checked the Speed website says that Launch Hour wont be showing for awhile. And im pretty sure thats what both those shows play on.

If the Civett ran on the "Name that test and tune" lol i wanted to see the peoples faces ahahaha.

Dammit

And cant wait to see it finished, I have been following this from the first day you posted, Awesome work

The Ultima build manual comes with a crap wiring diagram - there's a better one here >> http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/t...p?h=0&t=262074

You need to add a bigger wire to the AC fan... there's a crappy little green one that needs to be beefed up. Look at this thread for details>>>

Tell your mate to PM or post on Pistonheads if he needs anything.

Man, I read the first page of this and thought.. NO F-ING WAY. Looked over and saw 45 pages, started to skim through pages hoping you achieved your goal and holy **** you did.

Car is cool as hell! Good work
