Default RATPACK Hampton Roads Mod start

Hi all,

I finally got most of the parts in and I am starting my mods today. I am installing a MagnaCharger TVS 1900 supercharger, rear widebody kit, new tires/wheels, gauges, radiator and a few other things. This should keep me bust for a few days/weeks.

If anyone would like to stop by and check out the new TVS 1900 kit or just to laugh at me, PM me and I will send my address and phone number. Beer will be cold.

I started a thread for the TVS 1900 install.

It will quite some time before I put it on the track again. I have to see if the fuel pump can keep up and then I will have to worry about the bottom end giving up. My credit cards are maxed out so I can not blow an engine right now.

I am starting my break tomorrow and will be back to work on the TVS 1900 install. If all goes well it should be running this weekend. If bored and want to stop by, PM me for my address/phone.

Finally it looks like I am making progress. Friday I put on the new Z06 rear Quarter with the new rear meats. Yesterday I installed the new motor mounts and bolted up everything on the bottom. Today I just finished bolting down the TVS 1900. Now to finish so I can fire it up in a day or two.
