lots of changes going on with the car....

new fuel cell made by Justin (nubVR) to have internal 044's thanks to Pete @ IE with his mount plates. then anodized the rail and cell for protection against E-85. also did some hardline fuel lines too with SS lines.

built some aerodynamics stuff, turbo inlet and headlight cover out of fiberglass.

got some solid strut tops with spherical bearings.

made cast control arms work for the rear, stronger and hopefully the better ball joint design will help keep alignments.

changed the front steering arm attachment to help with trans removal faster.

added logging capability for the fuel pressure.

doing a staging brake setup.

made some changes to shifting, short throw and stiffer center return detent so it springs back to center better for hitting 3rd gear. just stuff i make, little fab stuff that i like to do.

went to a steel flywheel for the twin disc setup.

Accusump for dry start pre-oiling.

still doing changes to the motor..... want more clearance on the rod bearings. (have .0015 want .003)

Pete is going to make a custom exhaust cam, as the one that i have is way too big for the application. its more an N/A cam in reality.

car may be down at DJM in Jan/Feb.... and the car has been seeing some magazine time lately as well. Pg 32 of the Dec '10 PVW, pg 54 of the Jan '11 Eurotuner (so i was told). also was displayed at the Grand Opening of the new Audi dealership in Wilsonville. Joey and Derek took care of setting it up to show then as i was at work.

Teh sex, nothing like some gin-u-ine race parts, they always make street bolt-ons look pussy in comparison. The inlet also turned out really well. lolz at the 2/3 cylinder head in the background :001_cool:

yep. some folks are out there to git it dun.

and that 3/4 head, thats whats left of a gift i made for my friends/sponsors @ Integrated Engineering. a display piece for their manual timing belt tensioner kit. at the car show Pacific Waterlands, where my car was their booth display car (seen on pg 54 of the Jan '11 Eurotuner, BTW) they had actually brought people over to the car to show them exactly where the piece went and what it did. they had it displayed on the table just as a part. it was just somethin i thought of to maybe help them out a lil.
