No sir, not for me. It says "This Content Is Currently Unavailable". So, whatever that means. I guess it's facebook saying I need to turbo my car before I can view that. haha

Couple small little changes coming. Time to go to the dyno again, I'm guessing. Sneak peak of the old Slicktop on my new garage toy.

Time for a little update.

Finally took care of my completely destroyed engine under panels.

Also threw this beauty in. 1 Piece Aluminum Drive Shaft.

And last buy not least, finally installed the new Specialty Z 2.25" resonated test pipes to replace the 2.5" non resonated pipes that I had in there. Also popped all new exhaust hangers from Test pipes back. Maybe a little heavier, maybe a little less power, but for my sanity, I had to quiet this thing down a bit. It sounds less like a Cessna now and more like a muted Messerschmitt.

4 Resonators of goodness.

Also, being able to take pictures directly under the car is not only mildly terrifying, but sort of awesome. Makes me want to clean though. It's dirty as hell under there. Old car is old.

Obviously, Dyno to follow to see if any performance gain with the drive shaft. Maybe this weekend. I'll see if I can get in there.

Nice build man! I'm only like 2 hrs from you, down in Wichita, I really like the shaved rear stuff, can I do the same thing with a tt? I mean I assume I could but with the spoiler there would probably be a little more work? My car already needs some body work and paint, so I might as well do something like that while I'm at it. Friggin love the look though yours is clean as hell. I might have to drive up there and check out some autocross stuff next year, my cars down for a bit doing valve cover gaskets and various other things. Are most of the events held there in Kansas City?

Just gotta lift from the manufacture specified lifts points, I work with these lifts every day ( mechanic ) and I've never seen nothing go wrong, just have to know the lift points and it will be sturdy!

Wonderful birthday present from my wife. Install will have to wait for at least a week or so, as I needed some additional hardware for the side mount seats.
