Thank you all for the very kind comments! It gives me motivation to be in the garage and perhaps I'll get finished one day

Some things has happened since last time I updated, but I've been bissy with work too. Anyway, since summer is coming fast I must get going... Especially since I already booked alot of track days and autocross events!

Some pictures:

down on the floor again with the same 750 lbs springs as before, although 2" higher due to lighter engine! The engine rebuild resulted in a weight reduction of almost 140 lbs (I think, don't have the numbers in my head)!
The front end will be lowered again, but first after I installed my new 1150 lbs/in springs.




I really hate working with electrics... however, the instructions from electromotive are pretty well structured. Some of my sensors has three cords instead of two... Hmmm, will probably be a problem.... :(


New instrument dash. Carbon fibre and enough instruments to keep an eye of the most important things.


It's not alot of room but it works!! I wanted to place the alternator as low as possible due to it's weight. The aluminum piece is just temporary, you'll se the finished result on another picture.

I spend alot of research on the net to find a couple of headers that I was satisfied with (good HP and ground clearance). I decided to go with Tri-Y's and got in touch with whatever his name was on the PYforum. He sad there were no problem with making headers with O2 bungs and that was the last I heard from him... Obviously, there are alot of people in line waiting for headers and I don't dare spoiling the summer because I can't get them in time so I decided to keep on looking...
