Bullitts have to go...
About this Current Vehicle:
I bought this car in August 2006. It came with the cam and rockers, I have done the stuff in parenthesis. I have also had to do some unexpected repairs not mentioned by the previous owner. I replaced some parts with better/more efficient parts as well, including the Wizair CAI and the bone stock "P&P'd blower" with a TripleEdgePerformance piece (VERY nice). My first time to the track was horrible, hopefully I'll be going to a better track this summer, maybe Norwalk :-D
Wideband is installed, it's all tuned for WOT :-D
Also I'm about to get new injectors, Lucas 42.5#ers are not good for a DD, mileage blows! Scratch that...they may work after all, time with the flow rate table will tell...

Where did it go?
Since my last entry disappeared...I got the crossover fixed, there were a bunch of leaks in it. I also got my stainless brake lines on and rear caliper replaced, it kept locking up and turned bright red...so I probably need to at least turn that rotor or possibly get a new one. On the up side I might not have to get new injectors since I was told that modifying the flow rate table more should get my mileage back up to where I want it, lets hope so! 20 mpg with mostly highway driving is not cutting it!
On a side note, I have to get rid of the Bullitts. I had some rust fixed in the rear fenders in November, but since the wheels stick out so much rocks and things already took the paint off the inside and it is rusting again! Time to look for some chrome torque stars...

2 Small Leaks
Well, I found out I have a small coolant leak and an exhaust leak. My mechanic could not find/fix either one. We are pretty sure the exhaust leak is in the crossover, so I'm going to have to start looking for a new one. The coolant leak is a mystery however, although it may be the thermostat. The ticking from the exhaust really sucks when you commute!
