What are you doing on Dec. 2nd - 5th? If you come to Thunderhill, the guys that actually fab the car (including the harness) and the engineer will be there along with the engine builders from ESX. They could probably make some recommendations to get you going in the right direction.

You might try contacting the guys at Renegade Hybrids as well. Their website is www.renegadehybrids.com They typically do SBCs into teeners, but would probably have good information on your cooling setup, and possible trans/block adapters.

Good luck,
Chris

So how much did that set you back, if you don't mind me asking?

I've been looking for another Subaru-powered track car, that looks pretty damn tempting!

By the time I have it all set up for next year I will have about 50k or so in it. Just sold a cobra race car for 52k....I hope I don't exceed that.

Hi Jeff,
If you want any info on this car contact me as it was originally built in my shop in NZ and I helped look after it during its time in the US until you bought it.

Gavin...nict to meet you, your sticker is still on the rear firewall!

Well I had a bit of bad luck the first time out in the car last Fall...I was rear ended on the track by a Corvette and did damage to the front and rear end. I had it repaired at Auto Sport Developement in MI. I am sure you know them, Chris has done a great job fixing it and making some improvments as well. I am having it repainted as well in Trenton at a nearby shop, the paint was a nightmare when I bought the car. I am looking forward to getting the car back next week.

I had it tuned by P+L here in Chicago and it now has 353 RWHP, they have been a great help...it really runs well. It's a big leap for me coming from vintage GT1 corvettes. Going to take my time learning this year and hope to start racing it with my son next year.

Keep in touch, I will send you a picture of the new paint, black and red.
