Default Slow boat has arrived [with parts]...

And my Tom's exhaust has finally been delivered. No rush to get it installed though - lot of parts just waiting for the right time. The box looked like hell but nothing was damaged.





Had a helper for the unpacking. She's 22 months old.



Looks very, very, very nice. I'm gonna miss the angry growl of the Tanabe's, though.

Well - I could still do the Tom's coils and some of the new chassis brace stuff, but I'm good for the moment. May be installing the exhaust soon after all, have a local that wants the Tanabe.

Man, they should give you a few pieces for free, or at leas greatly discounted. You ARE seemingly building a Tom's Racing demo car in the US for them.

I cut the resonators off on the Tanabes out of need - had to clear the Tom's closed brace. I'll drive around for a time with these intact.
