You're the first one to notice. We are building a new one now.
Nice job on the pics. Next time you come by you should show me how, then you will not have to do anymore. Of course we can always get Gomez to do it. After all he gets that fat check every month.

Excellent use of carbon fiber too!
I think i'll make an animated tutorial for you on how to post pics so nobody has to wait anymore :b
I can't wait to see what you guys do for the strut brace too. It's too bad the stock one didn't fit.

Does that mean your considering going for 50 state legal!! If you get the CARB sticker you can have one of my Kidneys.

The oil feed line is going where it does because that is the size hose we had.
I'll shorten it later. I just wanted to drive the car.
Which I did just awhile ago. I can't lean on it yet 'cause we have no managment.
I just want to put some miles on it to see if there are any problems. Plus we havn't finaized the air cleaner yet.
As soon as I can get the pictures out of my camera I'll post them. These are the ready to drive ones.
A lot of these things have to be cleaned up into production parts yet.
Also we wanted to keep all the original hoses intact so we can go to CARB with a "before" car.

Thanks for the invite but I'm not that close. Besides I just filled it up with $6.00 a gal fuel. Doesn't sound that high anymore does it?

I filled it with 101 race gas so I can drive around. I'm holding it down to 2-3 psi and have no problems. I can tell you there are no driveability problems. It idles perfectly and has no ill effects on any normal driving.
You cannot hear it unless you open the throttle and then it is only a slight whine.
If you know its there and listen for it you can hear it standing next to it. I drove it down between two block buildings just to check and it is there but hardly. Only if you know what to listen for, otherwise you might think it was an alt going out.
BTW it took about 12 hours to do the first install. I think when production parts are available it will take a first timer 8 hrs. After a shop has done it once it'll be down to under 6 hrs.
