Well she is up and running. After I got the Exhaust done it was Quiet as a mouse ready to eat a snake 
This thing is so quiet the pipes are louder then what come out of the muffler! It seems to have a small traction issue. If you hit it at 50MPH the tires spin wildly for some reason?? Going to have to look into that.
BTW Mike I sent some goodies home to you...one of them will make your car move again
Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!

Hehehe It does feel good to have the pink car (teal is the new pink you know) running
After sitting for many years a few other things have gone wrong. First thing I noticed was the power seat switch no longer goes front to back only up and down. Next we found the High Beam switch is stuck on low beam. Lots of little things need taken care of. SHe also needs a visit to the local "Car Salon" up on English hill 
All this does not even cover the hours of tuning it is going to take to get the rather high CR to live on pump gas even with large injectors I still need to do some more Exhaust work. I got one of those Flapper door things to put on it and the rear muffler is hitting some where.As far as the "Other" blue car? I got one side of the motor done
all the Drive train is in it...just not all hooked up. to much other stuff to do and to many other cars to work on I will say this. If you come across a Teal car and JimBob is behind the wheel. THink twice about what is about to happen
The old combo in the [Pink] car sent at least one LS1 to the grave over in Kitsap county. And it wasn't just a wounding of the owners pride. The LS1 was wrecked. The other driver was definitely out of his depth.

At least I don't feel quite so bad, there are enough cars that sat this season in the "when I get time" lane. They might be running 10's by the time they get done but its...comforting...knowing mine isn't the only one gathering dust.
I swear, as soon as I stumbled across you all the car ran FINE every year without a problem. May have to re-evaluate that
