TO THOSE ASKING ABOUT THE SWAP: The swap is not hard if you have some car experience and the right tools. My uncle did the wiring but you can have it done if you can't figure it out yourself. Check out www.heavythrottle.com and look at the FAQ. Just about every question is answered there. More questions? Checkout Zilvia.net and Freshalloy.com Search those forums and all your questions will be answered.

That white S14 kouki had a S14 SR and was running 13.8's. He was a pretty cool guy.

Went driving on the Natchez Trace parkway. Figured I'd take some decent pictures before I sell meshies.

Finally the car is running again and running strong. It started spitting out white smoke and a strong gas smell. I couldn't get the injectors out of the rail to replace o-rings since that was a possible culprit so I just sent the whole thing off to Deatschwerks to be serviced. Came back in about a week and now everything is back to normal. Idle seems even smoother than before. Lots of stuff coming up soon!!

Lots of little problems lately. Altenator had to be rebuilt a few months ago, various exhaust leaks and most recently my thermostat went out and water pump started leaking. Good thing I have a daily dirver now.

Finally got my Blitz Realize TT exhaust. Waited over 3 months for it to come in because it was on backorder. At the same time I picked up a Catco cat and a Greddy turbo extension. The tip is freakin' huge! and so is the muffler canister..but it is so quiet. The engine is almost louder than the exhaust :)
