would that cause it to follow the shape of the road a ton? I thought maybe it was just because it had power steering, but I guess the wheels do look a little out of alingment in the pics.

Nice car, I'm a big fan of the Tender Blue color.

Are you going to paint it, or concentrate on the mechanicals first?

Nice -SE.


Might I recommend you remove the front plate? Makes the car look SO much cleaner.

(nevermind if its illegal, although it is for me and i dont' care...)

yeah, I am going to paint it this winter. I am going to school for auto body so I will have free use of a paint booth. Untill then im just going to be repairing and cleaning. I hope to do a TII swap sometime next summer.

I will be attempting to do direct fire ignition sometime this week, I just have to find some time.
