Colts Build Thread: fondly to be called GRanola
Since I finally acquired my GRC today I figured I’d start my official build thread and update as the car progresses.
I plan on documenting pretty much everything, modifications, track days (1/4mi and track, I’m in Bowling Green KY right now for work so I have Beech Bend and NCM), designing parts in CAD as well as how they’re made etc. I’m a design engineer by trade so the GRC parts are just a fun side project for me.
This is going to be a freaking blast! Im coming from a MKV Supra so this will be a fun change, I know my dog thanks me for not having to sit in the front seat anymore haha.
Anyway here some pictures from delivery day, the first one was from when I happened to drive by the dealer in the morning and the rest are from when I actually went to pick her up.
The paint overall is pretty clean but there’s some light microabrasions in the clean that I’ll be polishing out before I ceramic coat her.

So I did a thing. 😅 being on the waitlist for the valientes wing and with how annoying it is trying to find a not insanely marked up CE. I scored a CE hood from @Ricecake that was a deal! Not to mention a fairly close drive for me. All the vents and stuff are already in my garage and waiting.

To reconfirm. Yes the CE hood will fit in the core with the seats down.
I picked up my CE hood from a member on here recently and had been back and forth between attempting to wrap it myself or pay someone to do it. I tried doing it myself and honestly, pain in the fing ass!
I ended up taking it to a local place and watching how they did it. For me the hood was the missing part for my core since the valientes wing will take care of the rear aspect. Got the hood today, I installed the vents and she’s ready to go on the car and be coated.

Cleaned, clay barred and then ceramic coated the hood to give it time to dry before I put it on tomorrow. It’ll be 24-36hrs before I wash the car just to make sure everything seals correctly. Not as perfect as I’d like but this is temporary and I’m also not comfortable going more heavily with polishing the vinyl I did a super light pass with some polishing solution to remove any microabrasions but I’m not going crazy
