great build man, looks great.
How many miles on engine?
how did you like the fueled kit? Thats the one im leaning towards the most especially since im thinkng I may go automatic with mine.
+ 1 on this
and PLEASE do a side exhaust like all import guys do it these days.
Hell I 'll even chip in to pay for it if you promise to get pics of domestic and import owner's first impressions!

Not sure what you mean by "side exhaust." It will be 3" y-pipe into a single 3.5" out the back with a 4" tip welded on. So it will have a single pipe out the back in the factory location (driver side of rear bumper) if that is what you mean?
...and there will be plenty of pics and videos when the car is on the road

friend took this picture, I think it looks cool
Custom made a throttle cable bracket to utilize the factory cable
From automatic 2.4L to manual 5.7L
Custom made a bracket to move the shifter stick further back, little trimming of the factory lower boot, looks and feels great
Finished the shifter assembly and center console area

It's been a while, but finally have some real updates!
Just got the wire harness in and it's almost done. Should be on the road this month. I'll post up some pics when I get a chance.

The beast is finally on the road!
Just need to do a couple things to clean it up and make it perfect.
Here is a picture I took of the first fill up at the gas station:

Very clean car. How about some oilpan/trans crossmemeber & exhuast pics? I am VERY jelous of your new ride. LOL. So, how do those drive? Does it feel like you are really low to the ground like a Miata?

I'll take a lot more pictures when it's [I]really[I] finished; basically just got the car driving right now.
It's open headers right now, should have the exhaust finished sometime next week. I'll take some pics when it's all together. I really haven't got on it hard because the open headers is just way to loud to enjoy driving it.
I love the way it feels! I have really good and quality coilovers on it, and even though it is lowered (still going to lower it a little more), it doesn't feel like I'm on the ground. When I get into my brother's camaro, I feel like I'm sitting on the ground even though I'm physically a lot lower in my 240.

Now go get some video!
