    Don't worry about the 4 Wheel alignment Pete.. you won't need it.. there is only one way this car is going and thats sideways! Congrats and a great effort albeit a long time coming!

    Great power to weight combo thats for sure and looks quite nice too with the black wheels

    Now all you gotta do is ring up the stig and get him to throw it around their track!

    Friggin' crazy! Track looks a little wider than a stocko...

    I love the interior too, great attention to detail!

    Curiously, was the firewall relocated / changed to fit the engine in? I would presume so

    lol Thanks guys

    The engine bulkhead was cut, and a tunnel formed, to fit the LS1 and Tremec T56. The rear chassis was extensively modified to accomodate the Omega rear axle. The diff is Omega casing with Monza LSD internals.
