It's definitely alot easier to work without it all in the way, but it's going back in. When I put in the new engine in 2006 I discharged the A/C and never got a chance to put it back in... it's been out so long now though that it's going to have to be cleaned and professionally serviced. I want the car to have A/C again

I think 10's are in the near future. I wish I could find the time and commitment to do the same.

Good luck!!!
Thanks Fred.. I spent some time in the evenings after work and a little bit of time on the weekends getting it back together. You can ask any of my friends, I HATE having the car down and out.. all I do is talk about it

I drove it to work today and plan to drive it a good bit this next week.

It's what I do!

I'll get it out there within a week or two I'm sure. Got some track rentals coming up in February I think too.

Awesome, I can't wait to see some new times

And I'll be at the LTxshootout for sure, I hope to see some of you there! Hopefully I'll have my moser 9" installed by then so I can graduate out of the high 11s

Hey, looks good...I was wondering which one of us would crack a 10 second run first...Seeing as its 30 degrees and icey here in good ol' PA, I'm hoping you crack some *** at the track......I've got to wait til March to try out the subtle changes I'm making...The 6 point is in...ordering the new rear sway bar, then we'll scale the car again to reset the preload and see what weight the bar added...If I can get anywhere in the 1.4s to 60' I think a 10.99 would happen...We'll see how much more we can eek out of this almost 13 year old motor...

Anyway, good luck!!
