then engine gave out tonight after my third run at englishtown. ran 14.3, 14.4, 13.8. had to play with suspension. car didn't lean out just 100K + mile engine and apex seals wore out. no biggie. i will have my FD back very soon. then i'm gonna fix the TII the way it deserves to be, street port, paint job, fix body, etc, etc. project # 2 for now i have to concentrate on my FD

it was running barely. i drove to ito he gave me the DEATH gesture. i shut it down and pulled the spark plugs. it never started again. had AAA tow me home 
the only thing my TII is good for now is BBQ'ing with the big *** flames that come out of my muffler when i crank the car

the car didn't detonate or anything, i'm pretty sure an apex seal failed due to old age i expected the car to blowup long ago just ask 13BAce. i will have my FD back very soon so its not big deal

FD will be ready next week
yeah my car sounded like a volkswagon :baaaa: the apex seal def broke on the rear rotor. i think i can def make this a 12 sec daily driver beast very easily. just needs the engine rebuild, turbo rebuild, some racing seats, and all the body work fixed. then i will have a mint TII :bigok:
