yes..t'was a sad day....i have seen it coming for a while.....


so the house is a little more important to me right now, but after i deal some things out, i should be looking to get my little granny mobile sometime....always been my dream car. guess ya gotta wait for the good things, eh?

as for my car, i am installing a set of RA spec gears in the current tranny, installing a ported stock turbo, and reinstalling most of the parts.

basically will be a modded stage 2, about 265hp...a long way from where she was, but, the best thing right now to be a combination of reliable for the next person, and decent power.

IF i was to keep her in the power output i had her in, i would have had over 5k in the driveline to take the power....not to mention the need for me to go full built engine to take the power i was going to try to squeeze out of her. i have enough WRX's and SRT4's now that visit me for tuning and custom stuff to not need to experiment on my car anymore....


i still have a few project cars to work with to keep me occupied till i figure out what GN i am gonna get, so its all good. damn adult responsibilities!!!

Damn, that sucks, but ya gotta do what you gotta do, and if a GN is in the near future it isnt such a huge loss, just think about it as doubling the displacement .
