SWEEEEEET!

Looks like a match made in heaven.
the rims and brake kits compliment each other.
I like the black and red calipers which stands out on each car.
congrats.

I hope it's not NX, a turbo or s/c is the way to go. I guess I'll go to the NorCal forum and check it out.

Not NX. We just don't have an smilie for the others. There is nothing exciting in the clue, just a pasing note.

Default The time has come

For over a year since this project started there is one area of my car that has been neglected and for good reason. Now that the car has been running reliably, it's now time to void the warranty and start working on the engine. I love the way the car handles now, but every time I drive the hubby's GS I miss the power.

Well the time has come to do something about it !

This week the motor is being worked on and over the next 2 weeks you will see a significant transformation. I am so excited about this next set of mods.


Can you guess??

Congrats on the new mod/ I'm sure you will enjoy it. So, are you saying you'll think it'll be done in 2 more weeks?

It should be done in about 2 more days. I might go check out the progress at the shop tomorrow and see if RMMGS4 needs a hand.

And props to Edgy, I heard about what he did to help out RMMGS4 and INDGOGRL. Great guy!
