Thank you To Karl and MSS (The Pinto build) - Focaljet

TO Karl and MSS................IT was worth the wait.... only 2 things to bitch about

1)1st and 2nd gear are now pointless

2)Time to get a exhaust that is a little quieter.

Karl and Steve drove the car all the way from MSS to my garage. Poor Steve had to lose some hearing on that road trip.

Now for the car

I need to get a Digi-camera to take pics but the engine looks like it should be in a art museum.
-The sound is orgasmic (minus the fact that anything over 3,000 RPM is louder then a F-16C at full mil-power

).
-Lightweight flywheel is going to take a few miles to get use to. 1,000 to 5,000 RPM the first few times was pretty shocking with just a tap of the go-go pedal(I think the neighbor guy with the M3 Smiled).
-The suspension upgrades are great the damn car rides better then my SVT.
- Some would say 250/230 is not enough I would agree but it is a damn fun start

no pix?

It was 8. And he dropped it off early before our request. And then we decided to do a bunch more work that originally planned. And we spread it out to make a sizeable investment easier to swallow.

It did take a little longer than expected, but I think the results are phenomenal.
