Life happens while you're busy making other plans..... pretty ambitious build and he seemed to be making good progress. I think I read somewhere in the thread that his job took him back to Spain or something like that. Project was going into storage? Hope he gets back to it and finishes.

I guess I'd like to think all these great projects get finished and they are so much fun to drive that they never find time to get back here to post the results.... Very Happy

I can think of several right now I'd like to get an update on...

Maybe it wasn't as easy as he planned?

Maybe he passed out and crashed from breathing all the exhaust blowing in his face.

wow, that thing is going to be sick. If you put some street tires on it I wonder how it would do in autocross?

Muffle it a bit and it would sound like a turbine. Very cool. Buena suerte en Espana.

We had an Evo VIII and I have a feeling the Widow Maker will have similar power. Ours was modified and was one fast vehicle! This vehicle will either be a blast to drive or a nightmare! Good luck. Will it go to Spain with you or sold?
