Man, that looks great, I love it!! I'd sure love to take that thing for a spin one day. I've only driven NA 2J's and of course my GTE swap, but never a big single car... I'm sure it's just an animal. Those are awesome touches with the LC and TC switches. I'm very impressed man - that thing just gets better every season!

99% done with this project. Doing a final printer right now with PETG-CF.

I just want to wire up the clutch switch, and front abs into the ecu and i should be just about done.

What is life if you can't say some kind words about someone and you deserve it with your knowledge and talent. I have read every thing you have written since you started your build. Yeah I have been subscribed. I wish you good luck and keep everyone up on your car.

I can't say anything better than what Bill has... You've been very thoughtful in your choices for this car and the finished product is definitely showing that. Keep it up man!

Welp, my clutch finally gave out after hundreds of launches and rips lol. Considering an TH400 swap and selling the t56 magnum just to make it simple fast.

The disk welded itself to the pressure plate, and i had to use a pry bar to remove it.

Ouchy on the clutch!!! I suppose if you've been launching it that hard and that often with some meaty tires it's bound to happen... If you're going to stick to drag racing I could see a TH400 swap being a lot of fun (and simple, reliable, etc). Always love your car and can't wait to see what direction you go with it!

Yeah I’d like to do the TH400 but I was looking for someone to buy my t56 kit for a good price.

id also probably sell my rear end to do an 8.8 setup if I did the th400.

this also means I’d put larger injectors in and go back for a retune.

If anyone wants the rotary switch piece I can print some.
