Hi Guys,

We just blew past our Bandwidth limit on the website this afternoon. I'm trying to get our service moved up to the next tier but it may be offline until Monday..

The original Engine, Trans and Rear-end/suspension are going back in after we finish the chassis. The engine will get a custom set of headers and probably a tune. We may end up pulling the TR6060 trans and installing another ""lighter" one like the TKO600.

First thing is to get all the sound deadener out of it and get the cage built - then it's on to suspension mods..

We get a lot of questions like - Why not start with a BIW?
Actually when you start with a BIW, it's nothing more than just the body. To purchase the engine and driveline as well as all the suspension, wiring harness, ECU, etc - well - you end up paying a substantial amount over what the dealer will sell you the car for... Another Plus is that the car has a VIN. Not that having a VIN is important to a Race-Only car such as this one, but with all the racecars being stolen. stripped and sold for parts, it makes sense to have most of those parts stamped with the VIN.
