Shop sure felt lonely without this monster in it today. I'll cherish those 160mph pulls uphill on the I-15 for a while with Josh giggling.

Yeah, what a trip. Really too much power and not enough brake. Trying to slow down from being sling shoted to that speed had the brakes smoking and totally faded out. Had to use engine braking as best as possible. The pulls felt like the type of acceleration on my Kawasaki ZX10RR Definitely enough power to get you in jail or worse. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear pulls are as much as you can handle and takes full attention. It will take some serious balls to try to push the car in 6th gear. 
Good for adrenaline junkies or pulling up next to some unsuspecting victim. First time to drive the car in years. Love it! Definelty has to have coil overs and massive brakes. It is going to take some serious discipline to drive the car normally and not hard boost pulling around just to feel your gut get sucked into the seat and hear the turbo spool up. I think Hank was yelling something about having kids and starting to get a little nervous trying to put his feet through the floor and gripping the door handle. Didn't need to ask him to put his seatbelt on

This was a long time coming and I lost patience many times along the way and thought I would never get to drive it again. It has come a long way since pulling out the 20 valve and 5 speed. I owe a big thanks to these guys that directly had part in this somehow.

Awesome! So happy that the car is straight up ridiculous. Now git some brakes on there!

Hell yeah! So glad to hear that this has turned out to your liking. Can't wait to see some footage of this one day! Fastest 10v-bodied t44 ever? Most likely

These were supposedly a limited edition for D11's in France. Here is the only picture I could find of them. I'm thinking it will look better next to the CAC clear turn signals rather than the standard turn signals.
If you didn't find I can take a look, I know a few people that may have those
Don't forget you have a few frenchies on PP guys, we may be helpul
And just "for science", in France, until early 90's, cars had to have yellow beams (ou yellow tainted glasses)
For exemple, this E36 is "OEM"

If you can find a set, I definitely want them. I have been trying to contact the person that I know has them but he only answers his phone every couple of months. It would be much appreciated.

Just got a new set. I think it's going to pretty good looking and definitely rare. Now I need to do the 20v fender/V8 front bumper conversion I have been stocking up on to use them.

I have a go pro and might make a video this week. I have been home for over a week now and it has been raining the whole time I have been here.
A buddy of mine has a new 6 speed Camaro SS with a 6.2 liter motor in it. I want to run against him when I make the video. He was wanting to play around and run against me until I gave him a ride and now he only wants to race me if he uses his CBR 1000RR.

My VEMS Bluetooth adapter and power cord came in today. I also found a 6 foot long USB-serial cable at Radio Shack for $24.00 to connect to the laptop.

I have a couple days of delay. I'm waiting on longer wheel bolts. I ordered them from ECS Tuning and they should be in on Wednesday. When I put larger brakes, I had to get 8mm spacers from Apikol for the wheels to clear the Porsche 996 calipers. The 8mm spacers make it where I have to find longer bolts and I couldn't find them "on the shelves" at any local stores in Houston. Bigger brakes were mandatory. There were hot molten specs of steel flying off of the rotors and embedded themselves into the aluminum wheels when they hit. Soon though. I also ordered more Wilwood racing brake fluid that has a boiling point of 417 degrees ferenheit. I also put some stainless steel brake lines.
