yea we are doing a build up on the motor right now, we tend to go big the first time, here are some pics of the exhaust (still needs to get finished)

THAT is awesome. Those strut bars are CRAZY big.

Just wondering: Why did you leave the console in? Hope you never want to take it out and preserve for resale.

Is that traingular pipe a re-routed exhaust, or a structural member?

Looks like exhaust to me - no pipes in the usual outlets. What I'm wondering is how much all that metal weighs! I think every point is attached to every other point in that car! Pretty wild.

Nice bar and cage, now you just need a 3rotor turbo charged engine to go with them.

yea we built it for road racing, i don't have the weight on the cage, the exhaust is a custom piece we made we had to cut out part of the trunk to make it fit, we are using the stock exhaust ducts for the brake ducts right now.....more to come
