Also, here is a picture of my short block.
How come the block is not pink??? Better get on that!

Our goal is to finish it within next 4-5 weeks, if everything goes as planned. So far, we are on schedule

Got a new daily driver few days ago.

'94 base model with A/C, but no P/S. Previous owner had the following installed:
  • KYB AGX
  • H&R springs
  • Racing Beat swaybars and endlinks all around
  • Some CF fender flares
  • Momo steering wheel + hub
  • Racing Beat CAI
  • Torsen diff

Car came with some shitty *** 16x7 wheels so I replaced them with my track wheels (15x8 +35 w/ 5mm spacers) and 225 RS3's.

PS: You can spot my NB in the background

You know that pic reminds me awful lot of the master. I suspect when u decide to redo the suspension it will look like this?

What the **** is being cut in that second picture?

I doubt I will change the suspension on this car. I'm trying to not do anything at all to it, at least until NB is done.

Either the springs or the sway bar links.
