Don't let Kevin see this... he's probably over budget already.

I doubt you'll be able to use more than the motor/trans for a 7 size type car...

Man, if you see a few drops of oil under that car it could be a freak'n nightmare finding the coupling...

Interesting exhaust your making Gale, look forward to seeing how that works out... along with the rest of the car.

The page below has some parts that look like they will work http://www.pacificcustoms.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PC&Product_Code=AC957800&Category_Code= Good Luck

Morgan, yeah you have a pretty good gig going. I know less about photography than I do cars. But if your ever hiring for someone to hold one of those shiny discs to reflect light next to an Italian exotic (car or girl) I'm your man. We're at other ends as far as family; mine are 18 & 14 and your just starting. I imagine your gone a lot and that may become a bit of a downer with the children.

One of the things I like about this site is that it's rare for someone to say something simply to get a rise out of others... of course you can probably go to the "politics" section if that's a person's objective. You got take things with a grain of salt and read things here with the best of intentions. No worries Martin.

wow, he was on the limiter a lot... and shredding tires must be fun

I retired almost 3 years ago from the fire service (30 years). I can relate to 2bone & Martin. My first 20 years were exciting & fun. Started the family a little late and went into management for the family time (and more pay). It was a long 10 years... I missed the direct sense of accomplishment and comradery when going on emergencies. One of the sayings in the fire service is; "200 years of tradition unimpeded by progress". Being a "Hall Lizard" was often frustrating as the time & politics it took to get changes made took it's toll. Seemed either the firefighters (given more responsibilities) or City Hall (requiring more money) were against most big proposals. I do have a sense of accomplishment on bringing the department into the 21st century but it wasn't "fun". Though I was rewarded with a pretty good pension and got out without a serious injury. I was looking forward to just hanging with the kids and playing. I did a little consulting work over the last 2 years and enjoyed the flexible hours and relatively short assignments but am now getting the itch to do something more consistant. Also, it seems you have money or time but rarely both. Wish I could do something relating to cars as I enjoy it.. even though my skills are mainly limited to replacing parts.

where's the Youtube clip;) Like RNR said, we need some pics of that engine compartment.

The wife thinks it's a deathtrap.... but she's glad I'm off the sportbike (one step up in her mind).

I keep thinking of adding a small vent along the back side of the hood's bulge but don't have the nerve to cut it out & what to trim it with (kind of vane in the car's looks department). I think it would help get rid of the hot air... currently everything vents out the bottom pretty much. Kevin, it might help get air over that radiator.

That's a lot of homes! Heard it's officially the largest fire ever in Colorado. Hope they get a handle on it soon.

Nice work! Is that bare aluminum siding or is it silver... going to be some serious heat around there. You might want to line it with this: http://www.koolmat.com/heatmast.shtml Look forward to the dyno.

when in doubt, gas it! Yeah, the tighter the turns the better for more upright bikes, and smaller tires. My friend would eat me alive in 2nd, 3rd gear turns on his supermoto bike but as the turns became bends it was bye-bye.

The only reason I didn't put it behind was the thought that it would be harder to clean the bugs out.

If you still have that supercharger down low on the left side perhaps you could cut an opening in the aluminum on that side... sort of like caterhams have on their bonnet. Man, I don't even know if there's 22 inches to work with there. Your definately pushing the limits... might consider upgrading your cage while your at it. Look forward to another ride if you get out this way again (with the seatbelts on this time).

What's sad is that I saw this a few hours ago.............. and still had a Big Mac/fries tonight! Though it's only about once a month or so. Not that it makes a difference judging by those pics.

Hope you made it thru the earthquake ok.... haven't been in a 7+ quake but we get our share here. Good luck mate.

Pretty neat.... but I can't help thinking what it would cost to buy and maintain. Must be gettting old

Yeah, I have your cage in my files. I like it a lot and was thinking of just changing that bar along the sides to go out more for side impact, and remove the outside upper bars for easier access (maybe have it so they can be taken off/on). Still have to figure out if it's possible with the way my hood opens.

If it would only fit... http://www.hornblasters.com/products/details.php?i=outlaw-228cx-chrome-train-horn-kit&gclid=CLaBlKjm5KMCFRD3iAodjV7MhQ Lots of funny videos Even in a smart car (so maybe a 7)

Boy, shipping surely wasn't cheap... at least it was well protected.

Bought my daughter a 2005 base mini about a month ago, and though not a ball of fire, I can't help but like driving it. I've always feared that if I had to drive on the other side of the road, I'd forget at some point and end up in a crash.... though I guess with the steering wheel on the other side it might keep me (driver in the center of the road).
