Wow, very much sweetness but I think I will stick with just a scoop that way I can afford the CP Racing headlight conversion.

The scoop would be cool. I was thinking about getting that b/c its 10x cheaper than a hood. I'd rather put money toward the susp and engine. I think i may order the radio surround soon though. I need somewhere to install some gauges. Right now I have a dual pod molded to the top of the plastic surround I have now but its kinda ugly. It was cracked up and busted so I figured it wouldn't hurt. I don't want my stereo in that spot any more and when I decide to get a replacement I'm going to install it in the glove box probably.
Ps I may have my megasquirt kit ready for to install in the summer. I'll get to get run maps from something besides the maf and get rid of that chunck of mass. I ordered the parts kits on Wed., got all the diodes,resistors, etc.. friday. PCB's should be here next week.

I wanted to pour all my money into the suspension but I've realized that my car will suck very badly doing autox due to the lack of powersteering. I'm still going to buy a set of KYB AGXs but I'm going to forget getting sway bars and such. I guess she is going to be a pretty much straight-line driver for now. But thats ok, I found me a '77 Corolla with a L28ET Datsun 280zx turbo swap in it for $750. I'm going to try and get that as my Autox car.

I guess I'm going to hold off on the Corolla for now. A guy on MemphisRacingScene.com has it and a AE86 GT-S Coupe for $1500. I think I'm just going to put all of money in a rebuild right now.

LOL, no, you can roast them off for free. You can either pick them up if you still need to get that e-brake cable this week (<---BTW: I still have'nt gotten around to pulling) or I can give them to you when I get up to Walnut Ridge.
BTW: I'm working on that "rear power steering"

We got alot of cleaning done today. I will put some pics of under the hood, tonight. We used a tub of Power Clean and a large assortment of brushes to try and make my engine compartment spotless. Right now we are studying the FSM and we are going to try to make and attempt to "simplify" the harnesses. Get rid off all the wires and plugs associated with all the emissions. So far, things are going pretty smoothy just very behind on schedule. But, that is the way it always goes. I just hope the GTU will be gone here in the next couple of days that way I can get my rebuild done.
