I didn't notice any subframe spacers. Were you able to avoid using them by cutting the trans tunnel for clearance?

exactly... I was running the subframe spacers on the green car but can't run them on the new car because of the rules. Had to cut the trans tunnel out for clearance and I will probably have to cut a small hole in the hood to clear the end of the valve cover

What was wrong with the green car? It looks so sad outside all alone.

Oh yes I think I've heard of that. One of 2013's new rules. I think I read it in one of DMACs ae86 read ups on speed hunter he enforced his tunnel real well.
Great build!!!!

Nice progress! This thread makes me feel like I'm taking short cuts on my F22c build!
Also, Can you post some details of how you did / are going to do the drive shaft?
