By the time all this snow melts it's going to need another restoration...

Looking really good though.

Looking great Gary. I'm a bit behind you but slowly catching up.
What are you hoping to read and review from the rear shock sensors? I realise this will measure travel, but what to do with that info?

"Over steer and under steer using the CDS exclusive handling
method explained on page 13 of the link I've attached.
Suspension data will also give automatic calculation of shock
velocities, ride heights, roll angles, pitch, and heave PLUS
animation of the chassis plane"

It all sounds good but very technical, however I'm told it's that it's not that hard to use. There is also good technical support so hopefully it wont be to difficult for me to learn and use I hope. LOL!

I did that.. Just not posting up pics yet

This build looks pretty familair.. very close to mine down to the side view mirrors!.. Although, I've found them too small to be able to take quick glances. I have gone a bit more extreme on the fiberglass though.

Your turbo is quite large for that hp goal though.. I think a small A/R Gt28 would be phenominal.

this project is awesome though. .. Well done.

Sloan picked this turbo so I have the option to run in GTS4 if I want next year. It gives us some nice power flexibilty.

For those who are thinking it , there will in fact be a map switch but it will be in a bolted enclosed box under the hood which will be declared at tech.

Default hatch install

Hatch progress pic's. The hatch is in 2 sections. The section around the wing is permanantly fixed, as is the wing. The front section of the hatch opens normally using the factory hinges.

Hey that's a novel way of coming up with a fix for rear hatch access. I'd prefer to be able to remove the wing in a best case scenario, but I give you guys kudos for coming up with something that is undeniably unique.

Bruce, I want to see what you've come up with too.
