nice, what's your turbo set-up? i like where you put your A/F guage at, but i would have replaced the clock with one of those guages though...oh well
edit: damn, '94 with only 41,xxx miles???

booyah! i wanna ride...come down to the nasti this weekend and show me up in that bitch. i want turbo...**** RINGS (or valve stem seats...not sure which one but one of the two aint lettin me boost)
thanks for the replies guys. i would have done the guage in the clock location but i wanted to get it all in asap...i didnt have my car for 3 months due to hail damage getting repaired along with a blown tranny so this was about how much i could take of down time. i will be changing to the greddy boost gauge...that or hks soon so that it reads more accurately thats when ill put it in the clock location. well have vids up soon...i hope pending on when i get time to change my axle and ball joints.
edit: and you are correct...only the origional 41k on the whole car/motor.

runs pretty damn well actually. i bog at high rpm but im assuming thats due to the gapping of my plugs and some fuel pressure issues. im going to mess with it tomorrow then on friday install some new axles and ball joints. up until it bogs its great...damn thing pulls very nice and i havent even hit redline yet!
