Most have seen this car well...sitting around at the local car shows from time to time. I lost interest in the whole thing for a while when i was in college and decided I was going to get back into it but in a different way this time. Basically was tired of just cleaning it and not racing. Made a few changes to the turbo setup and just got it down to Craigs yesterday to get a tune on this bastard. Craig and Adam both went above and beyond my expectations on trying to get this combo to work. I think we have come to the conclusion though, that it needs a new cam and valvesprings. So...hopefully we can get the parts ordered and put on soon.

Here are a couple pictures of what we have been working on. HUGE thanks to my boy Brad for spending many late nights to help make the changes. He has been there for me from the beginning of this project and are both hoping to see this thing make some nice numbers shortly. (The first pictures are of the new turbo that got hungry one day, notice the screen on the rest of the pictures...hahaha....dammit!)

Since we made the thing go, we now have to stop! so, we put the 13" brake kit from SSBC, and are ironing out some issues with that now...I never use to drink....damn car! (I'll get pictures of Brad's handy work later)

I'm glad you finally came out of the closet. But, even after rehab, you should consider yourself a "recovering show Queen". Glad that twelve step program worked for you! :lol:

But seriously, I'm glad to see you're back at it.

What size turbo? I forget what cid you have too. Damn, it's been a while!

Is that Brad K. helping you? If so, tell him KMA! :cheers:

Good luck man! :bigthumb

Same old, same old. Cars back on jack stands, getting all kinds of new shit. Maybe someday! :o

Car looked good on the dyno. Now get those little problems solved and put down some real numbers!
