LoL well that's progress to me. Fireturd used to be that way. Felt so cool that I could one-wheel-peel it into second gear in the rain.

I can one wheel peel in rain!

Burnouts????

It's not fully back together quite yet, I just need one full day off and it should be running again.

How does it run now?

[murphmobile2]

Oh, timing tape is on my balancer now. This should make fine tuning the timing a breeze.

Much more progress, the front of the engine has been repainted and sealed up! I inspected my timing as well, and it was a tooth off. That's what I get for trusting other people to work on my car, and it also explains all of my running / timing issues.

I also finally finished installing my black headlights!

I absolutely abhor the timing covers on these cars. My new one showed up finally at least!

And yes I really need gears! 2.41's in a 7.5 is a horrible, horrible setup for this car haha.

This is a cool project.

Needs gears! Does this have a 7.5"?
