A couple of months...I am gathering all the extra" parts and "custom" parts I want to complete it as I want. Example, some custom one-off fabricated Carbon Fiber pieces, some chrome pieces, etc...I am further customizing some of the custom designs and parts...

I also have made some improvements to the overall design of the TT system, and am ordering those parts as well.

Something tells me that Ryan is neight cutting corners nor rushing his car to the streets.

Like everyone else, I enjoy seeing the little things that will put your car on a different level. That polished metal in the engine bay is going to be awesome.

Thanks Deron...I am anxious, but patient...I have triple checked everything on it, re-evaluated my design, and made some improvements...Just as I triple checked the motor when I built and balanced and blue printed it with Jeff at CW Pence, making sure all is correct.

Most definitely... Do it right, or don't do it at all...Watch the changes and additions coming up...

I do plan on racing it on the track at Sebring this November 10th....

Decided to pull out the stops on the gauges...Installing all DEFI gauges except for the AEM Wideband. Total of 4 Defi's and 1 AEM. Custom place for the other two locations...Watch and see...

Defi Link Control Unit II and EGT Gauge


EGT Gauge


Wait until you see the paint...The company that is painting my car specializes in tuning all aspects of the car...They paint immaculately!! Their attention to detail is phenomenal, and they are in Florida...They will be doing some very special work on my car, and will also be coming out with some very unique offerings as well......You want to know who they are? Subscribe to this thread and follow closely...You will see after it is complete...

Also, I am working on the Control of the BL Built auto transmission, and I have found what I want to use to control the shift points along with the control of diffferent shift harshness dependant upon load and boost...This will be pulg-n-play along with my Stand-Alone ECU too. As this thread progresses into the cataloguing of the final steps of my project completion, I will reveal the many names of the masterful companies and manufacturers that have worked closely with me to bring this project to successful completion. There really are some great guys and companies out there.

More pics to come...

Ryan
