yes. i agree. i expected that there was so much work put into your rear suspension and fuel supply. it wreaks of simplicity, but it's a good stink.

Today i installed one of the engines that i had in my back yard. Now i am going to start building the exhaust manifold. Any ideas where to support the turbo. Right now i am going to try the water housing.

Good ???? for the people that dont know maybe the 12a makes less power than a 13b but the 12a is stronger. And also to be diferent. A good example is New Dereck racing he has a 12a and he is doing 7.7 170 MPH

Lemme guess....going for the 12A world record? If Dyson can run 8's in a 12A Rx2...I'm sure you can do equally well.

Best of luck...looks bad *** by the way!
