i'll just post a bunch of pictures. most of it will make sense.
i got this car for $1500, and it has 401k miles on it.
the plan is to make a track car out of it for ~$5000, but i'm now up to $6000 :/

Welcome back! Nice 1500 grab, I like the way you mounted that FMIC-GL with your build.

thanks guys.

another small update:

i was having a seemingly random hesitation at full throttle.
i replaced the spark plugs which were very very worn (shown above), which helped, but didnt totally fix it.
so i tried out the 12v mod, and it completely fixed the issue! i am pretty sure the hesitation was fuel starvation and/or the switching of voltage up and down.

aw yeah!!
