On page 4 one of the pictures of your car at a show has an aftermarket steering wheel installed. Can you tell me what brand it is and approx how much it cost? Thanks, Tom

That centre consol looks wicked. Did you just use a flat piece of plastic glued in the hole then blend it and mold it with bondo?

Honestly, this was done so long ago that I cannot remember the pricing on it but i want to say around 1k.

Actually it is a shop in Troy Mi and their name is Stenod Performance. They are well known for their custom cages and fabrication work.

Yeup!!

Did I say already that we are almost there?!

She is over heating a bit but hopefully she can settle down some... trying a work around the **** turbo kit I got from OFI.

Here is a short video (not very good quality) of her starting up.

EDIT: OOPS!!!!! I already posted this video!!!! I must be loosing my mind!! anyways, if cool enough to see it again!!

I do have another video but it on my freaking iphone and I cannot get it off the stupid thing... hmmm, let me see if I can find a free software to remove the file from my iphone.

Ureeka!!!!!

Crazy the stuff you find on the web.. I found this software (iphonebrowser) and got the file off the iphone.

Now looking at it, the quality is almost worst than the other vid and it's much shorter (sickos!)

But, you get an idea of the sound... enjoy:

I think the chute is a little out of place. Is it removable?

They don't work as well on the front.

That was posted in regards to it constantly as being called a street car. Look at the rest of the car and tell me that it looks like a parachute matches the rest of the setup or is oriented towards a street car. I know the thing is probably 3900-4000lbs and it will need it at the track. Hence the reason I asked if it was removable.

yeup... it is removable. I know the streetcar them and a chute don't really match well but, like you said, it is needed for the track since it is certified.

Your car is an inspiration bro!

More pics of the over all car, Interior, seats, and the dash!!


It 'd be obvious when someone hears the motor at the track or street, HOWEVER, Its must be AWESOME to see the look on people's faces when you put the top down and the cage shows your all business!!!

HAHAH I love it!!
