fi ain't no future it's the present...

air density shmensity, i'm not worried about splitting those hairs. not a consummate engine builder and not rolling in dough.

car started off as a sohc WEAK carbureted car. it was cheaper & easier to stay carbed: no need to source ALL the gts wiring and ecu, cheaper to tune and is just as much of an art form to tune as is an efi system. also, i wouldn't knock carbed 4AGE's since the N2s are putting out well over 200hp to the wheels in that format...but i don't plan on proving what's been already proven.

besides, you've seen the car do just fine in gymkhana so why you hasslin' me brotha?!

here's some footage of the engine running:

no need to apologize alex. as long as i'm satisfied with mine, that's okay by me. the car isn't intended to win a poplularity contest. if it does, just an added bonus.

i replaced those several months ago with spring loaded clips.

bumper goes on and comes off faster than it took me to type up this sentence.

awesome pics taken by bad karma from houston240sx.com:

the pics don't convey the truth about that day for me. great pics none-the-less.
