[Sven7]

It appears you've gotten it nearly road-ready. How are the inspections going?

getting a LOT more interest from the import honda crowd then the mileage folks, so I bought a turbo for one car, and a nitrous kit for the next.

Very nice. I like the way this thing is also going to turn a few heads with the styling too. What that front end from?

This could be a blast! I like the aggressive front end.

Its great the photos are back up at NVNTRS.com. Also, neither the turbo nor the nitrous will reduce fuel economy. Perhaps a key is high performance.

They sure would give you the opportunity to "reduce your fuel economy".

drmiller- Glad to see progress and thanks for the pics. Can't wait to see it roll. Going to run it on the Salt?

That looks pretty cool! Looking forward to seeing the pieces all together.

Any updates, Doug? Any new pics and/or results?

got front seat in, core support built, suspension done AGAIN (but need to fix some stuff yet), emergency brake set in, floor in.

Figured out a windshield, but not mounted yet.

off to the body guy - a buddy does custom cars, I did a bunch of favors for him, so he is going to have one of his guys spend 3 or 4 days polishing up the body.

Excellent! I've been swimming through molasses, in comparison.

Ken, as you know, it is TOUGH. Everything you touch, messes up 3 other things.

touch one of those, and 3 more get messed up.

Eventually you just put something together, then start building forward until it doesn't work, rip it all off, and start over.

I've put 5 different core supports on. and ripped 4 of them back off.
