet. Hopefully a nice reference for others out there interested in building up a gen 2 for track service.

I watched all the segments and he's really pretty frikking clueless about the car. That car has EPICALLY BAD corner gap! The fascia is bolted to the wrong side of the splash shield/core support. The car is sitting up high after shocks/tires because he doesn't have slip plates under them (at least on 1 side) to let it settle. And, the place to measure ride height is between the ground and the frame rails in line with the axles. An absolutely beautiful radiator package that simply didn't fit, so he never finished the segment. He should have just sent the stock radiator to the mom&pop shop for a thicker core to fit the OE tanks. Any time you're doing a lot of front end engine bay work, you should take 4 nuts off, remove the hood and carefully stand it up in the corner. Amazing PFC brake components that make me very jealous, but he will never need all that stopping power. As thick as the pads are, he'll never wear them out.
