Thumbs up Latest pics of the Blue Meanie

Today I got some pics from my mechanic in Houston ( Rennsport in Sealy TX) from the conversion of the Blue Meanie to RS specs. I'm so thrilled with their work I thought I would share the pics I got The work that Mike Callas and Warren Evans have done is as always perfect with an incredible attention to detail.
So here they are:

RS Engine:


Rear Heigo Cage install, Carpeting and JRZ Canisters



Passenger side:

Danny, very cool pics. Interesting cage too! I like the floor boards on the pasenger side. Did you do that on the drivers side as well?

Very nice! Post some more as she gets completed.

Very nice. I really like it. When you say converted to RS spec, what does that entail?

Thanks guys! It does look incredible!

Kary the cage is the Heigo RS Clubsport cage the same as Porsche had on the RSCS. I got it from FVD.
The floorboards are on both sides and I know they are a custom job from Mike Callas.

Phil...LOL..yes it is stock RS

I cant wait to drive it!!!

Well for starters an RS engine, then RS Brakes ( a bit different than big reds), RS gearbox, RS Flywheel and Clutch, RS door panels, RS carpeting and removal or rear deck and seats, RS motormounts, RS gearbox mounts, monoball plates, monoball suspension links with JRZ triple adjustable shocks and Eibach springs, RS Kinesis Supercup 18" wheels, RS Clubsport spoilers, RSCS momo steering wheel along with the safety equipment for club racing like the RSCS Heigo cage ,the seats etc.
My final mods to the car would be the evo uprights for the bump steer and the cargraphics oil cooler.
After that I should be done!

Danny,

The car looks really sharp.

I have a ton of questions to ask about your project, expect a PM.

Congrats Danny,

So when are you gonna be back in town?

I think my car will be down for at least a month and a half with what I have lined up and then I'll most likely be making a trek out to Cali and Oregon late in the summer.

Boris I will ask and let you guys know about the floorboards.

Icer the gray wire should be the hardwiring of the "cool suit" system I had installed in the car. At first it was mounted on the passenger side of the car but I did not like much the location so on the next verion it should be either in the trunk or behind the passenger seat. The red button on the lower row of buttons in front of the shifter is the switch for the "cool suit".

Very cool Danny. I bet you can't wait to get it out on the track. I just ordered a few sets of EVO upright and steering arms myself. Can't wait to put them in.... Keep us posted and take some more pics....

Danny, it looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm intrigued by the cage design, I'd never seen braces run off the transmission tunnel before.
