Hey Gurg, do u live near Cupertino. That driving range looks familiar.

Those wheels look SOO HOT on your car. Its clean as clean can be. Your car gets an A+ in my book dude.

Hey Guys

Thanks for the nice comments. The wheels were a huge transformation... Speakign of which, as if the engine was not a large enough a transformation, the next few days before Cali Trarck day will be another cunch time transformation challenge. Got 320 miles of breakng in 2 days, another at least 400-500 by friday. Coilovers are going in tomorrow, corner balancing the day after, tuning Wednesday (possibly startng tuesday). The tuning method used will be VERY UNIQUE and IMO very elegant. More on that later...

I am in love with these Enkei wheels! Period! I especially love the deeper face in the back wheels compared to the front. Oh yeah. on the pink lug nuts... go easy on me guys... they used to be deep anodized RED! Also, my stock lug nuts (well...half of them) were MIA..so no dice there. Promise, new NUTS by friday.

Gurgen

P.S. Oh yeah... the block, along with the upper oil pan each had huge wholes in it... they are scrap!!! There is some disagreements as to what happened exactly. Score so far (unweighted with respect to expertise): Detonation - 2, Failed rod/rod bolt - 6. there is NO sign of any prolonged or recent detonation by the people who inspected the block first hand.

Enron,

thanks for the comments. The driving range is at the Montebello Country Club (ot as nice as it sounds, I assure you), in SoCal.

We gotta get together sometime when I am up in NorCal (january).
