Thanks. Yep it is a custom made piece. I am looking into to having one molded right now, that would be a bolt in pure carbon piece, because this one is wrapped and slightly heavier then the stock dash.

So no one else is upset that mirabile is altering the world market for carbon fiber?

In all seriousness though sweet build. I wish i had 1/10 the budget.

I demand a/v satisfaction!

Good question. They're multi-spark units. Here's a pic of them:

5 wires per coil! To think I was complaining about having to deal with 3 with my inductive coils. It looks like they fit very well on the edge of the motor. That is where I would like to mount mine, but the idle air control motor gets in the way and I want to retain it.

Joe, looks good!

We are mini sumping the bottom of my stock fuel tank and adding the Aeromotive Eliminator external pump and -12 line to -10 to -8 into the rails. Dee wanted more fuel before the tune on Friday. Then I will be cleaning and rolling into HIN Philadelphia. Hope to see some rotary guys there.

Define run. Tune, yes, run, no. Hopefully after this show Scrub is going to come down and install his dual set up.

Look forward to seeing you guys Austin. I have an apartment about 8 blocks from the venue, if you guys want to grab some beers saturday at 12 before the show PM me.

New additions arrived today. Carbon reclinable Veilside seats. Apparently I may have gotten the first delivered order in the country since they fixed the defects...

Nice Mirabile...!! Very impressive. In my opinion I think your FD looks better then Jay Laub's. I almost took the dive for the 3 rotor conversion with a 42r setup, but had to prioritize. It was either buy land for new house or go 3 rotor. It was a close call. Maybe in the future.. :-( Good job ..!!

Click "Switch to windows media player" if the flash player has no sound. Both had sound for me.



How much were those VeilSide seats?
