I will post a clip or two when I get it back.
You'll like it. I had the Kline inconel 70mm with the big Motorsport Emitec 100cpi CATS that Felix built it with on request. It was a very nice exhaust, rather quiet and civilized.

It's also lighter too... Kind of excited to hear it run.

Engine is very very close to being complete... some subtle differences from typical Turbo mezger

And there's no water pump and you're missing the SAI....

Hmmm there's a water pump there... SAI has been gone for a long time though.

There's no AC compressor in the middle if that is what you're looking at. The AC hasn't been functional on the car for a few years so figured may as well save some weight.

I was eyeballing this and putting my sticky fingers on this earlier today. I sure could use a spare engine. Hmmmmmmm..... Congrats brother!

You have an engine that is, I gather, put together like a Swiss watch... Should be good to you, if, you're good to it...

Finally got my hardtop mounted after searching high and low for the correct catch and receiver hardware. Absolutely LOVING it. It’s a much quieter ride, and love the extra rigidity. I also recently installed a new set of P4S’s to replace the nearly 12 year old tires I’d bought the car with years ago. Should’ve done this a lot sooner. She’s ready for early driving season!

Thanks dude! I owe you a few for putting me in touch with Cervelli to work his magic and helping me source a lot of this stuff. Really excited to let it rip!
