hello, pics from oregon
just thought i should share what i have to deal with when working on a car. it was cloudy but not raining/hailing then the next minute it turned into this. got a couple pics of the project 323, tell me what ya think. ACT clutch, BOV, and running the intercooler piping is happening tomorrow. 
this winter is body kit, then spring getting paint. hopefully ill have some wheels in a couple months! i just got this car a week ago, its only began!
oh yah, anyone got a passenger side mirror for sale? at a fair price!?

i just got some intrax springs on the bucket right now, im gonna get some coil overs soon so the intrax springs (bought last summer) will be up for sale soon. its pretty damn quick as it is now, even with that burnt cluth and stock exhaust. its a fun car though and i love it

Move to PA, I need another roomate anyways! hehehe...
Holy crap, I can't imagine how fast that thing would be... what's it like if you do like a 40 mph roll start in third and mash it???? me = jealous
[edit]
I was looking for 16s, but I couldn't find any that I really liked that were still lightweight... So I got the 17s... They look big, but still good

yah im having trouble finding good lookin 16's. all the ones i like are 17's 
basically i have "some" go full throttle in 1st, rest of the gears fly way up and the car barley moves. if i punch it going 40 even in fourth gear the rpms fly then i lay of the car jerks from the clutch catching again. tomorrow problems fixed

2fast4u: i dont race yet, i have two busted struts in the front so i dont want wheel hop and bust my tranny when im trying to race. i dont have an intercooler on yet either and i dont wanna burn piston rings or overheat the turbo. i also have 13" tires lol that are made by "caliente" 
suck sucks sucks i so wanna race but i gotta dump another $2k in before i race 
i have the intercooler, im gonna go run the piping today like i said earlier and see what fits best.

alright that's cool. can you fix the picture thing so i can see your car? that's sucks that you need to do all that stuff before you race. i too need to replace my struts that are blown, but i'll still race. are you going to go to the track on friday? i know you won't race, but still, it would be cool to see each other's cars. later
