What I want to see next is a youtube video of this monster on a track from all perspectives. Drive by's, in-car cam, and from the back from a standing start!
Great work. I sure wish I had a shop and the cash to do something with my boxster on a scale like this. It's really impressive work.
I do hope you'll offer Subaru conversions for customers at some point in the future.

Very impressive! The project has come a long way since its inception. Your fabrication skills are outstanding.
( the view from the rear reminds me of Barbara Streisand for some reason...)

Amazing work. I'm looking forward to your testing and ..... eventually your "street" version ideas. Hopefully they will be able to work with the topless nature of the Boxster.

I've been working on the final assembly lately. It's basically down to some fluid plumbing (accusump, oil coolers, scavange pump etc) and finishing up the chassis harness and then I should be able to try and fire the motor. The air jacks work though...

So the air jacks are built right into the subframe, huh?
That's slicker than snot on a doorknob. I had no idea they even existed!
I gotta put that down as a wish-list item for a future mod!!!

No, the air-jack tubes are welded into the chassis itself.

Finishing up the wiring. Decided to build a new chassis harness from scratch to save weight and simplify things. I'll update with more pictures soon.
