Ok, wanted to put in new gauges so I fabbed up the bezel to accept one. While I was at it I put in a new boost controller and took out the old one. Boost controller is 3/4 flush mounted. Since I was tearing up the bezel anyway, I pulled out the Elipse 5435 that has been waiting for install and modded the bezel for that as well.



I redid the alky control box, well, I took it apart and mounted the gain ****, the LED, and the test button through the bezel for a cleaner install. Julio hooked me up with another sticker. Also got a new a-pillar and swapped that in with the new boost gauge.






Now for the fun one!!! Finally got it in. Custom bent 6 pt. cage. All 6 points are tig welded directly to the frame.






Oh yea, put in the BK kit and installed a 6 pt. Impact Racing harness.

I'm making about 800 to the wheels. Tuned down to 787 right now but am running fat so I'm gonna get back on the dyno for more tuning soon. I am running STS twin turbos and a 402.

Very very nice, I particularly like how the FP gauge is held in the console. Can you buy that kind of console, or does it have to be done as a custom molding job? More details please! :d

Used to be a DD but not any more. No on the carputer but may do one later. It is a navigation/dvd setup. The bars are completely removable from the car. Lemme know if you are interested in one.
