Looking great, I'm excited to see it out soon. Yesterday we commented on the Kooks sticker on the back of a red pickup truck.... and then held up traffic when Fran noticed it was you.

That thing is gonna be ice skating with me on the street. Too much power, too light of a car. I like it.

The exhaust was done at exhaustwerxs(i think thats how they spell it) in delaware. It is not mandral bent but should flow plenty for what i have.

351Carlo I am excited to have the car out soon. I am only waiting on a few more parts. I will definatly not get anywhere fast with the 215 street tires that are on it now.

I will post up more pictures later. It looks sick with the corvette fuel rail covers on.

I got a little more done today. I washed the car which it needed it badly. Things left to do before i go thru inspection and fail:

-hook up throttle cable
-get clutch line
-wire the fan
-get oil pressure sensor hooked up
-make a intake

After that it should be at least drivable. Here is a video of what the exhaust sounds like.

215's definitely won't do much good. It looks so at home in the engine bay. There's plenty of room to run twins up front too

I've got a few tips for passing DE inspection, but it'll be tough without cats. You should be able to pass the sniffer test for that year easily. It's ashame it's not an OBDII year car, with some fake cats I could have you through inspection with ease.

PM me after you fail the first time. All I did to pass was remove my window tint... and I failed for noise, cats and a few other things.
