The extension cord is for a battery tender. What changed was I got my hands on a hardtop, and just got it back from paint. Went over to the dark side.

Hey I was just wondering if the m tuned manifolds were all t2 flanged? I have an opportunity to buy one tomorrow and the seller is kind of clueless and can measure so I'm just going to drive the 2 hrs and take a look. Won't allow me to pm you because my post count is below 15. Sorry for the bump.

Spent a day doing some fun runs at the new track in Tamworth, NH- Club Motorsports, with the Viper club a few weeks back.

Well the journey has come to and end with this car, it's been a fun and wild ride, but the head gasket just went on it, and I don't feel like investing the time/effort back into it again. I most likely will be parting it out as I doubt anyone will buy it as-is without me taking an absolute bath on it.

It's been fun!

This car is too good to be parted out. Did the motor overheat? IF you're over it, wouldn't paying shop to do a stock engine swap and run less boost sell for more than a part out?

It did not overheat. No idea how it happened either. I debated going that route, but it's not a cheap endeavor, and still time consuming. I'm not sure I'd make out all that better in the long run either.

Nice, I think I remember that/you! It's been fun, but I just get the sense I'm throwing money at it at this point. Every time I turn around it's another $500.
