Yeah I know what ya mean! First gear was alright, second gear felt like a brick wall, but it started to come on in third.

Is there anyway you can get some more pictures of your car like from all angles and such or do you have it put away for the winter?

No I can take some more pictures. I have a few more I can post now. If it clears up later I'll roll it out and snap some more, rain sucks.

Heres a couple more though.











And this picture makes me realize how much I like it lowered, and how much I NEED new headlights!

If I can't drive it, I might as well keep it looking pretty!

Thanks man. Off hand I am not sure what it weighs. I can't imagine it will be much though. The only thing holding it back will be the stock K.

Is that switch legal? Someone told me that you have to get the "push/pull" type. I hope that kind is legal, I like the looks of them a lot better.

It should be unless rules have changed. Its what my dad and I have always ran in cars in the past, and never had any issues.
