5 minute(s) of a 27 minute read

Trying to build this thing right, @mazdatrixofficial goodridge brake lines to complete the brake system. Also got the piece de resistance back and installed. Been using the same driveline guy for 6 years and he always takes care of me. #stardomfab #stardombuilt#formuladrift #cagedrx8 #vegasdrift#v8rx8 #lsswapped #lsswaptheworld#lsrx8 #driftcar #rx8 #rx8nation#mazdarx8 #drifting #driftlife#fabrication #fabricator#onedayatatime #progressreport#driftrx8 #rx8drift #mazdatrix

Remote mount shifter is basically done and works perfectly. Still need to tie the 2 bars to eliminate flex. The handle is made from a weld stud used to put base plates in concrete or masonry. Had a friend machine out some threads for a heim and cut the rest on a cnc plasma . Going to dip the handle in polyurethane so i can use it in the heat lol. #stardomfab #stardombuilt#formuladrift #cagedrx8 #vegasdrift#v8rx8 #lsswapped #lsswaptheworld#lsrx8 #driftcar #rx8 #rx8nation#mazdarx8 #drifting #driftlife#fabrication #fabricator#onedayatatime #progressreport#driftrx8 #rx8drift #tigwelding#ar5transmission

Complete shifter ✔
Plumb hydro and bleed brake system ✔
Mount poser steering reservoir ✔
Knocking things of my list is satisfying in so many ways, still having a hard time bleeding the clutch by myself but it will get done. Now i need to get the cage done so i can paint the inside and run the wiring. #stardomfab#stardombuilt #formuladrift#cagedrx8 #cagedrx8 #v8rx8#lsswapped #lsswaptheworld #lsrx8#driftcar #rx8 #rx8nation #mazdarx8#drifting #driftlife #fabrication#fabricator #onedayatatime #ripstick#hydroebrake

Mocking up the hood vents from @blacktiemotors they have supported me on my last build and continue to do so on this one. #lsswap#lsswaptheworld #stardombuilt#stardomfab #driftcars #drifting #rx8#rx8nation #driftrx8 #rx8drift#formuladrift #vegasdrift #mazdarx8#hoodvents #fabrication #fabricator

Test fitted my bumper today to see what I will need to mount it. Definitely on the fence about it. Without sideskirts it looks funny. Guess we will see how it looks later. Still need to order all the mounting brackets for it since the previous owner got rid of them.  #stardomfab#stardombuilt #beastbars #lsswap#lsswaptheworld #drifting #driftcars#rx8drift #driftrx8 #formuladrift#vegasdrift #phoenixdrifters #rx8#rx8nation #mazdarx8

While I wait for more money, aren't we all, I decided to do things that do not cost me a thing. Center console was gone so decided to make dye with what I had. Simple panel with my logo in it. There's more to it than this but you'll have to wait and see. Super stoked on how it's coming out. #stardomfab#stardombuilt #drifting #rx8#rx8nation #driftrx8 #rx8drift#formuladrift #vegasdrift #cncplasma#dimpledie #fabricator #fabrication
