Photo bucket killed all those pics oh well...and I’ve been waiting on parts since January...still waiting on headers which is gonna be December sometime....maybe. If I don’t get the vorshlag headers by then, I’ll just do something else. I really want long tubes though.

In the meantime, since it’s gutted, I’ll prep the transmission tunnel and engine bay and run the electronics...at least get everything else to fit right.

Headers is my biggest hold up.

New hood. Thanks @Dan37BRZ ! Hope it vents the engine bay enough.

Got some other carbon parts I keep flip flopping on putting on too...

Love that hood!

This is awesome. These days anyone with the funds can buy a fast 50-60k car off the lot.

Rather than do that, I like that you decided to basically build a brand new, top component and power, car that never existed from the factory.

You get it! Thanks! Something different and something that I built...hopefully it turns out as good as we hope!

Fast forward a few weeks. Pure automotive dialed me in with some badass hardware and software in their motec system.
