*UPDATE* 1/10/04 Due to people being stoooooopid and not knowing how to drive, (Like slamming on your brakes to make a lane change?) my Xr4 is goint through a cosmetically "ugly stage". Owell, Cosworth makover, here I come!

Have autometer gauges now, shortened my sparco shifter up a bit, kirban AFPR, Bosch Bypass valve, boost sitting around 19 psi right now, horizontally mounted Tbird intercooler, soon to rig up a 944 IC... Also getting adjustable cam sprocket very soon along with a high flow 255 fuel pump.
