Bakerjd's Build Thread - Project Honey Badger

[bakerjd]

Initial Post:

"Hey guys,

I figured I should document some of what I am doing with the car as it's lined up for some atypical events. The car is set up to be the R&D vehicle for Corsa Performance in Berea, OH. They will be developing their entire system on my car so I will be able to provide updates accordingly via this thread. Also, as of now, I intend to go FI right out of the gates but am waiting on pricing to be released (SEMA). I will post more information and pictures of the car later this week when I get the chance. Stay tuned."

Cool you got a list of mods they are working on? Love the TY man, how do you like it compared to your screaming yellow?

 

[bakerjd]

I'll be updating the original post as I go. I'll be sure to include a detailed list of the "build". They are designing the entire system, full cat-back, to my knowledge. Both the Xtreme and Sports will be available for the '15 Mustang. Much more to come in terms of that aspect of the "build".

Cant wait brother!

 

[Vernichtung]

Please ask Corsa to at least offer the option of 4.5-inch tips. 4-inch tips, in my opinion, are just too small and leave too much room around the exhaust tip cutouts on the rear fascia.

Congrats brother

Nor sure where the ball was dropped for me
I ordered in may and still nothing

I'm glad you got yours
Can't wait for mine

Updated original post. Here are more pictures from when I picked the car up.

 

[bakerjd]

Made my first purchase for the car today. Three-piece True Forged Chicanes, satin black with chrome assembly bolts, 20x9.5 up front, 20x10.5 in the rear! Can't wait!

 

[MELLOWYELLOW06]

Glad it went well for you brother.

 

[Brian@Vossen]

Nice!

 

[GTsquid]

Looks good man. Really wanna see how this looks once you swap them in.

 

[bakerjd]

Thanks guys! I'll be sure to post plenty of pictures once they arrive and I have the car back from Corsa. Should be around Thanksgiving. Now I'm trying to figure out what tires to run. Continental ExtremeContact DWS and Cooper RS3-S's are the front runners as of now as my options of the wheels are limited for 305s or 315s in the rear. Looking to get decent tread life out of them as I plan to drive the car frequently or I'd go with Toyo R888s or a radial.

Nice wheels!
