Not really a street racing guy. I used to do it a lot in PR long time ago and i got in a lot of trouble. Lucky me i never got into an accident but i had friends that got killed doing.it. But racing is in my blood, i just do it responsibly and safe at the track. It will be bad *** though

car will be taken Monday to a chassis guy to make sure the 8.8 job was done correctly, tranny mount will be redone, chassis and rear subframe will be reinforced. he will also weld all my turbo pipping with the new clamps. Pic's will start coming Monday. Hope you guys enjoy them as I am going to enjoy my car when is done.

very nice! this build just keeps advancing.
any close up pics of the welds on the ferrules? my welder had a tough time getting clean welds on them because the aluminum was very dirty.
the sleeves are a real pita to put on and take off, but they also for slight movements which is very nice. you may also need to get some new silicone o-rings as the ones that come with them are slightly large.

Its all ZumnRX8's Fault... It was his Idea to change to Wiggins.
White snowflakes is missing. He always had something on his mind to add to the car.
Anyone else.. lol
