Do what Mark should have done years ago and put a few twists in the rear collars to bring the back end up 1/2" :)

suspension set up in on the list of near term future actions. It's not as fast as my '00 GTS as it seems to always be going up hill.

the gaps are worse than in the picture. I didn't spend alot of time on them

Stripes....I'm thinking of putting on Gray stripes as my last two were gray with silver stripes. I also debate painting it or just letting it go as it's gonna see the track a fair amount anyway. I won't be so overly parinoid on chips then.

Looks great!

So what's she getting for mods?

Good question. It's got BB headers, lighter flywheel. First I'll add some stuff for safety and reliability. I have to call JonB as he bought Dave's old business. I want an oil pan baffle, a bias valve and the rear brackets. I have to decide cage or roll bar when I put in the race seats. Next wil be shocks and suspension set up along with some aero. I have an email out to Erik M. Then I may do some head work and a cam. Having had a Gen 4, the best thing about those is the engine.....hummmm.....I think to myself...how hard could that be.......putting a gen 4 engine / transmission into a gen 2......naw...that's too much work..........

oh the joys of 1.5Gs and the sound of 6500 rpm......

Nothing like what I'll put them through, except for the crashing part ;)

A running car? I have almost forgotten what those are like!

I need to stop taking everything apart.
