Thanks man... many hours in it so far and a few more yet before it's done... it's funny, but it looks very similar to the exhaust I made for my 540 and that wasn't what I intended, lol!
Loving everything about this swap, garey! I don't think ill make it to gutenfest as I wont have all the bugs worked out of my swap by then. Looks like you're doing great with it and the exhaust welds are phenomenal. Any sound or video clips?

Loving the gauge setup! Are you going to keep them in that configuration or swap the speedo and tach to have it same as OEM?
The add-on work to the exhaust looks great too!
You do realize that they are in the OEM configuration, right, lol? I'm hoping to still utilize the original idiot lights and stuff. We'll see... thanks for the exhaust kudos. I feel better about the end result of the exhaust now... It kind of felt like I was taking the easy way out with the first design... this feels more like the rest of the car....

I'm still pushing for G'fest, so we'll see how it shakes out... I have not started it yet, just got the fuel system buttoned up today. That exhaust was time consuming, for sure, but I'm happy with the results...
Tires and some miscellaneous fittings came in today. I finished the exhaust system this morning and got the fuel system tidied up along with mounting the wheels and tires, this afternoon. I really only have a few things left to finish before I can fire it off, so I may have some good news soon. Pics of the CAI and the wheels and tires on it. I got a little overzealous with the ride height, lol. It needs to come up an inch or so to be practical. Tires are Conti DW's...
I think the wheels themselves look GREAT but I still feel like this car needs something better. Maybe something in 17x9 all around. :)
I hear you... remember that I am building this thing to enjoy and drive, so these wheels will be my driving wheels. I didn't want something too nice, but they had to look decent and these fit the bill. The baller wheels will be something in the iForged or Modulare flavor, in an 18X8 front, 18X9 rear setup, but those are a bit down the road. I need to get it finished, then I'll worry about the little things...;)
