I think Adam actually worked for AMS back in those days, I can remember that far back

He actually started devo around that time. I remember when Adam was busting out 10s in a galant vr4 now that was back in the days! That famous evo 2 is now Reichans 200mph monster.

Nice work with the fasteners on the boot too. Any reason you didn't remove the rear parcel shelf / firewall completely and/or replace with carbon or aluminium considering you've removed the torque hinges for the boot?

Was there a consideration made in putting a tailshaft loop around the rear of the shaft next to the fuel tank? Don't know what the chances of a shaft breaking in that spot are, but if it broke and headed toward the fuel tank it'd be a bit of a drama wouldn't it?

You guys are doing a really great job on that car. The white/black is a little odd but looks very clean. (don't take offense to that, it is just odd

Looking forward to seeing it run. The 1st Shootout is next month! Bring it.

I just wanted to say thanks for the positive comments everyone has for the build.

BPI, the tank at the rear of the car under the stock rear passenger seat location is actually the water cell we fabricated for the Air to Water intercooler. As for the parcel shelf/firewall, there will a panel covering it, but we did not see the benifit from removing the material in its entirety.

Updated pics coming soon...
