And after a weekend:

Just needed a bit of love. She is cleaning up quite nicely. Pretty much everything going BACK in is going to be brand new. A few new shiny bolts and that should do it!

The core motor is going out to Buschur for the new BR 2.0LR…

This is the STM Master to Slave Clutchline installed in Alex’s car.

Right now STM is the only company to offer this one-piece clutchline:

Alex will be home soon from Afghanistan! We’ll have dyno results up soon!

Car looks good.

This car sounds disgusting, in case anyone could wonder about the pure orgasmic noises coming from both ends of this car.

The series 2 EMS is dope too, I never realized how much sharper the throttle response is!

badass

Very slick.

Impressive.

Looks like a fantastic build.

HAHA! it certainly sounds amazing. You know when it’s Alex’s Evo that started when you hear a serious rumbling and purring reverberating from inside the shop. His car is on the “list” of awesome sounding cars. I can’t wait until he is home and we can finish the tune!

your shop is fucking huge!!!
