not digging the wheels, but really nice job on the hood, that was probably CRAZY intensive with the labor hours.

like the E type front bumper... is it authentic or replica??

Wow 8400 is insane I can't wait for the video....If you dont mind me asking what bumper is that MSA? And also do you have an aftermarket Tach? or 07 gauge cluster? stock gague only goes to 8000

nope stock tach for now - retrofitting the 07 is not easy so for now I'm just dealing with it and learning how to hear when to shift

I know guys, I know, and I will get some posted at some point. I honestly don't have alot of free time. We're supposed to get the rear main seal fixed this week finally, so once that is done I'll get some videos posted

By the way - anyone have a suggestion for a camera mount for my digital 8 camcorder?

now, anyone know of a truly idiot proof video editing program that will interact with my Sony camcorder? Is Movie Maker ok, or is there something easier (I have literally 0 experience with this stuff, so the easier it is to use the better!)

thanks

Just read an ad in Wired. Sony is making it's own line of movie editing software. You'll have to find it yourself, but I can imagine it is designed to play nice with their hardware as well.

How do you like the clutch? Maybe you haven't driven it enough to get a feel for it yet. Would this clutch stand up to a few weekend trips down the drag strip?

I just went back and looked through your original pictures again... Cool that you have the tightening sequence marked on the bottom end girdle... I like small simple touches like that...

I'm used to the clutch by now. If I had to do it again, I'd probably pick something else to be honest (a separate clutch and flywheel). This one holds great and I've gotten used to driving it but it takes too much attention. Every integrated single disk will be just like this - very grabby

we'll have some good high res shots taken really soon I promise!!!! It won't have the new hood in the pics as its currently off the car and I'm using the stock one for now. And I promise some videos soon! Kwame and I just took the car out this afternoon for a little blast, and it just reminded me how much fun it is, and how well balanced it really is - just does everything well

My rear main seal leak seems to have been solved, finally, and I'm just putting some finishing touches on the car tonight.
