            Ok guys, I'll do eveything white. Except around the windows. And the wipers. Dorr handles and hatch handle will soon be white. Then it needs a turbo.

                An excellent choice, sir. And turbo the hell out of it, break it at the track (after posting some awesome numbers), then build it better than it was!

                    The car got raced again tonite. It was driven by my neighbor Brian (bondfreak13) He's never driven a 5 speed at a track. After a couple trys and some coaching, he was able to get a 15.51 @ 89.7 mph. I ran it before and went 15.50 @90.0 I think He did a heck of a job on learning.

                        I think I could get this car into the 14's with more than 1 pass.

                          The car would go 14's with a new clutch. I'm telling ya, I had that SE-R Spec-V with slicks until the clutch started slipping.

                              Hey Greg, why not give him one of those G trannys you have laying around? But I'm guessing you will be doing that if you plan on major motor improvements.

                                That was the plan, but code enforcement won't let me work on anything now.

                                It'll get one soon tho. I just need to figure out what i want from the car first. I have a fast festiva and a good street festiva......so Casper is kinda not even in the picture at the moment
