well, not much to report here except that i've been driving a lot still.

took it to boston to go see xxrockyhorrorsxx and pick up dub parts, good times.

they sent me 83mm pistons, that's ok, the block i got didn't need a lot taken off to be true again.

installed a rear tie bar, i don't know, it looks cool, that's about it. i think it makes the ass end a little tighter, but mainly the big thing is that it looks cool and i can feed my harnesses through there.

splurged a bit and bought the last set of 15x8 snowflake reps in 5x100. got some spacers and bolts, we're good to go once my tires show up. i searched far and wide, and FINALLY found a tire in 225/50/15 that i liked (yokohama es100).

why wouldn't i stretch those you ask? well, 350whp is not gonna do well with stretch, i want to put the power down, not make smokeshows.

motor is together, but not running well on 9:1 cr and no turbo installed (need a better intake manifold without cracks).

some may have noticed i was planning on going na...well, i tripped, slipped, and fell into a gt30r.

oh well, some new-ish pics from my old phone...
