The bonnet (hood). Actually the car is a cooper S so the hood it came with is the one we will keep.

Y'know...I'm not usually a big fan of turbos, but man-oh-man do I LOVE the sound of a nice blow-off-valve!!!

Nice videos (and nice cars)!!!

Well the very first dyno run has been performaned and without any fuel, rev limit, or any software changes the car at the flywheel is pulling 277hp and 258 lb/ft of torque. This was done with 21psi of boost. Silver Sonic reaches max boost at 4100rpm. Tomorrow they are going to do some initial fuel mixture tests and do a few pulls with more boost and they are going to try and get a dyno chart emailed to me so I can show everyone. All runs are being performed by Dynojet at the Dynojet Factory in NV.

Well... I just saw fear in my best friend/roomates eyes!! I must have this. Please just give me a ballpark figure so I can start saving now. You see my roommate has a EVO VIII, and he would never want me to give him a hard time in my "clown car".
