Haven't posted in a while but thought I would check in with my Aggie Auto brothers and sisters.

Lotus LS Swap project is still moving along, got all of the TT kit done and everything in the car. New AST dampers are on and the Fikse FM5's are in production. Still needs Axles, and a bit more fab work along with actually getting it to run but kind of on the back burner right now.

GTS-R is not getting many miles put on it since the values started to move way up on them, but I am taking it to Las Vegas next week so it will get some track time.

And now to my favorite new project.

How about a Barn Find, NEVER titled still on MCO, 3,000 mile GMC Syclone!

I am prepping this truck to take to Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale.

And a couple pics of my oldest daughter. Another local Houston "Viper" Aggie with his little girl as well at a tech day that I sponsored at my shop.

This Car is the Viper that we crashed at the Nurburgring when we went 7:01 setting the US Production car lap record in Germany last year. It will be completely rebuilt by the end of this week.

That lotus is going to be a fun car. I still really want to build a low end rally car, but there are no proper rally courses to drive in Texas.

So many projects and things that I want, so little time (and money).

To quote Nick Cage from Gone in 60 Seconds, "What else do you have in the warehouse?"

(Referring to where the gmc came from)

The Syclone is one hell of a find. That's always been one of my top "I'll have one some day" vehicles. Is that a red Typhoon next to it in the barn pics?

The Syclone story deserves its own thread (it was that cool/crazy of a find and purchase). I will say that that story is still being written as I'm buying a second Syclone from him with 5,724 Miles on the clock and selling this one.

This one with no owners and so low miles is really too nice to drive and belongs in a collection somewhere (in my opinion). Going to buy the other one and drive it.

That Edelbrock manifold on the Lotus looks Italian. Fun stuff. What kind of transaxle are you running in it?

It has a new Graziano in it from the Gallardo/Audi R8.

Cool. I didn't figure that the stock lotus box would be up for the torque.

I still remember back in the mid-90's in Amarillo watching a highly modified Syclone and motorcycle take off from a rolling start and racing down 45th. That Syclone stayed neck and neck with the motorcycle around the curve and out of sight. It was amazing to watch with my own eyes.

Whatever you do for a living, let me know so that I can quit my job and do that.
