woke up early and went to some backroads in the outskirts of the city. Practiced launching the car, theres way too much wheel spin from a dead stop.

Today, my 2000 TA is in the shop. Getting a new window motor, oil change, and tune up. Tomorrow it is getting plugs and wires, and EBC rotors, and the kevlar pads. And come wed morning will be starting to install full suspension on it. And hoping my 19's come in by Fri for the weekend.. Just bought it bone stock about a month and a half ago, already have longtube, full exaust, intake, tb, underdrive pullies, and a tune.

Sam - That '69 is awesome!

Back on topic:
Installed Koni's 4/4s last weekend and I have been too busy at work to get it aligned. So this weekend, alignment and adjusting the Koni's to my liking!

Sam, righteous bird man, loving old school with the modern ls based power and fresh interior. Any chance your doing HR powetour this year since its so close to you? (Ends in Mobile, Al)

On to my car, I removed those tired old "guide" headlights circa 1999 and added some modern alternatives!

Thank you, 99'CajunFirehawk157. I don't think I can make the power tour this year, I have some scheduling problems this year, but it is on my list of must do's.
