Got the disassembled road race header from racing beat. Trying to keep as much of the long primaries as possible. It won't be quiet, but it will work properly.

The Borla muffler was just a prop in the last pic, i haven't received the one i'm going to use yet.

/3x3's and 930 cv's are on the way.

Lost my job so progress has been slow, but this project isn't dead. A little more wiring, finish the exhaust and radiator pipes and it'll be running.

Very nice setup! Isn't it better the exhaust pipes pointing back?

Going to another shop for shock mounts and coolant pipes tomorrow. We're predicted to get 6-9 inches of snow, so I may get hosed. Got it all prepped on the trailer ready to haul out.

All it needs to be finished is a steering shaft and exhaust. I'm excited as hell.

Exhaust isn't complete. It's going to collect and tight-radius 180 degrees along the top of the primaries.

Yes, it's licensed and road-legal-ish. I'm limited to about 50 miles per trip thanks to the small fuel cell, so I have to stop for gas a lot.

I keep the registration and insurance cards in a plastic bag taped to the back of the license plate. I can't reach it from in the car, so if I ever get pulled over the cop is going to have to retrieve it.

Thumbs up

GOOD JOB!!!! However IMHO i think you should have connected the cooling system first before starting for the first time,as long as you didn't let it run for more than 50 seconds all is forgiven Once again GREAT JOB..

I can almost be sure it will. I had one that I put a water-pumper GTI engine on and it would carry the front wheels for about 20yds from a dead stop.

All the pics are still there, it's just some weird DNS issue. I need to call my webhost.
