WELL it looks like it will be a new engine

for me. Havent got offical confirmation yet haha

But as of next tuesday when I can get it in my

garage it looks like the FD engine with about 40,000

miles HAS BLOWN.. FRONT ROTOR TOO NO LESS!

P.S. yes big sideport, Injectors, port polish intake and

exhaust manifold is going to happen along with

removal of the ABS, EMISSIONs(hose nest) and

Possible PS, but not sure yet...

No diff without the ABS? Figured not much doesnt work anyway all that great anyway..



PS----- MAN!! I want to, but its a daily driver still. After I know I have a good go to and from work car, I will probably drop it off. I noticed a lot of PRO cars, keep the PS, but drop the rest of the junk... I wil have to think about it. I dont need a workout in my car too.

The ABS removal was easy as offering candy to a school girl... :yum:



with the PS...that's up to you. My 7's a daily driver, but I know where to steer clear from and how to make a u-turn(LOTS OF GAS/E-brake action)...
