About this Current Vehicle:

Bought this car from a friend of the family who owns a shop. It was a trade in on a truck they had for sale. It was the spring of my Junior year in High school.

Heading into the spring of 08 the car is going under the knife and receiving heads/intake/cam along with some other goodies to help it reach my goal of 11secv6. Oh yea and the project name hints at what is under the hood.

End is near

The car is ready for the engine swap as the rear seat delete is finished (see pics) and everything in the engine bay is cleaned up and waiting. The abbott built engine is finished and is getting shipped out this week so I can begin on it next week hopefully.

I also put my downpayment on some FFF longtube headers through a group purchase. These are the first batch of them so I will have to wait 12 weeks for them all to get made. But they will be worth it in the end.

Did some work

Did some work on the car this weekend. I cleaned up the engine bay a bit by doing the !hood latch mod. This consists of hiding it in the fender instead of in the engine bay. I then installed my TA performance rear cover and UMI PHR rod. Also got the PLX wideband installed as well.

Found some carpet from stockinteriors.com and should have the rear seat delete finished in a week or so

Bought a Stall

Picked up a PI Vigilante torque converter today. Should make for some nice 60ft times. WOOT!
