Last weekend was a busy one but a success. Clutch, trans, driveshaft, exhaust, intake, radiator, bleed clutch slave cylinder etc. Went to fire up the car and the fuel pump wasn't going, so i swapped in the 05 ecu and ignition i had and viola! I suspect the ecu i got with the car was bad, who knows where or how long it's been sitting. I'll swap in the door locks and truck lock next time i get some free time so the car has a matching key set all the way around. Car runs well and sounds great. About all i have left is to install the ohlins coilovers, rotors, carbotech pads, oil cooler and an alignment.Then i'll just need some new harnesses and get the seat fabbed up into a position that's more suited for a guy who is 6'4". Very pleased with how this car has turned out, i've taken my time to make everything proper for a well set up track car. Free time has been my only real hangup as i'm slammed with pipeline work till late fall.

If you are not working bring the car to autocross and shake it down.

Ohlin suspension installed. Also installed a new set of Front UCAs with poly bushings and SPC ball joints, and new rear rotors.

Shocks side by side
