did some detail work on the car and actually drove it today. the clutch is super hard to drive as of now. I have the master turned in so that it engages close to the floor to try not to over engage. I killed it a few times and adjusted it a little higher. It started to bog the motor down so I must have been over extending it. I put it back in and it was not bogging it down but i had to rev the piss out of it as its very grabby. I may try a pedal stop and keep trying to mess with it. Other than that a few small things to do. Here is a few pics.

thanks all I am very happy with the way it all turned out. Today andre welded an extra muffler on and it looks very bad ass. It is not as loud as my magna flow i had last year, but I really wasn't happy with the way that one looks. The open pipe was a bit much as the sheet metal covering the old spare tire hole was vibrating like crazy. I think i'll end up with a cut out in the future, but for now it's great. I had a big set back with the smim today. I had a huge boost leak as the flange wasn't true. I also had one of the bolt hole strip. We welded in the hole a tapped it. trued the flange and again the hole stripped wtf. also still had a bit of a leak. I think we may try and tap that hole to the next size up standard bolt and now I wonder if the flange being made for the 70mm s90 is a bit too big for my 1g nt tb. The twin disk is getting a bit easier to drive but now I notice how loud and chattery they really are. Also the car seems to rev up on shifts too, I thought that was strange.

^ thanks man. i'm not sure why you can't hear it. maybe its the volume on photo bucket. I couldn't figure out another way to render it on the forum. As far as the bumper goes thanks for the comment, I love the way it looks head on. It's very aggressive looking for sure. Damn twin disks are loud. I feel dumb driving it in town the way it chatters. I can't wait to break the car in so i can start tuning, so when people look at me like my car is broke I can just take off lol.

Mark I won't be able to make it to pg1 but plan on going to 2. Was really hoping to go to Brainerd this weekend but just never happened. Some good weather for it for sure. Spent a ton of time trying to wrap this up this weekend. My first downpipe and custom stainless upper pipe, had stuff to start with but nothing worked on exhaust after getting my manifold reflanged. Really getting excited to get it started
