[avarela86]

Tekkie is your car done yet?

 

[tekkie]

for the most part yeah, I have some suspension stuff to install, a new IC, and to install the AEM but thats basically it

some day when I have time I may actually even do it lol

 

[avarela86]

HAH, so the engine is still out of the car?? I just got my internals in the garage and will be picking up a block later this week. Still looking for an engine stand though.

 

[tekkie]

the engine has been back in since last summer, the car is one piece and ready to drive... minus the snow

Yes I'm still here. I think I blew my engine last time out, June '07 have parked the car since then. 3rd gear is none to happy again as well. You get to a point where you are just tired of another bill, you know? Still love the car though, not parting it out.

[ForceFed]

Well there he is!

 

[LinuxRacr]

Gonna build it stronger Wes?

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

yeah man i know what you are saying but once you get past fixing it and getting back in the drivers seat all that heart ache about the bill goes away and you are glad you fixed it!

 

[TurbomanProtege]

This is one badass protege I'm loving it. is there any dyno numbers?

 

[Wesman II]

No I'm tired of the bills Linux. Dyno numbers stink right now, its around 200hp when its running right. but it weighs 2500lbs.

Hey Wes,
I still remember that ride you gave me on the back roads around VIR a few years ago. I hope you get your car sorted out and can make it back down here sometime. Grand East in June, ya know .
