Racecar Rebuild: its been awhile!
Hey, not sure how many of you remember me, but I used to race a lot of autocross and was starting to get into road course racing. Well in May of 2010 I managed to slide the car off the fastest corner of the course and almost rolled it. By almost I mean there was blades of grass stuck too the top of the mirror on the passenger side.
Unfortunately the result was the near complete destruction of my JIC Magic coilovers and several bent suspension links. To add insult to injury after I landed the car on is wheels I hit a berm, denting my header and basically destroying most of the plastic and sheet metal on the nose of the car.
Well, at the time I had no money to put the car back together, so it got partially disassembled and parked. I bought an old Volvo from my aunt and basically forgot about the car. I just didn't have the money to fix any of it.
So it was left to sit, like this, alone in a crappy carport.

To top it off this past summer I got blown up, leaving me with only half of my left hand, very blurred vision in my left eye, and I'm in need of 1 more surgery to replace my 2nd eardrum.
Well now I'm in my senior year of school, and I have managed to collect a sum of money I can use to rebuild the car with. So here it goes, I pulled the trigger on the last set of FLT-A2's in JIC's inventory and its time to get this thing back on the track!

Well since its been sitting for 2 years without running, I'm planning on doing a full engine rebuild. I don't have the money yet to go a crazy as I want to with it, but it should be more then it was previously. I have some new friends and contacts to start building the car for the class' I intend to bring it back into.

Well, if you want to make your 6g72 a little snappier, I have at least one 6g74 intake manifold (amongst the many left over parts) you can buy from me (mods don't worry, I will make a fs thread) however you might end up fighting my engine builder for the 6g74 crank if you plan on stroking the engine
Well fellow pyro, stay safe and good luck
