yup, cover still fits. The cover is affected by Strut Bars but sway bars are the ones underneath attached to the endlinks.

I kinnda wish I took pics but with no digi cam, that was a bit of a challenge. But trust me, the bars are a nice shiny red color! SO PRETTY.

Temp for the mornign groups... yes.
Track layout was most of the problem. where most of these pics were taken it was very fast to a slow turn. thats always asking for cones to get mowed.
also first group had a bit of water still on the track for the first lap or two.

my first run was a joke. almost looped it like 4 times.

I have no neighbors.
Empty lot on one side
empty lot behind me (kinda)
The place next door is a forclosure (thus the F'ed up fence)
And the guy across the street will be the one doing my roll cage and custom exhaust. He doesn't mind the mess.



Good morning everybody

The roll cage will be for safety.
We are gutting the car to the point that the doors will be cut up and be a skin only. Everything in the front trunk is gone, including removing metal from the hood. Even the rear trunk will be cut out to save weight.
So for safety, I want a cage.

Engine is in!!!!!!!
Still missing a few hoses, and I need to have one of the motor mounts welded in place, but the motor is holding itself in the car.

I am a happy Beagle

u misunderstood... i wasn't talking about the mess- tho now that u brought it up, i guess that's something too.. lol. starting up & tuning a newly-installed engine is well- loud and smokey... i know my neighbors hated my neighbor dean every time he re-installed the engine in his FD... lol. the smoke, the noise. lol.

what do u do when u just dropped a pretty penny on a nice house in a nice neighborhood and then find out your next door neighbor's kid rebuilds engines in his garage?

every home-owner's nightmare who is NOT a car enthusiast, i'd imagine...
