Guess whos off the jack stands and driving to work tonight!?!?!?!?!?!?!?








THATS RIGHT! DRMRMAN!!!!!!! TRANS INSTALLED EVERYTHING WORKS!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I AM SOOOOO PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone who made this car what it is now!

MSD for the igition parts...

Meizer for the E water pump...

Carolina clutches for their Alum, flywheel pressure plate and clutch set up! (Speedy service! Would recommend them to anyone.)

And last but not least Bill the "ZF doc" for his long hours with me on the phone helping me and guiding me through this insane task!

Have to put some more miles on her drain the rest of the old fuel. Fill her up and get her to the track! See what she can do!

(Waiting on wheels and tires! New pics of the new stance and brake project 2.0 coming soon)

Congratulations on getting the car off the jack stands! It's about time! We were worried about you, coming in late at night with grease all over ya, smelling like motor oil and dirt under your fingernails!

What better feeling?

Thanks guys! I took her for a spin last night with my girlfriend and it was a BLAST! 1st and 2nd gear are a joke with street tires haha! I used to have dragradials on it but I have since sold them and are now rocking the stock tires! By around 2500 rpm in first the car is swinging side ways and I have to fight to keep it straight!

MAN DO I MISS THIS CAR!

I will keep everyone posted on the new rims in a couple short weeks and brake project 2.0 in the fall/winter
