Well I forget to update this. About 2 days after I got the 3rd gen, my 1st gen (that I had been racing, and driving to work daily) lost all compression. Go figure
Luckily I found out that a local guy had a race-built bridgeport motor for sale. To be more competitive next year (especially auto-x) I know there's a lot to do. Aside from the motor swap I hope to have the interior stripped, battery relocated, at least a rollbar if not full cage and race seats.
No Limit Industries has been gracious enough to let me use their space to work on my car. All those guys plus some local rotary guys and general car guys have been helping me out tremendously. Lots of work has been done so far, but there's still lots to go.
They also remember to take pictures, because I always forget. I need to find all the different stages of what's going on.
