I was running a 93-94 style opti at the time and it split it about an inch on either side of the seal for the opti.

I had a 6speed and loved it for roll racing. Got tired of pulling 1.8-2.0 60's and getting my *** handed too me by inferior cars from a dig. The car was too inconsistent. I remember back when my car ran low 12's and was dead hooked on the street with my last auto setup, it was wonderful. I don't street race that often anymore though, got too much to lose these days.

They are Enkie wheels that we sanded down the lip to a machine aluminum look and then his dad painted the centers black and cleared the whole thing...They turned out pretty good!
Once he gets all the bugs worked out prob 100-150 should put him in the 10's either way...

Wtf!! Well, I have good news and bad news depends on which way you look at it. I was curising the car a few days ago and the it just lost a cylinder. So, I drove it back home just few miles thinking it was a fouled plug or burnt wire or something. I checked all of that stuff and it all checked out good expect for the plug in #8. It was fuel fowled. I changed it and the cylinder was still down. I pulled the valve cover off and found this.
So, I didn't feel comfortable not knowing if the piston or valve was damaged so I just pulled it apart and checked. Everything thing was good thankfully, that is the good news. So, I'm going to buy a new set of springs and put it all back together and see how she runs then. I can't get ahead for being behind.
