Just about finished with engine bay. Harness for autometer gauges and starter wire is all that is needed.

Disappointing update, while tuning the car on the dynbo the night before Halloween bash, the motor seperated and oil shot out at 100+ psi. Luckily we saw it and immediately shut off the motor. Luckily no fire.
Only good news is that now the motor is being rebuilt with some kind of port work and really good seals. 450hp here we come.

sucks that it had to happen right as everything was finally coming together. At least now with the motor out you can look over and see if anything else needs to replaced/reinforced...

shitty timing, but better now than the 3rd/4th event into JustDrift when time is critical.

I am glad it happened at this time. Worse on the track with hood down and turbo hot!
The engine and tranny were the last stock items. I just wish I could drift something!!!
It has been over a year. It is so hard to be patient.
I hope to kill it in 2012.
My goal is to spend whatever it takes to build the most capable drift machine (short of v8) and get the right people needed to help set up the car, Hotline.
That way, if I can't win or place most races, then I know it is my fault and not the car.
I am fine with that. If that is the case, then I will sell everything and buy a boat and go fishing everyday!

Oh thank god. I was afraid he's ditch it and buy a boat. I'll be glad to see this thing driving.

Side question... did the rollover have anything to do with the motor blowing? Or was that complete coincidence?
