Car is loaded on trailer, heading to EVOMS....

Well, it was a nice day in MI here today and I dragged the car out of storage. It is headed to AZ and a date with Todd and John at EVOMS. It is going to get the Joetwint "light" makeover. I didnt get to drive the car today since my EVOMS Frankenfuel twin pump fuel system is on John's desk in Tempe, so I just winched it on.. Should be down there the middle of next week and hopefully a car from Brooklyn will be joining mine on the trip down! I will update as we go.... and yes, that is a Switzer exhaust in a box on the sidewalk

KPG,

The car is really clean looking, we will all be anxious what types of mods,
turbos, etc you decide to go with. I am sure you will be happy very soon.
Good luck!

MK

Kevin -- Is that your trailer? It looks nice, very clean (as does your 996tt). Good luck with the "'light' makeover".

I was wondering what happened to the 4a kits. How long was your car down with that whole situation?

Good luck with Evoms and I hope your car turns out great

I am probably? far enough away to ask what a lot of others really want to know--all without prying etc
You have in the past been very vocal on these forums and led a lot of cynicism towards others and the time taken ,actual results etc and by and large have gone missing(from almost daily to very occasional posting) for some time on not commenting or answering in relation to your own situation. That said-- I think a lot of us would like to know more detail of what has transpired with your engine and your previous choices.

Yes, that is my trailer. It is truly a custom unit from the ground up. I spent lots of time designing the trailer and the interior modifcations. Everything ends up being a compromise in a trailer like this that does a little bit of everything. It would have been a lot easier to build a trailer for the same vehicles everytime, but that just isnt realistic. Good luck with your turbo upgrades, let me know how they perform.... Kevin

The bottom line, KPG is an idiot! who would have thier car down this long for a build? we're not building a space shutle here .
