everything thats on the car now ive done myself, well with the help of friends also. we lowered it, put on the exhaust, and put in the nitrous system (including the purge valve and bottle heater). that stuff was all pretty simple. i just toasted my stock clutch though and have a new one coming in early next week and we are going to attempt that. hopefully we dont fuck it up too bad.

I remember looking for goat's sparkplugs and I couldn't see them things anywhere.

oh yeah just to stay on topic...i do only the minor work due to lack of a garage and equipment. Major work is done by Holland Road Auto Tech

i try to do as much as i possibly can. i did my entire engine swap except for the wiring. I hate woring. i had HASport do that . i know how bad i am at wires so i didnt run the risk of screwing up. i had never done ANY work on a car before this so i took it slow and careful. with my turbo i tried to do as much as i could figure out with no experience, but a lot of the stuff i had never dealt with before. i had friends help me with that...anything i didnt know how to do i made sure i watched them when they did it...and now that i learned from them i have done all of those things to my brother's car out here. i just try to keep learning new stuff. I research a lot before i touch anything so that helps me out a lot.

Why? Because of how the chasis/dash is built around the motor.

Glad to see you gained some maturity over the past few weeks of not annoying Drag members.
I said up to 98 because the latest F bod I worked on was a 98 T/A, which I did a header/catback swap and new plugs. but we did everything from underneath.

Oh and btw kiss my ass I have HAD more maturity than you will ever GAIN

the only thing you manage to prove is that you have 2,655 reasons why you don't have a life.
