finally jumped back on that bitch on monday. fuel system issue should be figured out and it will "hopefully" fire tommorow night. just gotta run dome oil and coolant lines to turbo after the fuel system is finished.

On another note, while the care might start if wont roll becaue i think i mushroomed the threads on the lower front right ball joint, so im trying to source one now to replace it to get it on the road and tuning started. if i can pick one up locally ill have it rolling tommorow night as well.

Shout out to Perskryption for gettin his car to EPT motorsports. The rebuild quote was right one the money for the mans budget, and turn around time should be just as fair. Make sure to check those guys out if you get a spare second.

Lol the fact that y'all are trusting any company in El Paso to touch your engines amaze me lol. I couldnt imagine not doing it myself with the help of someone thats built many many engines in his day and letting someone else do it.

Even bigger shout out to the Non believers! if your confident in your skills to handle your platform, then be content with that! dont hate on some individuals with minimal or no knowledge on some aspects to get professional help. i have a very good amount of mechanical experience but minimal when it comes to rotaries. its one thing for a shop to SAY they can fix your car. but when they have examples rolling out with major endwork completed and running, thats a horse of a different color.

He doesnt understand that some of us actually have a life outside of the forum where we actually work on our cars and race them instead of talking about it.
