Been dailying it still had speedometer quit working checked sensor witing etc then suddenly working again a few days later think trabsmission is well on its way to blowing up first gear was slipping pretty bad then started working sametime speedometer did so thinking something internal is screwed otherwise working on small things to make car reliable daily which until it gets warm and i can swap the trans out ill continue to drive it and beat it lie it owes me money if it breaks itll sit till it gets warm but ran fine took the abuse today on the way to work. Searching for a front lower gfx as well as a hawks 5in spoiler so i can have everything together when spring rolls around to paint it thats about all for now

Got a lot done this weekend along with the wheels/tires trunion upgrade done, rear shocks, wot problem fixed, fixed steering column, upped the nitrous shot, ordered a bottle heater, bought an astro steering shaft to get rid of the steering play I have its so nice driving the car now before it rode horrible bounced around all the time harsh suspension noises because of the struts in the front next is paint then getting the interior sealed up wind/exhaust/aftermarket rod end noise is ridiculous
