I wasn't a fan of the stripe...or bulldog...or the autozone stick on fender vent things, so I removed them and had the car buffed and it looks like a completely different car.

carbon seals for a street car? ugh. and on the stock ECU? sorry but i'm trying to wrap my head around what the PO was trying to accomplish.

looks nice and clean now though, after the transformation back from the JC whitney catalog masterpiece.

lol...he wasn't finished building it he was gonna spray it. he took his wife out in the car and scared the **** outta her kickin the *** end out so she made him sell it...sucks for him but awesome for me!! even on the stock ecu shes a lil ripper, I cant wait to get a tune so its running under ideal conditions. but honestly I wont know if they really are carbon seals until I pull the header off and take a peek at them.

OH

since I have the next 3 days off im gonna do some automotive archeology and dig into the car and see what I can find out. im gonna get my old oil cooler lines off and ready to put on my new ones as soon as they arrive. I was told by the previous owner in his broken English that it was studded togather so im gonna pull the starter and see if theres an aftermarket flywheel or stock and that'll give me a good idea of how much bs the PO was sayin even if its just bridgeported and rebuild I still got a damn good deal on it and itll tell me what im gonna do with the motor, 3 options im lookin at are spray, turbo, or itb
