Looks great! 
You must be very happy with the results of your hard work.
But there seems to be something missing... Oh yeah it's the yellow sticker on your I/C pipe

Wow, that's a lot of work. I got tired just looking at the pictures. Good work.
The only thing that struck me right away was the fact that you deleted your t-bars. That means that there's a lot of weight going through that pin that connects the spring to the trailing arm. Is that up to the task of handling those loads? I hope the trailing arm is solid at that point. Failure at that mount would not be good.

lots of racers do it every day- i bought the racers edge mounts because the stock shock bolts will shear off at that point. I know quite a few who have been running this way for years so we'll see but im not too worried.
thanks for all the compliments! wish i could drive the car - instead i spent the last hour shoveling the driveway.

Wow. Sounds nice. Does sound supercharged. Like it has a Lysholm on it.

See what I mean? I've come to like the sound of those things.

well the sound has pretty much disappeared now. That was the first startup on the new belts and my a/c belt was too tight so its fixed now.

been a good month since i updated this thread. Ive since put some miles on her and its time to turn up the boost. I just changed the oil to some 20w50 and put some swepco in the LSD trans i put in the car last month. Coming home from a PCA event yesterday i came across a group of guys that had attended- some nice gt3's, a newer turbo and some older cars. They pulled up besides me and gave me the nod before starting to pull away. I reached over, spun the boost control **** and gave them a little wave as i pulled away very very hard. Then i backed off and they all gave me the thumbs up as they passed- i think it was a thumb??
Oh well- 18lbs is very fun and i highly recommend it...
