Thank's for the comments guys....

(A) I was at the Team ECI Extreme Showoff here in Jacksonville, FL. I was there with my crew, Stage 6 Motorsports/SloPok. We really didn't fit in the show, we were the only crew that had only performance stuff done. We got most participation award with having about 30 cars there.

(B) Yes I have problems with heat on the master cylinder! I normally have it wrapped, but I took it off for the show. Wasn't a good idea because on the way home it melted a nice hole in it... Oh well, I've got a Z32 master cylinder going in today, and I'm going to get a heatshield built.

(C) The cold pipe was made by Stage 6, the rest of the piping is Nsport as you can see. I'm sure they could make you one man modeled after mine. I'm about to go up there, I will get some prices for you.

Thanks alot man! I bought the car from the original owner with 93k miles, they told me it was original paint. So, as long as they were being honest its original paint with a nice wax job. ;)

Still no dyno.... I've been fighting a weekly battle of fixing misc items here and there from oil leaks to exhaust leaks, brake problems, and just general maintenance. The car has almost 130k miles on the chassis now and its gettin old. A built KA at high boost just doesnt help either. :)

However, this coming week I am fixing my last oil leak and some of my boost problems hopefully, upgrading the ignition to an MSD box, and then. DYNO!
