Default Did some weekend modding!!!

OK with a Supercharger the stock engine cover no longer fits, so I went on Ebay motors and ordered an OEM cover, some Phastek Engine Cover Brackets. And with the use of a Scroll saw, Dremel tools (cutter/sander), enamel model paint, heat lamp, lots of cutting, measuring, inspecting, cutting, measuring, inspecting, cutting, measuring, inspecting...

I did this!

That's great,I see you put in quite a bit of time making it the beast it is,being supercharged with a new exhaust system,it can easily run with the ZR1 without spending 60k
