goals This car is my daily driver so there are limits to how much I can do. It has to be a good street and track car making it great at neither, but I can live with that. This is my first project car. Enjoy!
News While waiting to find work (which I am finally at a decent job) I have sold a lot of stuff I actually wanted to put on the car. 5mm SPS hub spacers, black emblems, RPM 17.5mm rear sway bar, my SPS billet strut tower bar, the entire Kenwood stereo system and a few other things have been sold just to make ends meet. After one of the Konig Helium wheels was damaged I ended up traded the remaining 3 Konig Helium wheels for four 12 slot Saturn "sawtooth" wheels (the lightest OEM's I could find). After getting a lot of the long term bugs fixed and right when I was actually starting to like the car again I have had to sell stuff off it. Now that I am making some money I'm not sure if I will finish it or if I will part it and get a new car. The money from a part out is tempting seeing a lot of the SPS and SDA stuff is hard to find. I like the car when it's all together, it just seems hard to keep it that way.
