No, Tallgeese has my old IM--it made great topend, but my motor was on the way out so my dyno results weren't good to compare. I sold it to pay for a new block/transmission.

BEGi did the welding for me. From that stemmed the welded IM you can see on their website...but then they moved to the one with the cast runners. But I dunno if the project has really got off the ground.

Well.. car is back in commission on the 20th. Things to do:
Seafoam
Replace CAS O-Ring
Oil Change
Rotors & Pads.
The ------- school turned down my car for a free brake job (free rotor resurfacing would've saved me $$$) because my friend told me it was too low to clear the lift. ------- friends <3.


^thats low


^this is where i sit.

oh yes this is more of a rant than an update /endrage.
