Default My Unicorn is back alive!!!

I have been in an all out battle for a while now. The classic fix one thing find the next thing wrong over and over. Locked up the torque tube on the car, then had syncro for 4th gear go bad. Had bad 02 sensors caused by coolant from blown head gasket. Then a fuel pump burn up, and finally a bad pilot bearing was the latest. All in the last 2-3 years.

However, all appears well now the car is back on the road and better than ever. Improvements were made along the way as things broke and wemt wrong.

The current setup prepping for ysi build.

A&A secondary drive 10 rib Si trim (OD crank, 3.33 blower pulley)
Blower cam
American Racing 1 7/8 headers
West Coast Cylinder Heads ported 317 heads
Alky Control meth injection
Mantic Twin disk Clutch
Rebuilt Tranny
Dte Brace
Corsa Sport Mufflers
Twin 340 LPH pumps intank 2nd pump on hobs switch
Mighty Mouse Catch Can
Sticky Mickeys on stock C6 19s


Now a couple pictures

Off the top of my head 305/35/19 I think. They only have 1 size I think. They are tall I had to modify my fender liners where holes were rubbed through them.
