Default This is my raft

I recently posted a for sale thread and I figured I introduce myself for those that do not frequent the turbo site. I'm Jenna and I love cars. So far I am on my second motor and this are a few of items on my mod list:

99 motor
GT2870 churbo 15psi
Absurdflow low mount manifold
3" Turbo-back straight pipe exhaust
Rx7 red 460cc injectors
FMIC
NRG Type-S BOV
Braineack MS
CRX Racing aluminum radiator
Coolant re-route
Racelands coil overs
MSM black/red seats
NB 15" wheels 205/50 rubber all around

Here's are some pics of me doing some work, and my car.

Blown motor out!!









All work was done in this tiny garage

I'm taken so nothing creepy, chicks (women) with tuned cars are hot. That aside props on the car. It looks like you have a coolant reroute. If so Trackspeed has a nice plug/cap for the front water neck. Ditch the ugly thing. I'll let you know how my coolant lines wind up once my '99block/'01 head gets finished. For some odd reason I like the NB wheels.

Yeah, I totally didn't get this message until now. And that FB account I use for MTchat is bogus and I only access it through the home computer.

It was good of you to come out to the track to support my cheap efforts to go play on the track with used parts! Thanks!

Saw this thread and showed it to my daughter Flossie. She's 5 years old and likes to help dad in the garage on my '91 Spec Miata. Anyways, she saw you working on the engine and thought it was pretty awesome.

With luck she'll grow up with some mechanical ability. I've got two other kids but none of them show any interest.

Good luck on the build and keep up the hard work! There's nothing quite like driving something you've put together.
