newest update for the truck! we found our problem that made us lean, our EMS wasn't getting a signal from the mass airflow sensor, so it couldn't read crap to give us a mixture. we also got a much better fuel pump, so fuel will never be a problem again. the big turbo is next on the list as we prepare for Pinks All Out and try to make it consistent. Currently the truck is in Tucson with my dad so he can get it tuned and be able to test it all year while i am in college. I MISS IT! dont forget to tune in for the tucson pinks all out, we will be racing the week before thanksgiving and i have no idea when it will air, but i sure hope i win or even get to run more than once! thanks for looking at my page and God bless!
As for the MR2 it is running reliably now and a rocket to drive. However we are facing difficulties getting it out of limp-home mode. As soon as that is finishedi am taking it down to missourri with me. Oh and also i removed the R&S stickers from it since we shut the business down. I like it better just black.

This is my favorite view of the truck, i think it looks so mean
The ladder bar suspension, part of the cage, the tubs etc
The MSD DIS4, safc, and the ice water coolant tank for the intercooler
The heart and soul of the truck, hopefully it will be purged of imperfections soon! you can see the water2air sorry the spark plug cover is off, you can tell we are working on it, check the HKS BOV!
