Awesome!

What was the story on your build up?
What kind of power are you looking for?

Good luck with everything.

last april...pulled the car out of storage...during a tuning session....crappy fuel pressure regulator failed...melted number 3....i cried...then cried some more....put car back into storage....started accumulating parts...pistons/rods/arp studs/top feed injectors/act clutch/ti retainers/hks valve springs/etc.....

since its a good friend of mine that is doing the rebuild....i waited until he was able to find time out of their busy schedule to do my car....finally got block back...re-assembled parts...and motor to drop in and HKS F-con also to be installed....gone is my vpc/afr and techtom ecu setup (WHICH IS ALL FOR SALE i must add!!!!!)....w/o cams a realistic goal i'm looking for is around the 350-375 rwhp range.....i can't wait to get her home into her new garage parked beside the wifey's IS300....

Who's doing the tuning?

Are you changing anything else, like body, color, rims? Just curious, it looks badass as it was. Good luck!
