Sweetness.......I hope to have all the stuff for my Frankenstien S4 turbo together soon. If you talk to Zac, ask him to hit me up. This fuel injection stuff scares me! Good luck guys! Ain't nothing quite like a boosted 12A........

an update... my floats were flooded..too much fuel now the car sis running great!!! but i have come to find new problems... so now that i can go fast hahah my car starts to shake at 70mph and about 80mph it shakes so bad that it is almost scary... i also have some rattling from somewhere, i have to find that... oh and the car pulls to the right a good bit... so an alignment may be the cure all to a few of those probs..... also i took the rear skirts off the car... $25 + shipping if anyone wants them... still working on the damn sideskirts.... they are riveted on there so its a bit of a pain!

new paint and interior

well i painted the area that the targa was covering as well as where the rear skirts were..and the trim... and under the glass roof... here is a pic of inside as well... pay no attention to the white wire.. that is now hidden thats from having to hard wire my fuel pump due to my stupid alarm system..

Dude! Leave the sides on there! I always like the looks of the sides on a first gen. Think you'll have her driveable enough to bring out to the next meet?
