Looks sweet, but you gotta do something about the metal piece that you have the gauges into. Get some carbon fiber around it or paint it so it matches the color of your interior.

Engine bay looks very nice

If you could see the rest of the interior you realize there is no interior. The entire interior as been removed including most of the dash like the glove box, under panels, AC heat, etc. All the carpet, interior plastic trim, head liner, sunroof, rear seat, radio speakers, door panels, center console, and everything in the trunk. I’m preparing the car for autoxing/ road racing.

FMIC is from a Conquest.

Looks like Turbo XS Type S BOV...same as I have.

It's kinda tame under 6psi. Like a nice "shhhhsssshhhh" But above it sounds like a whip cracking. I remember when I boost spiked at 12psi(ouch!) I clutched in and let off...it scared the hell out of me it was so loud. Rates at 106dB

Latest pics

This is a view of all the controls as of 2/28/03. Notice AFC and gauges panel with switches for radiator fan and Water/methanol injection system.

This is a view of the water/methanol injection pump and reservoir in the back seat area.

As soon as I drive it next. We are doing so many things to it right now that no one can drive it. But by the frist Autox of the season which is the 23rd of March at FedEx Satdium it should be rocking and rolling.
Dave

Wil when is the frist local meet of the year?
