Not as green as it seems....jealousy-wise

Don't get me wrong--the car performs admirably; but form and function and all that you know.

For the short term, I'm going to get another block and solve the seepage problem I'm having after mating a re-surfaced head to my non-re-surfaced block. Then we'll see what happens when we crank up the boost.

For the long term, I'm going to go with Nick's suggestion and go for a fully built Evo IX engine (harness, new AEM, etc) and then see what I can do with the car. Maybe if I get enough money next year back from taxes...or a relative expires...or I win the lottery...or I marry into money. Aw heck...I'll probably have to sell body parts to get more mods done!

I already have a flyby vid but it's not that good unfortunately, i'm going to have to make a new one. The camera I use doesn't pic up sound for sh*t. My buddy Chuck is supposed to add some rear shots!

Get a launch on that vid too unless you're one of those guys who doesn't launch. Oh by the way you should be able to mis-shift and still be in the 11's with that thing. If ya don't I'll have to slap you when I see you again...haha lol
