f u. I hate emissions...... if this deal I'm working on goes through, its probably going to have to become a track car, because there ain't no way its passing emissions.

lol depends on your def of a real car.... LMFAO
I drove it around my street the other day, had a real bad issue with tire rubbing on the slow corners, spacers kinda fixed the clearance, BUT put the tire to far out to the point were it would connect with my fender lip if i launched the car.
SO now the back half of the cage may be cut out... and the half the floors...
Got mini tubs going on to aleviate the clearance issues. Should have it mostly welded up tomorrow.
ill get some photos up some time tomorrow

hopefully it goes smooth.
how did it run otherwise?
I have some sneaky odd ball **** up my sleeve at the moment. Don't want to revel anything just yet....... But if it works out I'll lay out the details.
pictures and a build thread will be done, but no where near as detailed as my last one with the head/cam swap. That was too much work trying to work on the car, and keep that thread updated.
still very detailed, to help people, but not like before where I posted and took pictures of every single bolt practically.
