New pics are finally available!
For those of you who have been waiting patiently for pics of my car, the wait is over.
Right now there are just thumbnails available. The larger 640x480's are available but you have to look through the source code and manually change the file name removing the "-s" to see the larger, clearer picture. I'll get around to having the larger pics load through javascript REAL SOON but I just don't have the time today.
There are:
Pics of the ladder bar installation including the floor sectioning.
Pics of the rear firewall and everything mounted behind it.
Pics of the custom subframe connectors however I don't know how well you can determine how they are welded in.
Pics of the fabricated TH400 crossmember
Pics of the interior and engine compartment. Yes I know the car is dirty and it doesn't get much cleaner during the race season.
At least one pic shows under the dash to see the stripped down steering column and manual brake installation
UPDATE:
All available pics are now online and larger versions are just a simple click as long as you have javascript turned on.

yes I always have questions..
-do they really just let you seal the firewall against the glass like that, it seems like your rubber seal could melt and allow blowby
-if you made a firewall that came up part way and had a lid that was attached with some body fastners or something, is that legal too?
-why run a waterpump drive instead of an electric pump?
-did you run that big block at all this year??

The firewall just has to be sealed. and using the rubber seal is the only way with a hatchback.
You could make a lid type system also. It just wasn't practical for me.
Waterpump drive is much cheaper. Even when you add in the cost of the aluminum water pump.
I ran this engine for the last race of the season and on a test and tune Friday night a week after that. I wanted to get a baseline of what it could do before the winter projects.
