This was in 2001 at the Year One Bristol Bash autocross event. Not the fastest way around the track but looks cool!

Winter Project: i've have one of the new NOS NOSzle nitrous kits for the past two years, and im hopefuly gonna get it on. a cam is also in the near future.

WOW super clean, nice mods and interior. Your car is awesome man, with nitrous, sweeeet. Is that the Brey Krause harness bar? 5 stars! How long have you had the Busch headers? Do you like them? later

did you get the car dyno tested and if so what is the hp not running the nitrous. I am trying to decide whether or not to attempt to increase my N/A engine performance and a lot of the upgrades you listed I am looking into. So my question is what type of hp gains did yu get from the bore/head port? Also could you upload a video of exhaust cause i'd love to hear how she sounds.

very impressive 944. love what you've done with the exterior. i know that i must be the one millionth person that has asked you this question, but where did you get you 'better bodies' side skirts from? i've searched the net and found nothing.

Dont meen to be rude... but why would you gut the interior just to add a sterio system to it...eh kids these days.
Ps. nOs is by far the worst streetcar mod you can do...its the least cost efficent and most demanding on a vehicle..dont be cheap and upgrade the car in other ways..
