Excited to see, and more importantly... hear, it running ;). We better get a sound clip!
Florida sucks for this type of stuff...92°F with 90% humidity...cools down for a storm coming for about 10 min of relief, pours, humidity now at 900%...evening goes on, sun goes down, cools down to a nice and brisk 85° and 50% humidity...finally able to work...annnnnnddddd...the swarms of mosquitoes come out worse than I have ever seen them here. Yay Swamp State!

The front is pushed out 12mm per side, so, less than any other way of going 5 lug besides e30 m3 that I am aware of.

After two prior takes...one being me forgetting to install the DME (doh!) and the second where I forgot to reinstall the fuel pump fuse :/.......It runs!
I apologize for the crappy cellphone video. The audio unsynced near the end and muted completely, probably as a result from the loud noise, but...it is in the car and running!
Now time to finish it up and pretty up all the bits cobbled together to attempt starting.
Also currently have my driveshaft being built locally.

A lot has been happening so quick that I haven't gotten many pictures, but...
driveshaft made and installed (fit perfectly).
exhaust installed...cooling system installed...shifter installed (more on that later)...etc etc.
A/C hoses are made, new drier installed, and its working great!
Radiator outlet modified to clear the compressor...and it too is working great and keeping it cool!
After realizing my brand new Febi slave cylinder was bad, I replaced it with another and bled the clutch and brakes (found a line I forgot to tighten in the midst of this and dumped a ton of fluid )...
Then, of course, time for a test drive. Nice and easy like, just to make sure everything is working. :giggle:
