You might want to put a cover on your battery with a drain line to the exterior...

Hydrogen gas+Fuel cell = Death...

lol ok, well I'm sure it'll be fine. Fuelcell looks bad *** though!

Are you going to remove the gas tank or use the fuel cell for high octane on those days you want to **** off vette owners?

How much fuel does that tank hold? At the track we consume around 20 litres/ 100km in NA so expect higher fuel consumption in a FI car.

I bet you could have fit a 22 gallon tank in there with no issues.

I drive long distances often getting 400+ miles to a tank would be stellar.

Good looking car!

Any reason why you haven't blacked out that white M on your intercooler?

I think it would look alot cleaner.... Not hating, just a thought

Going back a bit I noticed the custom exhaust manifold you made. For one it looks awesome, very good job. From my thinking the waste gate doesn't really look like its in a very efficient spot. So i guess my question is, is it in a less than optimal spot? I could be wrong though I'm still learning about everything.

Wow, what a great build and a sleeper. Don't know if this was mention, but what are the specs for your wheels and tires?

Beautiful build. I'm new to the rotary scene, but I know a good build thread when I see one.
