    So, a faulty main shaft seal was the issue with the transmission leak. All fixed now. Just drove my back road country loop and all I can say is wow! This car is faster than my Signal Yellow ST I built which is hard to believe. The ST has more grip but the car sticks great on the P7's. All sorted now and just fun in the future. The engine is unreal. The GT3 crank is really what makes a 3.5L so good. It has torque from the bottom to the top. It just keeps pulling all the way to 8K! The short gears are the perfect combination to the engine. The Elephant 930 brakes are amazing, suspension is just right and when you need heat in the cabin which we do in Oregon the SSI's provide more than enough. I added the side rocker decorative trim and the wheel caps. Now, I'm wondering do I install the 3.5L engine grill badge or keep the stealth 2.4L one on? I think I might fill the exhaust hole on the rear bumper as well.

    I painted the air filter cover black. No carbon fiber look for me. And yes, I changed the license plate frame but not because a fricking Niners fan wanted me to!

    Great looking car. I think it looks better with the exhaust hole filled.

    Very, very nice. I can't wait to see it. It will probably have to be next spring sometime, though, with winter now fast approaching.

    It will be great if you can share more about engine build ; shaft i know that it's gt3 but pistons and ods are they are as well from gt3 ?
    It's orginal core or did you bore smaller engine?

    Don't see on the pictures but are you using bosch mfi pump or you have different solution that you getting so much power?

    Amazing build for sure one of the best here.
