Absolutely fabulous.



Although... Dark AN fittings would look a lot cleaner.

Good to see the mani arrived OK. Still looks as clean as the day I put it in the dishwasher

Small/big update. I'm about to pick up the car from fab once I get back from a current trip, and then it should be time to wire and start it up. I also received my EMS4 from Andrew a few weeks ago; I'm almost there! Hopefully it'll be on the dyno and off to paint within a month!

It's a bummer, but the headlights are permanently open. It was the best way to route the piping.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but the design of that cage was not well thought out. Take a look at any sanctioning body rules for guidance in the future, even if you are looking to be innovative.

This car is retarded. Thanks to Andrew at Trackspeed for all of the help and the guys at Road Race for the amazing tune!

Huge torque numbers for a non-VVT head. Holy crap. I assume the head isn't stock?

Just some small stuff done to the head, not much really; running the Volvo springs, 1mm over valves and some mild head work done by Millennium.
