Can't wait to check her out. I hope that the garage picture doesn't mean it's not running.

I have to put motor mounts in it this weekend and replace the downpipe (cracked from bad mounts) I need to find a shop that will delete the cat though and I have vacuum leak to track down. Car has under 158k miles. The one bummer is the mis-matched drivers doors (prior accident). But hey I got her cheap. Specs 225hp 258 ft.-lbs. at 1950 rpm. 0-60 6.7 sec new. And i believe it. This car is a wolf in sheeps clothing a great sleeper. And the engine is bullet proof. There are guys I have been talking too that are getting in excess of 400 hp on stock blocks! Best of all I got 500 miles... Yes you read it right 500 miles on one tank of gas driving it back from Richmond Va avg highway speed of 78mph... Enuff said.

Ok well got some stuff done finally. Replaced the front motor mount it was destroyed!!. Its basically a beefier version of the A2 front hydraulic type. The top had ruptured and separated from the mount. Wow the car feels a lot better on the road. Changed the APC which controls boost, I had been noticing inconsistent boost levels...like the gauge would be fluttering. Not anymore spools up faster and holds boost with no drop off. NICE very happy nite for me!! I Rule LOL
