Well, it seems we are back on for the slide throttles!!

I will let Logan discuss reasons and all. I am very happy about that.

Yes, we were having issues finding a source for needle bearings on the slide throttles. And after testing the teflon versions had too much friction for easy driving. I did do dyno runs with the teflon slide throttles with excellent results however.

So after that brief detour the ITB's will be machined out shortly and good to go!

Since the rear fenders were basically modeled off of the Mariah front fenders, we decided to just modify the Mariah fender instead of the original metal fenders.

Here is a look on how it was done. Still waiting for final paint after the holidays.

My car should be at Defined in the next three weeks.
