Then took her down to a photo shoot where i was playing around drifting the gal.. did a few burnouts.... then the tires started hooking and i blew apart the spider gears..lol. We threw it back together... i moved to Carlsbad... the rear end wasn't acting right.. so i had Jerry at Oceanside driveline throw in a Detroit Tru trac. I also had Best of Show guys clean up some of that left over "Sema rush" paint...haha. Those guys are great.
Took her over to Turn Key and got a real nice cold start tune on her... now.. She is off to my buddy Shadowman just north of Sacramento.. where she will be getting her insides dissected.
We are going to completely update the wiring. Shadowman uses all the top of the line wire connectors and "fine tunes" the entire wiring. So when you look under the dash.. she will look "brand new BMW style".
He works on some pretty serious stuff. Check out his web site.
discovery-automotive.com/portal
Once i get it back from there.. i will join some of these local so-cal guys and start trying to learn "cone driving".
Wow dude. That is some high speed shiat in an old bucket of bolts. I missed that story...

Some nice continuous updates you're working on I see.... let's see some more vids of some action soon.

Ha, I remember seeing that street race vid before. I've always wanted a Viper to play with! Don't take much to get big power out of them, esp if you have the forged internal motor of the late 90s from the factory.

I'd go with the Mini Cooper wiring option instead, based on the fact your driving style matches up to that in 'The Italian Job'.
