    I don't know about game changing, but it's going to be interesting. :)

    starting to mock some stuff up. Almost got my garage cleaned/organized to the point where I can find stuff. You know it's bad when you keep ordering the same part over and over and then realize you already had 4 of them in a box somewhere..

      Yeah Adam kind of clued me when he went up and got his ecu coded. I'm right there with you, I'm clearing out garage space this week so I have space to pull my car apart. I was going to go the same route but, I couldn't justify spending the coin. Can't wait to see the next phase of your car.

        But your m20 is so pretty!
        I really want a similar ignition setup in the future.

          In college I used to get hammered and buy M30 afm's for some reason. I still have like 5 in my basement.

                      yeah, but I'm bored. :p

                      The ignition setup is nice. mostly because I never have to touch anything - no cap and rotor to go bad, ever! and no more of those really stupid plug ends that thread onto the spark plugs with the "nipple" things removed. I hated those like aids.

                        You should probably sell me your complete ignition setup and harness when you're done with it. ;)

                          I'll probably want to sell it all with the motor - we'll see. it runs so smoothly the way it's setup, it would be a shame to split it all up..

                            took some pics during my favorite month. these are just cell phone shots which really aren't so bad. brought my kids to the park for lunch and playground, couldn't resist..






                            also, my car's birthday is in 2 days - 10/21/1990 :)

                                Looks mean with those r888's! The second picture makes it look like there is quite a bit of negative camber in the front.
