Default She is almost resurected...

Well I decided not to get rid of her, but instead turn it into more a weekend car, and not a dd anymore...now that i have the vw rabbit

I picked up shortblock which I just rebuilt, the thing looked like it was just rebuilt anyways, so big thumbs up to Marco at Autohaas in NJ. Also picked up my Holset HX40 which is the turbo you get when you buy a big turbo kit for you dodge cummins turbo diesel truck. I will also be upgrading to 8xx-9xx cc injectors, not sure yet, gotta ask the guy who will be tuning what he thinks. The turbo flows 70lb/min which is not bad... more than a gt35r.

Anyways enough with the bs, heres some pics
Rods still look good after 2000mi






Some degreasing action courtesy of the local car wash Oh and the new daily driver in the background!

^^That is a job I would need no training for, and I would certanly be good at...

Here's you k03/k04 [8D]


You guys will prolly be hearing more from me now that im going back to school, and getting ready for h20 int'l.

Not sure on 1/4mi times, i'd like to think I have the equipment for high to mid 11's although i've only been to the dragstrip twiceso I prolly have the equipment/skill matchup for low to mid 12's
