My rear wheels will be delivered on Thursday so I should have the tires mounted and installed on Friday. Still waiting on the front wheels to be shipped.
So Bandimere next week?

You don't need no front wheels

Just do a wheelie everywhere you go

If everything goes perfectly I might get to make some test passes soon. It won't be at full potential but I can at least get a feel for things.

Ya that is pretty cool! Plus you saved me about $50 which I will put to good use buying something I need for the car

Yeah, but the car totals in the next video. Sad to see that!

How can you even put on those slim tires and race a 3000 hp TT car? It's beyond me.

Gears are done! I have to thank Lexiion for that too, it was one of the guys from the local mustang club that he recommend to come over and set them up. I think I can do this on my own next time, it was tricky but doable with the correct tools. So glad this is done! Tomorrow I will put the rest of the parts back on and take it for a test drive.

I figured I would just post this here because it has a much larger following than my thread. I talked to Eric at Super Six today and he just announced that they will be selling a kit that allows you to bolt 3.5 EB turbos onto NA 3.5 and 3.7L engines. From what he tells me I believe the kit will fit the Mustang without issue, but of course it's tight. I can't say what they will sell for but it should be cheap enough to undercut any of the turbo kits currently available, probably even on the used market. This would be a great option for those of you who like the idea of this swap but aren't up for the amount of work and money involved in getting it done.

That's really cool! Those turbos are cheap on eBay, used they go for $150 each. They need to prefab the turbo piping and include an intercooler for a total package.

I have to ask...Why there. No room on the wheel.
You have a great build in progress. been watching from beginning to hopefully the race day. Please post a vid.
To be honest; I'm disappointed when there's no new post on your progress.
When can we see a video of some test drives. So much has been changed on that car its hard to keep up.

Whoops I said trans brake but what I meant was line loc. On the wheel I'll have nitrous and trans brake buttons. I put the line loc there so it's out if the way and it's easy to reach for burnouts, and it won't get accidentally activated there.

I should be able to drive the car tonight, I can probably get some new video in the next few days.

3D printed the steering wheel switch plate for the driver side. I'll sand the part flat and paint it before installing.
