Beautiful car, great thread.
I'm just surprised you did all that awesome work but installed the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car.

Hi MrRPJ,
How is this crazy build going, I saw on the Aussie Porsche forum that you already had the first startup? Very interested what you are planning for headers, those 180° ones on the red Renegade Hybrids LS7 car would take quite an effort to build but sound really amazing. Cheers, Lukas |

Where’s this up to mate? Subaru 5MT holding up?
Did the shift rod need to come through the fire wall? |

Great Build. How is your car engine temps doing? Have you done any test where you try different RPM's for 30 minutes with recorded outside temps to see where you get rise in temps? Did you make that rear radiator aluminum overflow tank. Looks nice!

I love this build, are you still running the Subaru trans? I think you had mentioned a g96? trans option at some point?

Small up date. The old girl split a bore on track. it was an $800 unknown engine. So i decided to treat it a little. Gen4 rotting assembly and heap of other goodies should really wake the old girl up.
