the car has a salvage title. but from flooding it had some damage but only skin deep no structural damage to the chassis.. much cheeper to get a salvage car than buying a used one that works....

well i'm hanging up my drag racing glove this years (but not before a final push to run 6 sec.) so this is going to be my new race car.

thanks for the kind words, i should be getting some more pics today... we'll see.

It's cool to see a 2nd gen IS with a roll cage. Looking forward to more pics of your progress.

Thanks.

Good luck. Seems like a huge but fun challenge. Quick question. 300-315HP out of the 3sge is a lot. Did you do something else to the engine?
