Holy crap, it's been months since I've updated this thing.

So let's catch up shall we?

First off, thanks to Gerrb, I was able to get the passenger side window regulator fixed!

And with that...I got some goodies!

Saleen reps 18x10 and 18x9.


Got them wrapping in some Continental rubber. 265/35 and 245/35

Ans as we speak, I'm either buying it stockpiling parts for this single turbo project.

It's been about 4 months since I've properly updated this thing.

This past summer, during a spirited little drive, I hit something on I-75 and it snapped a caliper bolt on the right hub. The torque alone snapped the hub and twisted the metal, leaving me...luckily...on the exit.

I was able to get it twoed to a friends shop and thanks to Aliga on the boards I was able to get a new hub and get it repaired and back on the road.

Haven't done much in terms of performance or looks for that matter.

Finally reloacted the wiring harness. Rolled the fenders a bit to properly fit the 18x10s in the back of the SC.

It's been a slow process but as time goes by I'm finding more things that need to be address before I decide to jump into the Single Turbo realm.

Need to get the bushings and front tie rods to get rid of the vibrations when I pass 80mph.

I actually want to be able to go fast in this thing.

Replace a few fuses, not sure if it's a wiring harness problem but I still have Hazard lights but no turn signals...and the wipers are intermittenly cutting off and on.

Ugh...the lift of a 22 year old car.





Nevertheless...here'sa few pictures from the Luxury Car Meet 5 in August.
