Default got my first drag car

well about to open a performance car shop next month, so i figured a race car would be a good way to help promote, got my buddies old turbo'd crx drag car, minus the motor. only had to pay $4k for it and i have a fully built k24/k20 with ITB's sitting in the bedroom ready for it..this thread will take awhile to update as the focus is on getting the shop open and everything needed for it. heres 2 pics i took with my phone tho lol
