It's at the local pharmacy. I'm going to be a pharmacy tech. It's going to pay a lot more plus it is in the medical field which is what I am going to school for. Looks like there are a lot of drag cars in the midwest section. Seems like everyone posting is building up a drag car.

His is a bug eye with a boost controller and an exhaust. We're guessing it's about 280 or so all wheel horsepower. My car being stock is probably about 290 or 300 or so to the ground. The all wheel drive would get me off the line, but I am thinking all the torque I have would reel him back in. I'm not concerned about it though. This guy is my best friend he may as well be my brother so it doesn't matter whose car is faster lol. It'll be fun to have someone to cruise with.

^^^ sounds like a nice car coming together. Speaking of the wrx, we were replacing the wheel bearing on it and were almost done except we didn't have a 32mm to take off the axle nut. Fail.

My car is close. I can't wait to actually drive it this year. I think I might have drove it 3 months an hour or two a week last year. Doing some small stuff to make it look better for the upcoming year.

The TA is getting a new catted Y pipe with a flowmaster merge fabricated next week. Then im going to remove door emblems, do a full paint correction detail, new tint, and, depending on the tax check, koni yellows with strano springs and supporting suspension parts to get her back in alignment (needed to do something to make use of that lifetime alignment package ).
