A little update... Made a new battery mount in my "state of the art" work shop
:
Weather outside...5 degrees F, chill factor -13 F
Illluminated switches next to PA mike. Left to right, PIAA, Whelen, Venom, XP3 Hornet deer avoidance.
Miles of wiring, soldering, shrink tubing later, it sorta looks neat. The PA mike is attached to THE Mother of all horns, the Whelen PAP112 electronic airhorn...same one used in emergency vehicle It doesn't have siren so I believe it's perfectly legal for civilian use. Of course, it is strictly for emergency use only 
When armed, the horn button activates both the Mini's and the Whelen. Needless to say, when I hit the horn for the first time, my wife knew something was up from the other end of the house 
Not to mention that I nearly crapped my shorts. Don't do that in an enclosed garage or your ears will bleed
All I want for Christmas is the AGS and some sweet weather

Anyone out there creative enough to sync the Mini's rpm to digital samples from a Ferrari V12 ? Now that would be entertaining Weather outside: 0 F

Too cool for school
Your car is *hot* MSFITOY! Let us know how the HAI and new 400cc injectors work. Btw, have you had any head, cam, intake manifold work done? Keep up the great work!

No...none of that yet. Of course, if this weather keeps up, I'll have plenty of time to change that Do you have the 400 injectors? What color nozzle are you using?Msfit's up on stilts ready for NO2 plumbing. Bumper's off awaiting M7's AGS
MSFITOY- That SSR or M-series looking decal you have on the front bumper....did you make that out of e-tape or did you buy that somewhere?
I'd like to get something like that too since I have SSR's. :smile:
My winter project? Install the helix shortshifter adapter I got today
sometime next week... but I need to go buy some 2x4's and make a
ramp extension so that I can get my cars up on those Rino ramps from
the front. I keep using my jack stands but ramps are so much easier...

Sid,
have you looked into what the Uni-Chip is going to do when you hit the button? how about just running the injectors with the "Chip" with out hitting the button? are you going to have to custom tune it or are you not going to run it?
i did see the bumper on the floor in the photo....

Maybe Detroit Tuned can help me with that after winter? Will have to contact Randy to find the right Dyno facility.

Unfortunately, I'm deeply tied to the auto industry so I'm stuck here
But, on the bright side, NOBODY enjoys spring-summer-and fall like us Midwesterners
