or blood and cemen...
i can get more for my kidneys on the black market alot faster, giving blood sucks and i think you only get like $20 bucks and cemen...the world wouldn't know what to do with my children
uc - Looks awesome, that's got me motivated to work on mine some more
Hood still needs a little adjusting, but I haven't felt like taking my fenders off again to do a good adjustment/fitting...
It was looking pretty rough @ the end of winter... It's come a long way and still has more to go. Gotta do a little bit more paint & bodywork clean up and it should be doin good. Pretty impressed with the wetsanding & clean up I've done thus far; didn't know how it would turn out when I did it, as I've never done much body work of any kind b4. O ya, and I have a sheet of satin black vinyl to put on my roof soon, too.

I've got my fogs out right now and will finish fitting 3000k HIDs into them this weekend. Then, back in they go. I actually like our fogs... And once I get those done, having the 5000k lo's & 3000k fogs will be sweet! Should be some pretty solid light output.

Random question:
Does anyone know if streetporting is allowed in either the ST or SP solo classes in SCCA? I've read the rulebook many times and they only mentioned bridge/peripheral porting in the prepared classes. I got my helmet in yesterday for the Mid-Ohio event next weekend and I'm thinking I might want to get more into racing. If I keep with my current bridgeporting, etc. plans I'll most certainly end up in SM.
Competitive SCCA class vs power/fun/uniqueness, hmm...

hmmm..... well let me ask you this....
would you rather have a car you can enjoy driving everywhere and not be the fastest in a class or spec it out to be fast in a certain class, but lose some of the fun driving on some sunny sunday afternoon??
does that make sense?

Makes sense, but in my case sticking to a competitive SCCA class would have better driveability, LOL (bridgeport vs streetport). Here's my current logic:
If I keep my current plan (bridgeport 4-port motor, ITB's, Haltech ECU, etc.) I'd end up in SM. It'd still be fun, but I fear after not being competitive for I while I'd get bored, but I suppose there's always NASA HPDE events ($$$)...
If I keep the current engine (6-port) and scale down to a streetport (I don't know if this is allowed) I might be able to fit into CSP with everything else I want to do (trans, ECU, etc.). I'd be more competitive at autox (still get beat readily) but the setup isn't as "fun" or "original".
Lastly I can skip the porting and all the transmission work, add a bolt-on exhaust, intake, etc. and stick with STR (for however long that class lasts). I could probably get pretty competitive, but that's very mildly modified all things considered. There's still HPDA events ($$$)
I'm just getting antsy with only doing suspension/brake work. My next step is transmission, but as I wrote above, that could determine which class I end up in.
