defiantly, that will be the first thing done to the new sedan i get since i already have all the air ride parts minus the switches, which i can rebuild for cheep

it actually kind of works out for the better this way aside from the $1800 i had in the car that is lost because i had stupid liability

for starters my car had a blue interior (which i hated and was going to swap to black), it was a dx (which i hated because i wanted power windows) it had a lot of body work that still needed done (which i was not looking forward to), but if I'm able to find a lx with a black interior and a straight body that would solve all of those problems + our car seat was in the car and burnt up, but my brother was nice enough to buy us a new one today (which is a lot better than the one we had), and most of my parts for the car (air ride, exhaust, mpfi swap parts) weren't on the car so i didn't loose any of them, it set me back the month or so that it will take me to find and buy another sedan but 3 to 4 months from now i will have a better car that is further towards completion than what i would have at that time if this hadn't happened so its all good from my point of view

and yes I'm sure it was funny to see, there were people from the neighborhood i was in outside yelling at me to "get away from the car" but i ignored them and frantically pulled parts till the last possible second.... some things are just more important than the threat of burning to death ..... priorities... i have them

I did the same yesterday in my chalkboard beater while cleaning out the garage.. such a blast. No plates on the car made it a short trip.. but just gave me some winter motivation!


-The center exit exhaust on that red hatch looks funny.. probably because the normal opening is empty.

So I attempted to install my Skunk2 tb, which I believed would be a bolt-on affair, but it was not. The butterfly makes contact with the manifold and only allows about half throttle. I'm going to have to port the manifold.
