Got a 3.73lsd so I can finally drive my car in piece. Gawd I hated the 4.27 yeas that's right 4.27 paired it a five speed. I ran on the interstate 80mph at roughly 5200 rpm. I mean yea the car leaves like mofo but it just sucks after that.
Oh a whilst driving the other day. I could be going 60 mph press the clutch and the car would drop to 0 rpm and die... And it wouldn't idle at all. Now it idles fine??

MHW taillights are here and the brand new mtech 2 valance is here. After some consideration this car is going to go under the knife this winter. she will be striiped and the body will be 100% blasted, put on rotisserie and re undercoated. then the suspension will be powder coated and re installed. The car is going to be painted lazaur blu instead of black and the mtech kit will be bonded to the body for ever so the oem clips will no longer be needed. Then the m20 will be built into a 2.9 itb stroker. She will be sporting my mtech fabric that is getting made.

Grabbed a zf tranny for the m50 swap and I also pretty much got a m50 just gotta go pay for it. Won't happen until March or April though as its in Kingstons car right now so it needs pulled and then rebuilt. Which I'll have done before I go pick it up. also got a lead on some French smileys should be grabbing in the coming weeks.
