no the 2.2l is not in yet but dont worry when it is, you will be the first to know how it works. a local wheel and tire shop help us out with tire, r compounds on the front and petty much what ever we can get for the back. ---

Here are some pics of the progress we have made in the last few weeks on our project drift car for the 2008 season. first step was to strip all the decals of the body and remove the glue [![http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/8741/dsc01725xr6.jpg](http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/8741/dsc01725xr6.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) Next the spoiler was removed and the holes welded.

as the title says we have not been letting up on the project drifter The harness is fully finished loomed up and working proper we ended up with a full black garbage bag of useless wire, plugs and ather misc relays. Aside from the weight savings we have eliminated any potential for problems down the road.
