I moved the motor and trans to the passenger side 1/2" The trans is now centered between the hubs. This allows for 2 driver side manual axles to fit between the hubs. 3/4" is left in the bottom of the tulips at full compression. with the struts fully extended there is no binding in the tulips.

It aint pretty but its done, my first time mig welding, not bad if I do say so my self.
Its a true 3" exhaust with 2.5" out of the Flowtech Afterburner muffler. I tried to leave room for a Inter-cooler eventually. Thats why I decided to cut the trunk out.

I noticed that my speedo is stuck on 120MPH. (even with the key off.) I did this for the speedo mod. Edit; I did a search for "stuck on 120" and it apears to a common problem and fixes itself with driving. I have no idea how long this car has been laid up, I bought it as a non runner.
And I have no Tach reading. Im pretty sure i hooked the ICM white wire t o C500 C3.

The cooling temp, voltage, gas and oil pressure gauges all work.
Edit; I didn't remove the clutch switch, you have to push the clutch pedal in to start it. Is there anything i have to change in the car wiring?

That's a pretty darn nice system. I need to build one like that but without cutting the trunk. Also not still sure if I will keep the trumpets.

The muffler was 65.00 plus shipping. The 3-3" elbows, flex joint, and 2-2.5" X12" 90deg bends were $140.00. I am keep a tally on the costs and will write some thing up when i get it on the road. Thanks guys.

At the clutch pedal - the weird switch with the long thing that slides through it - there is a fat purple wire and a fat yellow wire on it. Connect the two.
