Welcome! Remember seeing your build on another forum 8) I love the Lamborghini Countach replicas, you have a great start and a sweet looking motor! Can't wait to see your build thread  ;D

Bottlefed, welcome to the site.

This is my favorite Countach builds and I've been following it on the other site.  Can you please start a build diary in the Countach section of this site and I'll try to bring some other Countach builders (past and present) here also.  The Countach would be my next choice for another build and I really love the EVO concept. 

Thanks,

Chris

Thank you very much... And yeah I'd love to start a diary here. I'm on graves, so I should be able to start one in the next couple days. I'll probably start from the beginning, just so no-one will be lost :)
  Thanks again... Your comment is greatly appreciated!

I'm not looking for extreme numbers because I can't afford a tranny that can handle it, but I'll be pushing the limits Of the 915 at around 500-550 on 6-7 psi :) Ill be totally happy with that...

Can I get a job at the McDonald's that you work at???  That motor is beautiful you have put some really good work into your car.  Welcome to this site and I will be waiting to see your build thread also.

dang.......Mcdonalds.  That was where I got my first job when I was 15.  It's hot and greasy back there next to those grills.  Good luck with your build.  I love the Countach.  Still makes me go "Whoa" when I see one.

Sounds great. Plus you could always upgrade the trans someday if you wanted to push a little more psi and bring er up into the 700hp range  ;D

That car looks great. What pedal assembly are you using?

I was going to go with Honda stuff, but I think I've decided to make my own pedals to get the right curvature... :) Hondas are very simple and may work in other applications well
