K-Swapped EG4 Build… Part 3
A feeling of satisfaction… That’s exactly the state of mind Verdon is in right now. With the EG practically completed at the moment, his goal has been met. From our last update, Verdon has since gotten the car tuned and also added a few goodies to the car, from the performance aspect as well as aesthetics and comfort. We both thought it would be a good idea with the car completed to go out and take a few shots for you guys. Today we’ll be taking a look at the new upgrades Verdon has made plus some random exterior shots that were taken. I hope you guys enjoy….
For those who would have missed the build or want to do some reading on the build, I’ve provided the link below to the build…
The most notable change to the interior is the addition of these red reclinable bucket seats…
After driving around for a bit, Verdon realized the stock brakes were a joke when it came to containing the power of the K20A engine and opted to go with a Wilwood upgrade.
In the process of refining the interior, he ditched the steering wheel and replace it with a deep corn counterpart with red stitching to match with the new Momo floor mats.
Being very particular and going with the overall theme of the car, Verdon also picked up a new shift knob…
I hope you guys enjoyed the photos, that’s it for today’s post. More than likely this will not be the last you see of Verdon’s ride as he already has some ideas he is toying around with in his head. Thanks for taking a look…
Track Bred EG6 Build… Part 19
Crunch time! It’s exactly that right about now… Even with the phases of development of the car being on schedule for the race meet, the team ran into some issues and making the event started to look as though it may not happen anymore. Things were looking pretty bad, qualifying had taken place and the car still hadn’t made it to the dyno as yet. Jerry managed to squeeze in some time on the dyno the night before race-day and was able to get a mild tune. Unfortunately I don’t have any dyno footage to show you guys but however, for the limited time that Jerry had at his disposal he was able to put out 240whp and 170 lb-ft of torque.
Another major exterior change to go along with the redesigned front that the car saw for the upcoming race meet, was a newly designed livery of which I took the liberty of making sure there were enough photos so you guys can check it out. I’ve also included a couple shots of the final stages before completion.
As always the link to the previous posts can be found below for those who may need to catch up on this build…

A closer view of the completed hood…
A look at the Setrab oil cooler fully mounted with the lines finally ran…
A few post back I’ve mentioned that from this race meet onward, Jerry will be using nitrogen in his tires. To accommodate for this change, an additional valve was needed…
That sticky Hoosier A6 rubber…
On arrival at the dyno…
A glance at the completed interior which is miles away from where it started…
Livery looking really sharp…
Patiently waiting to hit the dyno…
That’s all for today’s update, thanks for taking a look and stay tuned to find out what happened on race-day…
