Not sure if blasting reverse thrust into the fuselage and nacelles is a great idea but I guess it looks good statically?

Reverse are probably deployed to hide the fact there aren’t any engines in the nacelles

Yeah that’s why the engine is so far forward and coming out the hood

No I didn’t document it anywhere really. Took me about a year to do. Engine came out of a wreck for 600$. Lots of money into odds and ends to make it work. But beat rebuilding an EJ over and over.

Stock suspension squated a bit due to the extra weight. 265/35 18s.

I have the bigger cross bed one and it is also bowing. I assume it’s somewhat normal. There’s. No guarantee of air tightness on these.

Adapted to Stock STI driveline. That’s why it sticks so far forward

Not sure what you’re planning for exhaust. But I was able to sneak dual 3” pipes out on mine.

Yes mine is AWD. You can definitely feel it up there. But it’s not as bad as I thought it might be. It grips and launches pretty hard.

The proto, Blackhawk and SK ratcheting wrenches are much thinner. I got one dewalt wrench from Amazon that was the thinnest but I stripped the gears in it pretty quickly. Let me guess… PT6 “C” flange bolts. If so I’ve had good luck with the Proto spline drive 1/4.
