Well there she is on her first few runs ... she's not fully assembled yet but she runs mighty fine:

I can't barely launch her in first gear from all the torque ... second gear launch is what it was in that video.

Looks and sounds nice.

I wouldn't call that a launch, you were just accelerating. Show us what happens when you "launch" in 1st gear.

It's awesome that you've got the thing in driving condition! Can't wait to see it in person.

How is the steering?

I didn't think I'd like the green at first, but omfg! its beautiful!!! I think you should keep the front bumper as is, gives it the "raw" look...lol what the hell am I laughing at, you should see mine! Maybe we'll start a fad. It could become the new in thing with the ricer crowd!

to be honest ... i actually really like the agressive look of it like that ... and have been very tempted to keep it off

Here's another video ... this one I actually shot before the other one hence the roughness at idle. But like i said it was just because the Coolant temp sensor wasn't hooked up, the things one sensor can do eh.
