    well hopefully this will start getting some work done on it as the car is finally drove to my warehouse and not sitting in the parking lot collecting DIRT ( i know i let it sit long enough) lol today was the real first drive i have ever done it. other than a MAJOR pulse in front brakes for about 1/2 the drive, it did pretty dang good for a 100 buck BEATER car. i ordered the cv axle, valve cover gasket with grommets so ill pick em up 2morrow and start cleaning it up. gonna make it look and drive as nice as i can within budget. then sell it for around 2500 bucks. (the goal is BOOST for my scort after it sells)

          "There's a hierarchy of insanity in motor sports. Normal people think all racers are crazy. Folks who race sedans think people in open-wheel cars are nuts. People who race cars of any kind think motorcycle racers are absolutely off theirs meds. But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."

              I might eventually have a used set of Intrax springs and Tokiko gas struts for sale when I swap the coil-overs on. I'm a little worried. I heard (after I bought them of course) that the coil-overs give a really rough ride.

                          Wow, that's one clean car. Looks like a littel condensation on the inside of the rear window. That means you have some sort of small leak for water to get inside. I have that too. Wish I could track it down. If you find where your water's getting in, let me know!
