[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Things are getting close. I have been waiting for the custom turbo pistons and they should be ready hopefully next week, along with the racing clutch. As soon as the pistons are here, away they go to the machine shop with the block for overboring. The head is done and I have most of the remainder of the engine components on hand.

I picked up a clean '81 X for the project and it is at Steve Furst's shop, waiting to be nearly completely stripped. When the car is a rolling shell, it goes to have a full cage installed, along with the fuel cell (in the front trunk) and the suspension changes. We are losing most of the Fiat suspension and using BMW 3 series calipers and rotors. The hubs will be redrilled to 4 X 100 so I can use a greater variety of wheels, likely 15s in the rear and 14s up front. Coilovers and Blistin revalved shocks along with camber plates fill out the suspenion changes.

We are completely removing the Fiat wiring harness and rewiring the car with new wire and relays. The engine management system will be isolated from the other electronics in the car.

When we start the cage installation, I will begin posting pictures showing each stage of the project. I am hoping to have it mostly completed in 6 months....
