      so my plan is install the above parts and some parts that i have which are

      the engine compartment is really dirty. i will clean and detail it so i can look at it and not cringe.
      ive been a drag racer for ever but due mostly to the dragstrips closing im going to try autocrossing. the local autocross is only a few miles away so its very convenient to go to. good guys comes and has an autocross that i will enter also. i do plan on taking the car to silver state classic also. my goal is reach the grand sport class where i can run a top speed of 160 mph. i also will look into going to some standing mile races and ive been seeing the texas roll racing and may look into that some day.


      so hears some pics of the car.

      this is pretty much how i received it. it did have the front air dam on it also.


      heres the engine compartment




      this car did participate in the silver state classic in 2011 and 2012
      here its is in 2011.


      and here it is in 2012


      first thing i did when i got this car is clean up the engine compartment, change the hydraulic clutch from a under dash master cylinder set up that didnt have enough travel and to install a maverick man carbon fiber hood







      next i install the tcp control arms and the wilwood front brakes




      im taking an autocross school this weekend with the car. this is the first time ive driven in an autocross so im really excited about it.
