The harmonic balancer is being worked on right now. so the crank trigger lines up with the pick up correctley.
Im not running any accesories. No power stearing or ac. But there will be an alternator.

Zero--What is the hole in the middle of the bumper for? I might have missed it, but it looks like there is piping behind it.

If you look close in the pics in the beginning the pipe is his cage. He did some kinda elabrotae setup off his back strut bar/cage bar that goes straight back to the rear of the car and to the corners.

Aren't you worried about not running a timing belt cover..? What if something gets in and tears your belt up.

BLAH! Timing belt covers are for sissys  lol j/k
People said the same thing when I was building my motor but to be honest if you take out the ac and power steering and those lines over there nothing is really in the way of it at all and underneath is a guard so the whole something jumping up into it is kinda superstition. |

Yeah i have heard Brent's name from my buddy with a 95 teg hes been out to PFI but try to see if someone can film them tuning it when its dynoed if your not going to be around. (Only if your tuning it on a dyno, i hope its not getting a street tune even though that would be insane  . Would have to be one hell of a long straight road.) Looking better and better by the way. |

Just caught up on your thread. Amazing!! Really like all your innovation esp the dual wastegate with CO2 as a spring replacement.
Keep up the good work!

Dang. See us normal folk were gonna try to one up you with the borg technology but looks like you got wise and realised you can do better than that turbo you have there. |

Are you going to be doing any time attack or autoxing with this cart or just drag. I aske because it seems like you put a lot of money and thought into the suspension, I kow that suspension is a very overlooked thing in drag cars but I just think this is over engineering somewhat. Is this stup lighter than the stock setup?

So then the question is why so much of an investment in a car that will only make left turns at the end of racing lol. |
