But I'll say this - and not to infer that I have greater driving talent, not in the least - going with a moderate to heavy oversteering car can be very dangerous for a less EXPERIENCED driver so buyer beware....



When did you talk to my wife, Pat?
Thanks mic. I always knew that a car that oversteer is more dangerous for inexperienced driver, but i figured id try to get mine as neutral as i possibly can, but lean a bit towards understeer for others who dont drive it like i do and would rather it indersteer.

Guess i will have to set it even MORE towards understeer. Always figure mine was good enough but since im not the only one driving, i wouldnt want anyone to fishtail my car haha

Sold the turbo kit except the intercooler and BOVs, sold the clutch/flywheel. Sold the fuel bits. Time to go back stock and sell...



















Not. Time for 4 digit build!

Finished up pulling all the connection to electrical harness. Engine is ready to be pulled Saturday.

No they were refinished. The original color was black. Whoever refinished them did a great job though.
