Default It Lives!

Well, After many months of making payments on a car with a blown engine thanks to ring failure then a very long wait (See my Sig) - I finally drove my long lost friend home from the Tuners with a very rich and safe break-in tune and managed to put 100 miles on her today around town all the while keeping her under 6000 RPM! Not an easy thing to do
The sound is pure magic to me and I can already see the Horror in my Neighbors eyes!
This is how it started with just a crate after a Looooong wait! Thanks Joe Alaniz

Two springs, Not just one

Install complete on the way for the Tune

I had some time to install some stuff

No more room under the hood



Yes, I know it's not pretty but I just got her back - She needs to be cleaned up and painted, Cut me some slack I have been busy

A HUGE AND I MEAN HUGE, Thanks to Fournier's Automotive in Orlando for helping me through this

Don't be a hater. You'll be there soon. None of us got to be fast right away.

Oh Wait! I bought mine supercharged and Pappy bought his turboed from Chris.

Never mind!

Welcome Back!! So it was ring failure that did the other motor in. Did you have any money left for a new clutch?

Nice to hear you got your car up and running.
Now I just have to wait to get mine running again. Still just waiting for a crank rods and pistons. Just won't go anywhere with out those.
Your car looks real good and will definetly kill a lot of cars on the street.
Watch out for UC 50. Not a good thing to expierince.
Happy driving!
