Picked up my FC yesterday

On my way home yesterday, I kept feeling a little hesitation when I would give it some throttle. My buddy behind me said a few flames shot out, then some smoke. At this time, the car died. I was in the left lane on the highway. I coasted to the breakdown lane to the right. After some investigation, we realized that I may have run out of gas (Cluster still isn't working). Got some gas with my 2-stroke mix and we were good to go. Once I got in my neighborhood, there were two police men standing in the road. When one heard me coming, he jumped. He then grabbed his light and fumbled to turn it on; that was pretty funny. He shined the light in my eyes and yelled for me to slow down. I was honestly going under 20mph. I guess that is what I get for driving a raceport with a 3" catless.

No ticket. I drove by him then came back around. I apologized for it being so loud. He told me to slow down and get the car fixed. I lauged, and said ok. The car is fixed. I put a silencer on it, but it does nothing.

Yup, finally done! Well almost. It is driveable, which is the most important part. I just need a roll bar, coilovers, and small stuff like that. I'll post some pics tonight. The weather finally cleared up, so I can take some pics.

Right now, it is putting down 250 whp and 210 wtq at 6 psi. I want to break it in a little before I go full boost.

$300 for the seat.

Give me some details on the meet.

No ac. I took it out before the v-mount set up, but I don't see how the piping would be routed with the compressor in.
