    Ok that makes sense, makes it easier for me to visualize how it all pulgs toghether. So A.S. does sell a harness kit stand alone then thats good to hear. I was wondering about that, wondered if they sold thier harness and engine assessory kit stand alone, I assume accessory kit for alternator and AC too.

    Just checked out that intake and TB, that is nice parts. Your gonna throw up a big number on the dyno and I bet the response will be telepathic.

    Well, Its ALIVE.

    Had a hard time as a 5th grader must have made the engine harness (five wires in wrong locations of the ECU plug)
    3 hours of pin by pin and it finally started.
    I had a tuner down south reprogram ECU for all the modifications and it purrs.

    The Italian-- all self contained in wheel with one data link that plugs into OBDII port.
    You program shift lights with laptop. Directionals, I used a motorcycle directional box that is all low current.
    Horns are built into grips of wheel.

    John-- Sounds like a plan once I get past DMV, sending paper work next two weeks hopefully.

    Hi Pete,
    The car is not on the road yet, I'm about to install windshield then submit paper work to DMV.
    Should be a couple of weeks after that.
    Just in time for the better weather.

    Been too busy shoveling and digging out up here.
    I'll post more pics when I have the chance.

    Wow 9953 views. Hopefully it lives up to the Hype.
    All in all it has been an uneventful build. Only hic cups were self made mistakes.
    Factory support is top shelf, emails are answered overnight and if you call a human answers.
    All paper work for NY DMV will be going out next week, hopefully I will have a short wait for Auto crime inspection and they should issue VIN during inspection.
    Next day go to DMV and start driving.

    I just a matter of the body lines, I was looking for something that resembles a Daytona Prototype that was street legal.
    Don't get me wrong the GTM is a great looking car.

    I think if I was going for the "super car" I would have a tough time choosing.

    Past visual inspection for DMV, that's the easy part, just send them four photos. Next is the more stressful part (auto crime inspection).
    Once Auto crime finishes their inspection, they issue the VIN right there.
    Next day I can register this beast.

    Took it out for a quick 10 mile ride, holy **** this thing accelerates without even trying.
    No major problems, just a few little rattles to chase down.

    Yess Rscocca, people are picky, but that beast you have now finished looks amazing... just curious why you swapped out all the digital guages for the blue dial ones?

    Ultimately did not like the way the digital blues looked. Plus had a hard time getting tach calibrated and seemed like a lot of lag when I reved engine for tach to catch up.

    New gauges are Speedhut, everything works as they should.

    Unfortunaly only able to put about 100 miles on it before I damaged the nose.
    Backing car off trailer and a D ring flipped up and caught the nose. Been about a month since then and body shop is having a real hard time matching paint. Need British standard Oxford blue. Only maker is this paint is Praragon in England and they cannot ship to US do to EPA rules.


    BUT, those first 100 miles were a lot of fun. Car is not a heavy as one would think for the steering or braking. No PS or PB but is stops real fast and turns are crisp.

    You really have to learn to control the right pedal and clutch when accelerating it will spin the tires real quick if you don't pay attention.


    Good news is the body shop may have a match (just got a call) a minute ago.

    We'll see in a day or two.
