Bumping the 400 at the wheels those pistons are going to need race gas and no miss shifts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Here are some pictures and an in-car video. No blazing fast lap times this time out. I'm still a bit rusty because I haven't driven on track in almost 3 years, and the car has only been completed for 12 hours at this point. There is a lot of speed potential in the car (more than my driving ability could use this past weekend) and I can't wait to see how it fairs against other cars in it's class after we get some development time under our belts.

This was with a restrictor plate in place of the functioning thermostat. We are going to have to go back to a thermostat. Without any tape on the front end, the water temps never got above 125 degrees while driving. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i180.photobucket.com-11979-1328566498.5.jpg) |

Do you make an adapter plate that will work with say, a Subaru EZ30D, or WRX-STI, and mate up with a 2001 Boxster 986-5 speed transaxle?
