Yeah, Marty is crazy, that guy has some serious skill and his car is setup RIGHT! Mine won't be quite to that level of tuning, but it'll be nice, when I'm done with it, I'll put up some pictures, I work until 5:30 and with Atlanta traffic, that means I don't get home until about 6:30, so it's dark when I finally get home.

I'll take more pictures this weekend, here's a few to tide you over until then . . .

LMAO! They're not THAT old, that's how the car looks now, well . . .it's a LOT dirtier now, but once I get a chance to, I'm going to pull it in the garage and scrub her good . .

This water restriction thing is f'ing ridiculous . . .

Dude, LOL! I'm ultra indecisive, my sponsors HATE IT! LOL! But I'm hoping I made the right choice with this car . . .I really hope . . .mostly because I'm going to tough it out, ask DJ (Biggamehit) if this were Stig of yesteryear, this car would be sold and I would be pricing something else, LOL!

I went through cars like underwear . . .HAHA!

Wow, that engine seemed dirty, let me clean that up, and . . .WOW! These wires are TOAST! This is why it's important to always make sure you've properly maintained your engine, because other's won't!

Here we go loobdy loo! Here we go loobdy lah!


WOW DAMN! Check out these spark plugs, they look like they've been through hell and back!

Yeah, it was definitely time for them to come on out!


Alright, lets get that new one in there, using an extention and a 5/8" socket-to-me, we should be done in no time!

Now, lets go ahead and start and that pesky roll bar . . .shouldn't be too hard . . .

Just remove the plastics on the inside and take the seatbelt pivots loose . . .



Then we sit it in, and make sure it's sized up properly tightening the secondary support bolts.

Ahh! Looks lovely . . .okay, now . . .we take the roll bar, secure it down with the primary support bolts, then AGAIN with the seatbelt support bolts making sure that we remove TWO of the THREE spacers that hold the seat belt in place an VIOLA!

Now comes the difficult part, I have to take the plastics inside and cut them so that they fit AROUND the roll bar! DAMN IT MAN! You know . . . .we could always just not put the plastics back in, seeing as how in a few months, she'll have a cage inside of her anyway (HAH! I made that sound SOOO dirty)

Anyhow, that's enough for now . . .next up . . .the rotors and pads!
