Tricky tricky!! I like it though. What's that inside the box?

Thanks guys
I wish I could take all the credit.... A friend did most of the work.
I helped with the ideas, he made them work.
It was kinda a test to see how it worked. So far so good. I might try to change a few things with it.. Im not sure yet..
After reading Howards thread, I have some questions for him. His answers might persuade my future plans..

Thanks guys. She is now running an ASpec GT35R w/ Rotary Extreme's redesigned monster VMIC. I ceramic-coated areas that I would benefit from it, if not, just polish then. I will post up new specs and better photos when she comes back home from the shop. A lot of new toys not shown/clear in the pic.

Tam/FDZero, whenever I'm at the shop and customers stop by I always pop the hood to show them what's underneath and they're always bug-eyed with amazement
