yeah? thats really cool. paul wants to throw a PP engine in this one, i think i'm leaning toward turbo, i DO have a cartech manifold and a 60-1
I'd go PP. Rarer setup. More unique. Is Paul going to use fuel injection or carbs?

did the rear toe, the FSM has kinda 2 ways to do it. so i had to learn why 
they have you measure the distance between the subframe studs in the body and the rear arm where the lateral link attaches, you square those first, then set the toe.
its cold, took a while to figure this out, ended up with 1/16th out.
car feels great, very responsive
