Had a few set backs. I had it running on my buddy's computer so now I had mine tuned specifically for mine but had it tuned for a 3 bar MAP. So now I need to get a new MAP, then went to dial in my front suspension only to find out my qa1 struts are jacked up so that's gonna put me back a few hundred bucks. Still need to order a driveshaft and ARB. Now I'm on 10+ hr days so that puts me back. Just all fucked up right now, lol.

Is this thing gonna be on the streets before the weather heads south?

There's action on the streets again over here by me every weekend now. Hopefully they can keep it going the rest of the year so I can get some races in.

When you get the car road worthy and want to get down on the street for small money/***** or whatever lmk and I will point you in the right direction.

Bumping this for almost driving time. Got my mwc arb in today and bolted in. Need to weld on the tabs and that's finished. My aluminum driveshaft from PST should be here Friday then some odds-n-ends and I can see what it does!

Looks promising....thought this car would for sure be done last season. Surely it will be out and about this summer from the sounds of it.
