Andy nice to see the long block just about done So do you know what changes they made to these heads over the last incarnation? and why was it you couldnt show a picture of the ports a week or so ago but can now? did I miss something? did you ever get an exhaust size recomended as those ports look bigger than 1 3/4 on there own I do like the way you are doing that front airdam,having access to that wheel is a bonus,I had to make mine in two pieces and weld it together cheers richie |

Getting there! Do you think you will have the car ready this season? If so, would you consider bringing it over for the Scandinavian week in August where you can race it on both Tierp (Bug Run Classic) and Gardermoen (SCC)? There you will meet some of the nicest guys around and also test your car on some of the best tracks in Europe.

This is going to be one cool ride!
Won't the air dam touch the ground when you open the flip front?
