Well,
Finally got done with the Roll Bar. Note to self....never pre-pay!!! The bar came out sweet....just as I wanted it, but the Fab shop had my car for 3 months!!! Yeah I know....I tried to stay calm thur most of the time but towards the end...I was ready to skin somone! Once i got in my car...all was good!!!
I had 1/2 tank of 92 octane in it and decided to run it off so I could do my first e85 swap when I ran into a blower issue. Looks like I'll be tearing the Techco down!! Its been a painful month trying to locate the needed details and I have to Give a GIANT Thanks to CAM for helping me with my hunt......Its gona suck if I miss this years race season.....I just hope in the end....We can find the parts and I can get my car back on the road. I've only had 1 hours worth of fun...since October of 2010!!
Here's a few Pics:

Well,
Other than a few close buddies who knew my pain...It was quiet the un-eventful race season last year. I just got my roll bar in and all the mods done to run e85 when I lost a main bearing in my Techco!! Holly Crap....I spend 6 months hunting and having parts built!! I was just about to tear mine down....when I came across a sweet deal on a used blower!! Actually I came across it twice!! I lost out the first time...but helped the new owner with hid install. HE must have felt sorry for me...cause a couple months later....he called and offered it to me and I snapped it up!!
I put in 1100 hours of O/T last year....so I only had 3 days during my x-mass break to tear mine down, swap some of my parts....and install it!
All is good again.....ready for a much better 2012!!
HEre's the blower as recieved...plenty of blue paint removal!!
Here it is after new paint:
