This will be hard to beat, especially with the perfect match in facial expressions. I'll try:
"VROOM! VROOM! SCREEE!!!"
"Kid, I need to do work in there."

Good god how long are those shifter cables?
nocones wrote: Good god how long are those shifter cables?
The length isn't the issue, the tightness of the bends required is. The less bending of the cables required, the better/longer they'll work.
Insanely long! I don't know the exacts, though.

Actually, I took a couple Viagra's that morning, and the radiator got stuck! Tom was kind enough to cut the radiator in half so I could get back to work. That is why Wayne looks so amazed.

So Bill, stop with the vaguely disturbing jokes and give us some of the inside scoop. For example, what was the clutch issue? Was it internal to the clutch or was it the actuation system? Was there something about the kit that needed modification? Was there anything kit-related that you needed to feed back to Factory Five?
Anybody been following Wayne's personal build? His shift cables come out the back.
Wow, good catch, Dennis. I wonder what car that assembly came out of? MR-2, maybe?
Or he made them. Making shift cables isn't terribly hard.
I believe it is an aftermarket shifter intended for certain Honda's getting k-series swaps. Wayne mentions it in his thread somewhere.

Its not vague! The clutch issue had nothing to do with the kit. Tom will be doing a video discussing the clutch . Keep watching the video updates, it will be on soon. This is an incredibile car!

Does anyone know how this might be registered? I am curious with a kit status if it requires factory ECU and emissions based on the year manufacture of engine or chassis. I realize every state is different.
How will this be setup for FL based registration? I am assuming it will be at the home office.
