It's VERY impressive. And the engine bay looks very nice w/ all the crap removed. Very nice. Hopefully we'll see it at Rob's BBQ.

Nope, not yet. Maybe in 2006.

The car hasn't been driven since May of 1998. I bought a 20B for it in early '99 but I changed my mind and sold it. Meanwhile, I was driving and drag racing my Supra and couldn't be bothered to do much of anything with the FD.
Then in late '99 I started the V8 project and wasted a year or so waiting on my conversion parts from Grant Robbins of Granny's Speed Shop. I also wasted a year and a half having the engine built because I was being strung along by a thief named Mark Montalvo. During that time I sold the Supra and bought a Z06 Corvette and still couldn't be bothered to do much with the FD.
I work on it a little bit now and then, managed to get it repainted, developed my own engine cradle and '03+ Cobra 8.8" IRS conversion kit, finished about 75% of a sleek headlight kit, got my engine 95% complete, and made a dozen changes to the suspension as well as amassing most of the parts I need to finish it, but basically I just don't have a lot of spare time to work on it, and don't really feel like working on it when I do.

The doors are just that Dave...just doors. Might get an ooh or ahh for a second or two, then people are like "oh yea I saw that before..." and move on hehe. I need to get my engine bay finished...that's what's up.
Jim...not being ****, but so do you actually plan on finishing it up and keeping it? Or are you just slowly losing interest?

can you point me to information that says that a non-abs car will stop quicker with a skilled driver?

I hope mine is straighted out by then. My manifold and exducer housing are at a machine shop right now. I was having trouble getting them to seal so I had to get them machined flat. The pedistols that is. Also I am still waiting on a new wastegate. But if i have my car then certainly. I would let you give it a test drive if you like.
