It just took longer than I expected, and being out of the state and moving three times with inconsistent income didnt help the situation.

It will run in the next year or so, hoping for a mild 900 rw on pump gas, no meth, no nitrous, no e85 shit. I dont think it will put down much more than that on the street, but I will turn it up till I am scared of it regardless.

Now Steve this is what the description of a race car looks like. Not my bucket of bolts.

I've got to dig up some of the pics of my old foxes I've had. I'll try and get some up this weekend.

Not an all out race car, still has full interior, AC, powersteering, huge brakes, will be on 17s or 18s most the time etc... It's more of a mile car type build.

Your car is far from a race car imo. Steve is just being Steve.

I know I just like screwing with him. It will be nice to see the old 86 back on the road. It's been a long time since I've seen that car.

Shit.. I've got manual steering and brakes, 12 point cage, minimal interior, no AC, and Kirkey seats....

But it's got a tag and insurance, so it's a streetcar.

lol well, some people are willing to sweat and fight the steeting wheel for an extra tenth. Not so much me.

I can just push a button on my boost controller to make up the 100 lbs.

I really don't mind the manual steering much, and most of my running around in this car is at night with the window down anyway, so I don't mind the lack of AC either. I plan on putting certain things back in this car (interior).
The yellow car will be the street car, and this will end up seeing more track duty. The main reason behind buying this car was the cage.
