he is alive and well teaching in a college on the west coast.

He spray canned his manifold, he never dynoed the car, but it had to be

close to 500hp and he knows how to do things fast and cheap and he does

all his own work.

He was telling me that when he installed his FD manifold he didn't retune the motor and ended up boosting more then he thought and blew the hell out of the internals,lol...he showed me pics, very gruesome...

Hey now....





I seriously tried getting that thing, but the ******* bank lost my paperwork. I know 13Bace prolly doesn't believe me, but I wasn't joking at all. The proof is that I spent the $3k on my Atkins built motor,lol...so it's not like I didn't have the $$...just bad timing. I still feel bad about that...SORRY ACE!





BTW...my car would have been running months ago if I had ******* oil lines,lol...which should now be here THIS week according to corksport(after the 2nd try at shipping and 2nd try at ordering,lol)...only time will tell.
