As John posted, the exhaust is finished, and sounds great. Ill try to get some drive by vids, and some in-car action next weekend at homestead.
Had the car minutes from rolling out of the shop under her own power, but the slave self destructed inside the trans while bleeding the clutch. Peices of it inside the bellhousing.. Couple days and we'll have that straightened out..
Loving the quick release V-bands-Jay

So, been a while since my last update, and thats mostly because of my clutch issues. Seen here: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=240734
But after R+R'ing the trans literally 5 times, I wasnt going to let it stop me from getting it on the road and getting the kinks out.
So I started daily driving-
Little fun outside the shop..

ANd after about a week and 1/2 / 250 miles of break in, I took her to Sebring.
My first trip to Sebring, and my first track day with this drivetrain.obd1 s52, ZF trans, e30 m3 suspension, 15x8-225/45 ra1's.
So my thoughts after the track event... the swap was totally worth it. The car's faster in every single way, and with in-house tuning there's alot of room for improvment power wise. Only downfall of this car is not really fitting into any real classing aside from NASA TT.. which is still undecided at the moment.
Next update- Brake rebuild/upgrade, 540 MAF/tuning, and finally what I think is a definite solution to my clutch issue.. hopefully the last time ill have to pull the trans for a while.. Stay tuned.-Jay
