Impressive!
I'm drooling over your wooden shift bezel -
Did you take a shift bezel from a 98+ automatic and cut a larger opening? And just attach a rubber seal and a shift boot...?
Looks terrific.

It is a 5speed SC shiftboot, with my stock auto shift **** drilled and threaded onto a B&M quicksilver shifter for the th400.
The cage is a custom 10pt chromoly, which I have actually yet to paint (it will be black).
Benny, they are Weld Alumastar wheels with 28x10.5 MT ET Drags in the back and 165R15 up front. Stock suspension at this point, though I have ready to install: springs to lower the front, and KYB AGXs to stiffen the rear if it bottoms out.
SouthernSC, I'm not ready to strip the car.. I enjoy it being full interior etc, from a comfort and looks standpoint at this time.
Iron, no - it's slow
I am not sure of the horsepower, nor do I want to guess at 1/4 times... I may get it to a track this weekend if time and weather permit.

I love these cars.Still don't know about horsepower, and not sure what it will run when I turn the wick up .. but it did manage to go 9.8 already on medium boost... I'm getting a new wideband sensor, another drum of C16, and filling the bottle... it's time to go fast!

well I'm glad you got one cuz you're really using it for its potential... I still think its the best car to come out of Japan overall...
well keep us posted it should be insane... just remember motors arent as cheap as the VQ

Your sig says, 1/4 time of 9.4? Maybe I missed a thread somewhere, but that would make you the fastest SCin the world. Threadgill went 9.5@143 and that was the record last I checked. Any info?
