Thanks sure appreciate it. I like V8's but I got a 2.3 and I love it. I'm very proud of it because I can stomp most honda ricers.

Thanks. Like said appreciate it. I make up for 4 cylinder with boost. But my buddy has a 2001 v-6 with 80mm turbo. His son has a older one with a smaller turbo, daughter has another v-6. And his buddies drag race v-8. Lot of my parts came from castoffs from a 5.0 guy so everyone works together and enjoy there cars. Here is his car. Goes by Shiner on the forums.

Oh Me being dense. I thought you were joking around. That is not my car and yes it is battery. Me or buddy didn't build it. Delk built it. But that is another story. He has been having a time with the tuning. I agree. It ought to be in somekind of protection. Me personally I would do like you said and use some aircraft metal with rubber insert anchors. Sorry about that. At least I had a laugh about it. Undercarriage of mine is here. Shows the 3" exhaust. And yes I hate that offset. Had local muffler shop make it was out of 3" mandrel and wife wanted car back. After all it is her daily driver. Maurice

I would do that cable over thats fore shure. I normally run the + cable inside the car and put it inside a heater hose for protection. The photo shows it under the car hanging down to much. Well thats the way he did it so i guess he is happy with it . Peace TOM

Tom Renzo. That is about all my friend has been doing to that car. Redoing, When bought car had been at speed show for 4 years. Motor rebuild etc etc. He got car and broke motor in etc. Then motor started acting up. Took it apart and they had a journal on crank ground out of round. Got it back together etc. New crank, another rebuild. And took to dyno. And tune was messed up. Then a head cracked. Redone this now it has blown a freeze plug. He is just a little agrivated say the least. Maurice

They are getting old and go out real early in the morning. Hows everything going dude. I here you welder DUDE i have been there myself a fiew times. Well looks like a real nice car with a cell in the trunk and all. Is he planning on fixing it up. Looks like a nice ride. We cant run cells on a street car in my state its a It does not stop me but i got busted for it. I got stopped by a statie on 91 headed to MASS. The guy hated cars MAN. He went over the whole car and slammed ME. I paid the ticket and it was a donation to the state troopers of the great state of MASS. This guy was a poster BOY for GODZILLA. Hay who gives a flip. I had a good time and i could care less. Peace guys and keep on banging GEARS. TOM
