i know how you feel, i cant affored a boost controller

lookin good so far, who is doing your cage? getting that **** off the floor sucks....i wonder how effective it would be to just light the floor on fire...uhh controlled fire haha

ive been kicking *** on my car. i just need my motor back, which things are progressing on really well...and my goodies from full race. then rewire the engine bay, finish my fuel crapola, fab my DP and exhaust and finish my IC piping. we will see how it goes. im on a mission haha

bret what turbo are you running this year?

i found this kickass air chizzle hammer thingy jammer....it rules for it. go figure i found that thing after i had already spent what felt like 100 hours on it old school style.

last time i was on the snap on truck they had this air powered bitch slap looking tool thing that looked perfect for this stuff. i cant get on the damn snap on truck wtih out spending a zillion dollars. my snap on guy rules though. our old snap on driver was a *****

We used dry ice. Just put a couple of sheets on the floor, and get a rubber mallet and it'll crack very easy. Takes 30 min to get everything off..

Looks good, glad I am not the only one that still has a million things to do before the first race.

I used dry ice and it worked like a charm to get that crap up.

should be able to make some good power on that turbo.

hmm cars for cheap.... nothing that doesnt need work. i have a 240sx with no motor in it........and a mazda mx6, thats actually not half bad. perfect leather interior in it. needs breaks and it over heats, i havnt had the time to check it out and see whats wrong with it.

i have a 94 i think civic EX with power everything that runs perfect. brand new trans in it. only problems with that is the gas gauge doesnt work i dont think......the hood, 1 fender, and rear bumper are flat black and the rest of the car is gloss black. i cant let that one go quiet that cheap though
