well the lovely owner before me not only trashed the outside of the car, but guess what! he successfully did the same to the motor... hows 30lbs sound on a stock tune?

i found a new longblock in florida that im getting hopefully, then im going to part mine out with the parts that are still good to try to get my money back..

as for the cams my girlfriend found some cosworth 272s on craigslist brand new for $290, so either those or im going to order some brian crower 272s from MAP.

Hey guys whats up, i got off school a day early for my spring break so i had a free day to work on the car!

Heres what i got done:
- Painted wheels black with plasti dip (will have pictures up this afternoon!)
- Fixed my cracked lip (drifting a corner too fast and spun out and bumped a snow bank, luckily the snow was mostly powder and it just cracked the lip, but i fastened it up and you hardly tell its cracked)
-Lowered rear end alittle bit, not sure if i went far enough but ill have to put the wheels back on and see
- Repainted my hood vent because some of the paint had flaked off and looked retarded half shiny chrome half black

I'm glad to see you saved that evo instead of passing that headache onto someone else! Good for you!
