Got a phone call, the car started!!!! Then the bad news, put it in gear and it dies (possible problem with the converter) and a coolant leak out of the front cover.
When will it ever end......

took off my "boat anchor" starter and replaced it with a mini starter, then replaced the passenger side header bolts....#4 cylinder, lower bolt was a biyatch... the primary off my ATR headers was in the way and could barely fit a wrench on it....

My car finally runs,
The build I have means I will most likely need a cage soon myself. To bad I am on the west coast and have no connections for fabricators out this way.

I am looking forward to that.
But with one track at $25 a night and the other at $35 a night it can get expensive to keep getting kicked out.

Man, that's a lot.
$15 here. One track is IHRA and never techs. I've been 11.20s there all night and they never said a word about not having a bar. Hell, I wasn't even wearing a fire jacket. ![]()

Both here are NHRA so they tech every time, even with a tech card. I have a helmet (Snell 2005) and a fire jacket, just missing the bar.

I don't think I'll ever put a bar in one of my cars.
![]() Today I put the gas tank back in (what a PITA that was with a stock location muffler), bolted the exhaust up to the new test pipe/downpipe and tied up a bunch of little crap. Car should be driveable once I bleed the brakes. Still need to get the title crap taken care of and plates though, so I'll probably drive it on Saturday. Hopefully my friend has some time that day so I can dyno it.

Finished up the PL install and upgraded the ScanMaster as well. Damn that 2.2 is fast! Works good.

Swapped my stock wheels for weld pro stars with 295/50 out back and 235's up front. Rubbing alittle on pot holes and dips in the road but I like the look.
