SAS Black Beauty starting to take shape. One of the delays was a wiring problem caused by the random generator on the anti theft system. Subaru had a better idea. With The wiring completed the assembly of the car can proceed.This is a flared car with a 300HP STI turbo motor. I am using a 5 speed because the 6 speed is a few thousand more....I would rather spend a few thousand on other things for the car.Here are the first pictures for your review......

It always makes me happy to see work-in-progress pictures.
That's a whole lot of wiring in there.
I like the windshield frame and the headrest on the seat. Is that a dummy, or is that the style of seat you're using?
For some reason, headrest seats look a little out of place on Speedster-bodied cars, but that looks quite contemporary on the full-windshield Cabriolet.
No LED'S I want bright.....I don't want the "never saw the motorcycle until I hit it"......The seat you see is the final one. The headrests are removable and my plan is to use them on long trips and remove them around town....Cory... I wanted simple wiring like yours (very nice job by the way) but to many things require a computer for control. Here are a couple of examples.... one is mine.. try to guess which one is which?

Weekly update.....Well, we have started on the interior.... gauges are in ...Note the boost gauge in place of the clock...Clock will be located in the already too small glove box....We have included drive by wire technology "electronic throttle" so there will be no throttle linkage..I still remember my 911 with all those cabs and linkage which were almost impossible to synchronize

Pretty easy to get it right when you have 30 months to think it through. Adding a old radio but will only light up but looks right. Stereo system with IPOD will be up front with the remote under the dash. The fire supperesion system tank will be located in the back where most air cooled engines hang out. Exhaust will be 4" exiting like the old 79 turbo porsche's on the left...No muffler two cats in series with the turbo using the excess energy......

Wow..... how can you sleep? My car has 300 to 400 miles on it with no serious problems but it's in Tennessee and I am in Santa Barbara. You will have a great time is BC...I have been there a couple hundred times in the past 20 years. Wonderful people and great scenery...If you get a chance go to Victoria one of the nicest places on the West coast. With the new car what a treat it would be to spent a day or two there. Also the old growth on Vancouver Island would be one of the best drives in Canada....Boy am I jealous......... Remember Vancouver is where Vince learned about pole dancing.............
