Projector and carbon mount plate..

Cree X SMD LED inside projector for parker lamp..

Driveshafts fit perfectly..
Image

Exhaust, link pipe back..
Image

Another view
Image

In place (link pipe, cables, etc)
Image

Exhaust/no rear muffler
Image

Exhaust system complete
Image

Unsure as to whether I will bother with an ECU controlled valve, opening the exhaust up to a pair of alternate tailpipes under certain conditions.
See how it sounds first, then decide to add that function.

As for now, need to get:
Coilovers
Air filter setup (prob BMC OTA)
Fabricate/buy airbox.(Considering ACT Products HAB400)

Finish mounting/setup/aim headlamps
Get the thing set up and tuned!

Okay, I'm officially impressed! 8)

The power to weight ratio is going to be insane... How much does the 1997 S1 weigh anyway? Surely well under a tonne...

Love it.

Wish those cars didn't have such a price tag to them, I would own one in a heart beat.

Hey Clint, looking great. I'd be wary of those brake rotors though if you're planning to do any track work. Slotted to the edge like they are have a much higher tendency to crack. If they start to crack at the edge in the slots throw them away asap.
