hey sister in law, it should run real hard but I don't forsee setting any land speed records with it as the rebuild has not been focused on performance parts. I just don't have the dough to build a bad ass bitchin motor that is going to go 11's or something like that as this has already had a large impact on the wallet just replacing parts. I should have a real solid 13 second car and more imporantly an excellent starting point to go much faster. Once I'm done paying off everything from this it will be new turbo time and than things should pick up considerably. I need to find work for the summer to keep me afloat so that is #2 goal after I finish my car and get it up and running. Wish me luck this weekend guys, Morgan I know life is hectic let me know if your interested in coming down either day..I'll call you too.

I kinda think that those interviews have already started or are done. If not, I'm sure you could get a job there no problem. Between my mom as a reference and your experience with kids you'd be a shoe in... I'll find out.

And go fill out an NBA bracket...

...what a shitty weekend it has been. Well had the motor all ready to go back in went to switch the torque converter and...I'm fucked. output shaft of the transmission was almost completely worn..any further and the car won't go anywhere. It gets worse that input shaft goes pretty damn deep into the tranny so it doesn't make any sense to re-do that and not do the entire tranny. so $1,000 dollars later I will now have a freshened motor and trans...Pulled the trans saturday it is going to vegas next weekend should have it back together the weekend after that. No track for me next weekend...ugh atleast it is what I was planning on doing eventually anyway...

Did you check with Paul? He has 2 700R4s, one of which is practically brand new. Bet'cha he'd let one go for a good price.

That is until the computer gathers enough bad info from various sensors and starts throwing codes at you left and right. Ahahaha! Seriously though, if it throws a code, don't flip. It's normal to forget one vacuum line or not push in one electrical connector all the way.

Congrats on the rebuild! Can't wait to see the car run, still haven't seen it with the alc inj.

I actually saw it running today - sounded good. He still has to tune, but it should be pretty awesome when done.
