I need new seats but these will be fine for this summer.

More pics to come.(2.5 175hp black max)
Carbon fiber dash kit is in the process of being installed, as well as Alot of cosmetic work.
 
Just hooked up the new controls tonight, and the guages will be done tomorrow, then she's ready to rock!
The kid who built it had it on an MX-15 and it did close to 90. It shouldn't be too much slower. I lookin to get it about 80.

ill, how stable is yours once you get over 65??
I am gonna test mine without a jack plate, but i'm thinking i'm gonna need it.
 
as long as you have all your weight even, you will be fine. mine wants to walk bad when its just me. with a passenger its all good. you want to make sure your steering is tight with no play. this will be key when your balancing on that 8" pad.
 
Thanks ill, i just mounted the battery and the oil tank on the passenger side. I hope that is enough. I am going to try running it with a 15 gallon gas tank in the back and see how it rides...The stearing is new performance stearing (i forget what its called) but it is tight with no play.
Is your tank in the front or back??

Once i get it running the way i want it i am getting a new carpet, guages, handles, steering wheel, and i made a sweet template for a custom carbon fiber dash. I will keep the board posted on the progress.
