Nov 27th - These powder coated Viggen wheels will be on the car.  The 225/45/17 Hankook summer tires will be on the car in the summer.  The 225/45/17 PrimeWell all-seansons will be on the car at all other times due to my 75 plus mile daily commute.

Aug 20th - The cars is back with Nick Taliaferro right now.  The Engine is being rebuilt, along with larger injectors, new fuel pump, forged pistons, T5 cams, stronger valve springs, top mount turbo manifold, and a Garrett GT3071R turbo with an internal wastegate running 20psi of boost.  The car will be set to run on 91 octane or E85.  It's also getting Taliaferro's new short shifter and the 300mm rear discs and calipers from the 9-5 Aero.  Bought a new set of Viggen wheels that are going to be powder coated black for normal driving, the old Viggen wheels get snow tires, and the O.Z. wheels are going to be used for shows.  The car has been repainted, including the gray plastic parts.  I will update this page again once I have the car back.
