Alright, Chike, thanks a lot. You just had to affirm the kinda dumb thing, huh?

These will give you the general idea. I'll get some better ones up soon.

Awesome. Looks like something out of a mad max movie. I love the flat black.

You guys and your !$@#%$ backwards wheels!

Actually, the opposite side has totally different tires and wheels!

I just stuck those on to roll it out of the garage- Didn't bother to check which side they should be on. Should have known better around here! (slaps himself in the head)

These engine pics are old, but the engine is identical. You could eat off it!

Wasn't trying to affirm anything - just give instructions that were as clear as possible.

Those are some amazing pics! I LOVE the WRC Subaru logo on the side. Simply amazing!!!

What process did you use to paint? Did you sand & primer first, or just paint? Didn't clearcoat right? Used spray cans?

We sanded the gloss off the entire car, then repaired all the dings and dents. The entire job was done with rattle cans. The main part of the car is black primer. Then we masked the graphics carefully with masking tape (this took quite a while), and sprayed the "ghost" graphics with clear coat.

I remember reading a while back that you decided to keep the ABS. Why? Everything else is so extreme on this car!

The ABS is still on the car, but it has been disabled. It is a lot more fun to drive without it!!

The only reason it is still there is that we intend to run one more time at GRM this year, which means we have to stay under $2005 budget. We can't even afford the brake lines it would take to completely eliminate the ABS!

That is definitely one clean engine bay!! I only saw one solenoid (passenger's side firewall) - are you running a dry NO2 system (or did I miss the other solenoid)?

Awesome. Maybe you can do the 2006 challenge and use the extra $1 for materials.

Let's see some video!

It looks like you can get by with a bender and some metric t's we will let ya know as soon as I locate some metric ts for it. I don't think they'd cost more than $6 or so or can't you even afford that on the budget?

Even the $6 would be tight, but the real issue is time. We've still got a lot of tuning to do before the end of this month.

Yes, it's a dry nitrous system.
