    Default no turning back.

    Today i sent in the 100 dollars and registered my car in the standing mile (mile-marker-1) race down in south Florida. i will drive down april 9th and spend the weekend there with a friend of mine. then in the wee hours of the morning on saturday the 10th of april i will check in. hopefully i will break 150 or 160 mph. then, next year ( hopefully ) i will have installed a role cage, chute, remote battery cutoff, and some form of fire suppression and seats and suit and harness and whatever. i will then make my way to Bonneville and try to break 200 mph and my life as i know it, will be complete. seriously, some people dream of drifting championships or rally racing or even road racing or drag racing. i want to go top speed. full tilt in my car that i delivered bbq in.

    These items are ready to be slapped on the car
    new tires
    new tranny. if anyone can help, they get my old t2 tranny for free. i need help swapping it out ASAP!!
    my radiator
    brake rotors
    and shocks and springs and shit.

    i still need

    pads and appropriate spacers,

    That sounds like fun! What else is done to your car? Still on stock ports?

    You should post up some pictures! I want to see this thing.

    what else done to it?
    i now have a 400cc pre turbo water injection
    haltech e6x
    550cc primary 1600cc seccondary
    walbro fuel pump
    complete ss and an fitting fuel lines from the fuel filter forward and running in a parallel setup.
    bnr stage 1 on an s5 turbo ( i didnt feel like telling them ) with a stock top mount intercooker.
    on a stock port with s4na rotors. i wanted higher compression to make good power, but i also added water injection for safety. the "just in case" factor is there, and with anything in a rotary, you have to keep your eye on shit. plus, water injection keeps your intake ports spotless.


    its just a red fc with fd rims. nothing to _see_ really. plus im not a camera whore. i might bring my cam places, but ill forget to take pics.

    before the fd rims

    well... pulled the car out of the garage under its own power. tranny feels nice and solid and clean as can be. the rims with new tires have been put on, and the exhaust all buttoned up, clutch bled and breaks bled.

    only thing thats left is for the spacers to arrive and put on the damn radiator. cars sits low now. i like it.
