As you may have noticed, I came and grabbed my car last night. I was stuck with a 98 Galant with 200k on it and had to go out with a few girls....I mean, it's only a Fusion but it's a big upgrade from that lol. Oh and there's quite a bit of concrete on this truck, it's getting there...slowly.

I wish, the insurance check would make it easier to get rid of it haha.

*For anyone interested in muscle cars, there is a car show this weekend at American Muscle in Malvern with food/raffles I THINK/among other things. I'm currently detailing their show cars for it *

I got you all beat, I've been saving parts for my Talon for the last 6 years and even with plans of getting most of it finished this summer other then a compression test i haven't even started. This is what happens when you have 2-3 projects going at once. Only thing that gets me mad is the thought of the money getting put into the Evo instead and how much more worth it it is. If i didn't own my talon for so long and with plans to never get rid of it i wouldn't even bother but it's been a long time coming. To bad i still need about $1500 more in parts (hardware, gaskets, clutch, etc) to finish it.

It was one of the questions that was asked to Lewis Hamilton on the Formula 1 website, and I thought it was pretty cool. His reply was, "when the front wheel turns so sharply, the rear breaks loose."

I think I got your beat.. MY rx7 has been sleeping and getting motor swaps for 10 years now and still not driving.. At this point I am thinking 4g63 swap. Right now it is swapped with series 5 turbo II motor and trans with a haltech E6K, blown oil seals




It's a 1985 GSL-SE with only 103,000
