She Lives!!! and loud as all hell

so, as a few of you know I decided to go single on my own with the help of a couple friends. Last night the car cranked up and boy was that a beautiful sound. The only issue is that it has a pretty high idle (1800) and 2 loud exhaust leaks (1 in the engine bay which is slight but loud). Anyway, right now Im just figuring how to get it to RP (20 miles) from burke without drawing every cop in the county. But its good to have her running again!!!

Nice! Good luck with the tuning and rest of owning the car. I'll have to come check it out sometime before the snow hits.
