Since i got this car last year, i have held off the urge to swap something into it. Everyone else had Sr's and i had my shitty sohc KA that made a whopping 94 horse up here at 5,000 feet above sea level. Instead of swapping, I spent the last year concentrating on just driving. Learning the car, technique, lines, and learning to drift.
as she sat for the last year:
Season is over (at least in NM), and i think i am ready to step up to power. Time to build. Started in november of 08.

for some reason, the rad. support was bondo'd together, and exploded when we tried to straighten her out.
