i was going to wait until the car was up and running before posting anything, but i just couldnt resist. things are coming along nicely, so here we go.
a little history:
i first bought the car almost 3 years ago and it has been through a good bit. it started out almost bone stock with a pretty low mile re-man in it. i drove it with a full turbo-back, intake, pfc, and tune for roughly ~20kmiles as my dd. then got power hungry and leaving the engine stock built a 35r kit around it and bumped the power up to 440whp on pump and meth at 18-19psi.
then to make a long story short back when we had the "gas crisis" i ended up with 87 in the tank and cracked an apex seal. i was mad for about 10 minutes then realized that gave me an excuse to build it even more.
so come to present day and i have all of my parts either ordered or waiting install and i plan to come to DGRR with it atleast running and being broken in.
