its done. The most of the video logs has been posted on the youtube link in the first post. I'm still uploading videos. I drove it on a long road trip and it ran great.


it will never be "done.", but its on the road and drives good. I love it.

Its been running for years. I installing a water intercooler on it right now. Why? because I have the parts and I like building stuff. I'm going to split a civic radiator in half and use it for the heat exchange.
