Yup. Still have it. It's all together and built.. but NA still. Should be turbo before spring. My kit on a customer car has made good power on relatively low boost and pump gas. So we'll see what mine does in the spring.

I pay rent to live at home guys..

Yea Aaron, This year is going to be a good one. I just got a raise tonight, and moved up on the food chain (now working as a light duty technician, with 3 dollars per hour more, on top of the flat rate/hourly pay)

Re: Snow flurries= SALT SALT SALT

Looks like I'm gonna have to go buy a new brush to clean the snow out of my wheels, I can't find my old one. For some reason, they fill up with snow really bad when going sideways.

I am going to be taking tig welding classes as well. My mig is pretty good actually.

Well the car has custom everything bottom end: Rods, pistons, main cradle, bearings, sleeves, arp's, headgaskets, etc.. Heads are stock, but may not be by the time winter ends. On the turbo I have, it should make upper 800's. But I may sell the turbo while new and buy something a bit bigger.

And pics.. I should, it looks pretty decent these days. It needs a good detail and some claybar action(or something similar), but I've been meaning to take some updated pics.

Re: Snow flurries= SALT SALT SALT

This is the first time I drove my car in the winter when there is snow on the ground. Wow! benifits of AWD.

Now I am having trouble deciding if I want to keep driving my car or put it away for the winter...

Opinions about putting car away or not? One side of the argument is that I just cleaned everything up in the engine bay and the car looks nice, other side of me says it is just a fun car to drive and it should be driven.

It has a little rust so it is not a completely clean car. but it is only a little rust that can be fixed...

I Don't know... Plus the car heats up really quickly which is nice in the winter
