Yes. This one has a 10k max RPM but they make the same model w/ a 20k RPM

Is this a tach from a motorcycle?

I have the same impact and love it. Everybody needs one of those.

Great work as always. Can't wait to see videos of this thing in action.

Seriously, it is a GREAT investment

Thanks man. I'll get some vids up as soon as it starts!

Mounted the STI pedal. The engine/throttle body is DBW so we had to get the DBW pedal.

Here's how the headlights look...hood on, hood off





And also started tearing into the harness






BTW, this is our most used tool. It is amazing.

How do you ensure the bolts are both tight and aligned properly to illuminate the plate?

It doesn't thread into the frame. There is a plastic nut that keeps everything tight

If this amazing build continues..

Got some updates over the past few weekends. We have been out of town so not much has gotten done but here's some pics for you guys

Got an alternator and cleaned it up a bit. Powdercoated the brackets that came off of our spare EJ20 engine wrinkle red. Turned out very nice







I built a locking glove box. It turned out pretty nice. We will be leather/foam wrapping it so it will have some cushion to it.. First time welding 3/16" aluminum. Still learning!





The hinge in the rear is a piano style hinge





It isn't aligned yet. We need some brackets that hold it in place but this is where the lock is placed. The screws will be ground down flush.



Mounted the e-brake. Came out a Miata.



We also made began the aluminum cover for the shift linkage/etc. Making a shift boot will be next.



Built a bracket and sewed up a velcro strap for the race battery. We'll see how it holds up. Also mounted the fuse box. (fist picture taken in passenger seat to give you an idea of where it is)





Also got some license plate bolts......



Built in plate lights!



We also got the headlights mounted and the front mirrors/turn signals mounted. I forgot to snap some pics but I'll try and get some this week!

this car is just built for fun. Nothing about it is practical.

Makes perfect sense. Carry on with the awesome!:crazy:
