I dont want to swear because its crude, but ****ing hell this is amazing. Instant torque (visa vi electric power)in an AWD vehicle could be revolutionary. I mean the Tesla SUV is fast for example but I dont recall if its AWD.

Trunk is looking good and you have some room for daily usage. Unfortunately Im not a fan of the shutters. Never did like how they look.

Watching your driving videos got me thinking a little about the Power steering. Your steering effort seems like it gets easier after rolling compared to stand still. When I performed a PS delete on my Evo and looped the rack lines, the Steering was terribly difficult standing still or rolling. It did not get any better with speed, not even a little. Did you close loop the lines for the steering rack or left it open to atmosphere ?

How about some underbody panels for drag reduction. Should benefit from both front and rear underbody panels.

I capped the rack off with a modified banjo bolt.

Still waiting
on the charger rebuild, day 62.



Getting ready for alignment and setting ride height on the Tein cheapos. Interestingly, the rears are maxed out for height. This bodes ill for my idea of adding another 125 lbs of lithium cells to the gas tank area. Should be fun.

Also noticable in this picture is a second layer of tint on the front windows only. I removed a layer of tint from every window in the car, but it appears the fronts were double tinted
