Finally warm enough to work on the car!!! The weather finally got warm enough to motivate me to work on the car!! So
I put in a New PST 3.5" Alum DS, UMI drag bar, and some hotchkis 1" lowering springs. Next up is slap on the DSL, new calipers, new Race stars, 28x11.5 QTPs, and some LCA relocation brackets. After that the N2o goes in and more weight comes out. Oh and I need a cage too.

lol. looks good. i started mine up for the first time in 4 months today. i drove it out of the garage, let it idle in the driveway for 10 mins and then moved it over to the gravel turn around in my sig. i found a quarter sized spot of oil under where the car was idling in the driveway and a dime sized spot pretty close to it. not sure what those are from. i'm hoping they are leftover oil that was sitting somewhere on the bottom of the car from when i think it was leaking from a loose valve cover last fall. i felt the intake, oil sender unit and valve cover and none seemed wet.
It hasnt been quite nice enough to work on mine yet. Im hoping to have the new engine back within a week or two. I still have to finish the engine bay up. Cars lookin good as usual! Wheres the exhaust?! going back to the B&B?

I sold the B&B.
I took it off for more room under the car to work and to swap the DS. But Im not sure if its going back on. Its way to loud for the street and doesnt like DSLs. So my plan is to buy a Mufflex or similar set up. Bring both to the track and see if theres any gains.

I've been looking for a 4" Mufflex, myself, but they're hard to find. Might be easier to just make your own.
That would be a good test, though. I'm gettin' cabin fever, this cold/wet weather, has got to go!

I thought about that...they wanted about $550, for the kit I was interested in..but then again...its new, mint condition.
