      Welcome to the site.

      There are a lot of guys in your area. It's always fun getting together with guys who drive other cars. It's a great way to learn about what else is out there, and get new ideas on how to do things. Not to mention the resources for getting good service and parts.

          I like to work on the side of prevention. She's held strong (knock on wood).

                              I don't know the car pulled so well I launched from 4.5k and pulled on a awd talon. I went through all the gears no over rev nothing. Car was absolutely perfect. At the end of the strip it shut down and thats that. Maybe bad gas...not sure but at this point it doesnt matter... I'm going big this winter though expect to see alot of changes. There may be 2.5l under the hood next spring
