UPDATE - The car is now RUNNING on 75 lb/hr Injectors, EDIS, and Megasquirt!!!

Video from drag racing at Rock Falls, WI.

Drag Racing

Here is a short video of me shifting 1/2 and 2/3. It was a short stretch of road so I couldn't get into the power band much, but you get the idea. Apologies, google compressed the video and the turbo is a little hard to hear now, but the BOV is more than obvious.

Thanks to someone's photoshopping skills, I now have a photo of what my car would look like lowered.

Here are a couple pictures from when I test-fit the rims on the car. I also now have tires on them. 275/40/17 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials in the back and 225/50/16 Fuzion ZRI's up front.

I just acquired this car from the 2nd owner, who only put 250 miles on it. There are 59K original miles on the car, and it looks like new, inside and out. Before summer, I will be flushing all the fluids, putting in Mobile 1 full synthetic oil, removing the AC belt, replacing some hoses, and some other general maintenance/upgrades. A full exhaust system is most likely in the near future as well. I will be updating this a lot, especially once summer hits and I am out and about in it, so check back often!

I have installed NOS foglights, replaced the sunroof weatherstripping and also removed the entire AC system from the firewall forward.

Plugs/wires and distributor cap/rotor have been completed. In the near future I will be doing exhaust and a front-mount intercooler.

Looks great! Found you on NATO. Make sure you update this after you get the latest installed(EDIS, MEGASQUIRT, INJECTORS). Also want to know about your tuning experience when you are done.
