Thanks for all of the comments

I may have missed it somewhere, but who was the frame builder? If you don't mind sharing.

His name is Danny and he ran a shop called speedinc I believe... but he's out of business now and sold off all of his jigs :(

That's unfortunate.....quality of the frame looks amazing.

Thanks man. He really did take his time on these frames.

I can't wait to see this thing finished up. Great work !

If this ever has launch control or anti lag, it will steal my heart... hahah. Great build. The 315's give it a much more purposeful look than the skinny atom tires. I am excited to see videos of it taking on cars that cost 2-10 times as much as it does.

Wooooo badass man!

Thanks for all of the positive comments guys!

We have been doing the electrical side of things as of late. Wow, definitely underlooked this part of the project. What a headache. Thankfully Brian from iWire has been EXTREMELY helpful and helping us through all of this. Thanks again Brian!

So here are some pics

Thanks. We cranked it over to make sure the starter would work. It did :p

We just need some fuel now and a fuel pump that actually works. Walbro 255 just came in the mail and we'll be installing it tomorrow.

[DER E30]

YAY! I wanna hear the scooby rumble!

[rzerob]

I can't wait to see this thing do some donuts.

[jaywood]

And it runs


Walbro 255 installed and tested. It works. The fuel pump was the problem!





So exciting <3

It runs. It started first try after we verified we had fuel. Wow.. It is not tuned for 1000cc injectors and the motor still needs to be broken in so we can't run it for long that's why we turned it off so suddenly. But it runs!

[rzerob]

YES! Finally we hear it run. Next videos of burnouts and donuts. Really great job.
