No driving videos yet. Got to tie in the brakes and bleed them and wire up the wide band. I may pull it out later and detail it cause it is full of dust and driving me nuts.

You will be more than pleased with the outcome. Well gave it a quick bath after work today, still needs a full detail. Just glad to get the dust off it. I still need to tie my sweet thunder muffler in in place of the crappy raspy loudmouth resonator. What I have is exactly like the GMMG muffler to put in. Hope fully it will quiet down some and get rid of the rasp.

I shot the first drive around the block with my new gopro. Pretty cool little video camera. I can tell I am going to have fun with it. The video I shot doesn't even come close to how loud this car is. I guess thats because it is in a case. Felt good to move the car and power is just effortless. Got to baby it around for clutch break in for 500 miles. BOOOOO!!!! I wanted so bad to take it out in on the country roads out here and give it more than partial throttle. I will say, just from the little driving I did around other than the video I shot, I am gonna have my hands full with this car.

Things left to do...
Tie in the nitrous wiring.
Tie in the Mallory box and program and set up the two step
Recheck each and every bolt
Grease up all the suspension
Order new rear shocks for the coil overs
Install front sway bar.
Intall panels removed inside the car.
install fog lights.

Then I have to throw a base tune at it and datalog and then off to the dyno.

Here is a short video of around the neighborhood.

That sweet thunder will sound so much better than the LM1. The only other appearance mod i would do is clear or smoked side markers.

that sounds so nice, what rpm did u get it to when you did partial throttle? Do you need to break the engine in to? Will you be dynoing it? I like the camera, mount it inside!
