Well, it's from L.A. and it looks like it's hanging out at the deliver center near you! (Hey, tracking number... ).

Vanne,

Geez, now we're all a-twitter regarding your mysterious big Box o' Stuff! For now I'll assume it's a new crate V-10 motor for a Dodge Viper that you're going to (somehow) stuff into the Z4MC…

Yes, that glorious CSL intake growl... Doesn't get much better. Hope to follow in your footsteps on that glorious mod in the future.

As for the big box... Looking forward to the reveal sir!

The BOX is in..



luckily no severed heads…









So what was in the box???

2 Momo Start chairs.. (Doh!! going to have to sell them, they are just a tad bit too tight, i mean i can fit in them, and if it was purely a track car, id keep them, but for anything longer than 45 mins its going to be too tight..

2 sets of side mount

1 set of DKF Hangers

3 sets of 90 angle seatbelt anchors

1 Helmet

1 Sparco Nomax race suit

1 seat slider

Gotta re-think the seats… sigh, i knew it was gonna be touch and go, just unlucky, just a tad bit too tight.. ah well back to the think tank.
The Seats are up for grabs in the for sale section heavily discounted and ill pay for shipping…

on the up side, i now have to find wider seats…

Ian that /other/ box is also on its way here…

Daaaang, that box was loaded. Shame about the seats, though. Trial and error seems to be the name of the game with our cars with some of these things. Good luck with the sale, though. Hopefully they move quickly.

Looks like you'll still be able to have some fun with the other goodies, though.

I can't even imagine the amount of time and money it would take to make a project like that successful and able to drive reliably.

Initial vehicle cost
Cost of Viper engine
Engine management hardware/software
Transmission components
Custom exhaust components
Miscellaneous engine bay components
Labor (probably an insane amount)

Craziness, but impressive. I'm betting it can attain Ludicrous Speed with ease. :
