Well I picked it up as my first car. First thing I did was remove those JDM tail lights.

I rember the kid who had it before you when I was going to dunwoody. He also went there.

So..... Does the other muffler just sit there or did someone actually connect it up to the exhaust?

I like the Talon looking front bumper. Also, I assume the BOV tube was unhooked temporarily while the pic was taken? Good luck getting everything fixed.

Agreed that while you're getting a new tranny might as well do the AWD swap.

EDIT: just saw the new motor, looks nice. That FP exhaust stud kit is really nice, I got the same thing recently.

Wow, that engine looks really clean now. How much was the valve spring compressor?
Looks like Fun!

Did you have to run spacers to clear the brembos?
