I hope I'm not stealing Greg's thunder, but I'm not sure if he has internet yet, so I'll go ahead and post up. Greg got a black 94 3000 GT SL after selling his laser. The car is pretty sweet, but needed a new water pump badly. So Greg went ahead and did the 60K on it while the two Adams sat and heckled. The most labor intensive part that I did was scrape gaskets off, but that's only because Greg would have been there all night.  The car started right up and ran relatively well after the belt swap. the hole in the down pipe is really messing with it's chi. The car has an underdrive pulley, K&N intake, hardpipe to the plenum, Borla exhaust, and magnacore wires. overall a pretty sweet ride. The paint needs a good shine, and the seats have the usual wear, but everything else was really nice on the car. After we got it running I ate Gregs meat, and was dissaponted to find out that he had no more bawls. Seeing as the car is already one of the fastest front wheel drives in the nation, (I think just the underdrive pulley did that.  ) Greg plans on now getting some nitrous oxide, and a big single turbo and going for the 3/S 1/4 mile record. I wish him luck on this new endaevour. I believe he was predicitng low 9's by the beginning of next summer. Brett, you had better get that T-88H on quick, or Greg will steal your title as fastest 3/S eva. EVA!

No, Seriously I ate a pound of Greg's meat. The taco bell mix for taco meat. He made up three pounds and it was split between three guys. I had gas all the way home. And he was fresh out of bawls. And we never made it to woodmans to get more. damned the luck. Sorry Greg, did I let the cat out of the bag to early on the single turbo thing? my bad.

The meat was good. A just reward for being the guy that stands in the corner.

Update on the car. I drove her to work for the 1st time this morning. Alignment is perfect, steering is tight, and the ECS works beutifully. It drives very well. The tranny was recently rebuilt (shifts perfect), along with a new clutch, and remaned axels. The car definately needs a new downpipe. My fiberglass patch over the front flex section is doing just fine, but there's another hole over the rear flex section making the car sudder at high rpms. I'm looking for a low mileage one (with no holes) or hunting for some place to make a replacement cheep. If anyone has any connections, let me know!ABS light is on. Discovered the 60A fuse was missing. Replaced it but the light is still on. The manual lists ways to check each sensor and the pump, so that's my next task. I also discovered one of the prongs for the 120A fuse for the alternator was damaged. The cabin had no power unless the motor was running. Another easy fix. 120K tuneup is complete and compression is almost perfect. The motor is very healthy and still has great oil pressure. Cruising at 75 mph, the needle on the stock gauge points to the last tick before the large one on the high side of the gauge. This is with fresh 10w30 motor oil. No lifter tick either. The car needs a little cleanup under the hood and a good coat of wax which I hope to get to this weekend. The body is in very nice shape. Looks like the car has been garage kept as there appears to be no fading in any of the interior panels, seats are great, and the dash vents aren't cracked.  I'll be posting this car for sale after I get the new exhaust and the TT back from the paint shop. Unfortunately, I just can't afford to keep it which really sucks because the car is in such great shape. _________________ 06 Blue EVO 9
