Forum based on Europe/Norway wouldn't be very "fruitful" place for that discussion  Grin

Very nice car BTW.

Clean rig. I thought I could smell the good fuel on the Christmas cruise! Hey.....so whats the deal on the carpet and headliner. Are you runnin' it that way for weight? Or a certain look?If so, how much do you think you saved? Your engine bay is all business. I like it. Later.

Welcome Jason, you're a nice guy, met you @ Nicks a few months back. Hope to see you 'round more. That car is ultra-cool, and sounds really mean too. Didn't realize it was such a big stick under the decklid....cool job.

Let me elaborate on Sheep's bit....  every once in a while they undo the straps and let him roam around the institution. Seems like there must be a computer in the community area.

Carlos (Carlita) is harmless, unless you're a dead bird.

   Running the car no headliner no carpet just cause I think it looks clean and simple that way. The weight is nothing much I'm sure maybe 20, 30 lbs?  just think it's clean and simple all business kinda the theme of the car. I may end up putting headliner and carpet later in the year or never not sure yet.   

  Ratto Carlos Sheep ha ha ha looks like it can get fun here real quick  Grin

 Thanks for all the great greetings and compliments it's nice to have a forum that is possitive to hang out in......     Jason

fun is an understatement. Too bad you missed the afternoon of disaster up at my place back in October. Rainbow spectrum of vomit colors, unending beers, superheroes trying to fly down staircases, and all kinds of other monkey business going on in garage....  I don't think Sarge stopped laughing all day.
