Thanks guys.

I got some rust coming back already from the half ass paint job I paid for... salt here on the roads is RIDICULOUS.

One of my buddies owns his own body shop, has his own booth etc... would love to get it resprayed (professionally) this time... damn I need more $ for all these plans lol.

Haven't been able to do hard pulls in the low gears due to clutch slipping issues, but I've pulled pretty hard from 3rd a few times and it's amazing. I love it, lol. I'm trying to not be hard on it right now since it's winter also.

Nice build man! You sure did a lot to get it to where it is today. When you repaint, are your going to keep it the same color?

 

[TigBitties]

i need me some spring cleaning

 

[XpL0d3r]

Gay...

And repaint will be same color, I actually really like the color. Just not a fan of it now - resprayed cheaply - orange people out the wazoo, and the rust is back. You get what you pay for

Little update

Stage 2 Competition clutch

And while we were at it.... brand new Avid Race Mounts in "sleeper black"
I don't have pictures of the mounts in the car yet, but here's a comparison from the old mount to new..

And faillllll... #14:

Was driving a friends Subaru Forester on the way to a formal dinner.. 64 in a 35 because we were running late. Woman cop. She says "This car is registered to a 23 year old female from NH, you have a MA license, and you're in western NY".. yeah, and? She's the passenger, I'm from MA and I go to school in NY - get off my D woman!

She let me off with "failure to obey traffic device" - meh. lol.

... we were still late

 

[Szady]

Was she at least good looking?

 

[XpL0d3r]

Was she at least good looking?

She was average. I wouldn't say "good", but definitely not bad - lol.

Luckly, I had 4 other people in the car - and we were all wearing formal clothes for the dinner, so I kind of had an excuse....
