Started breaking it in... car is so ****ing dirty from us crawling all over it, its pretty rough. And a bird found it in the parking lot already today.... lol

I actually love this clutch... no clue why it's so much easier to drive than the single disk that came out.... and it doesn't chatter at all. The other clutch did unless you hit the release perfect. As long as it holds the horsepowerz, could not be happier.

This pic caught the color change in the direct sunlight.

well she has three sets of rear wheels now....
15's. Yes, they will be satin black.

i'll wind up selling the 17's to recoup some of the $$$ the drag spindles cost (must have to fit 15's).

it's been a while. a lot of stuff going on at the moment.

The punch out list is 10 items total, before it's going on the dyno. I want it tuned mid October at the latest, sick of waiting. If it doesn't make a fair amount more steam on less boost, i will be disappointed. plan to push it pretty hard, so hopefully this motor enjoys the new **** and doesnt kill itself.

-remove fuel system, clean filters and send out the id2000's for cleaning/flow match
-replace rear spindles
-redo entire vacuum setup
-redo breather / catch can setup
-ground nitrous system
-finish purge setup
-change plugs and wires again
-install engine mounts
-wire new boost controller and install c02. c02 is a maybe, not completely sold on needing it
-order/replace alternator with the big boy mechman




It's still at a local shop, odysseyfab















Wheels turned out super clean. I went with a custom block off plate instead of the billet spec. center caps that protrude lol.





spindles




worlds most expensive lug nuts




some of the misc hoses/fittings and the vac block.

Did you weld that titanium? Great beads!

A little colorful in one spot (little overheating) True art work none-the-less!

It is rare to find that kind of work!
