Hey everyone. I've kinda been away from the boards since i parked my car back in may and started the rebuild. The boards just made me depress caused i didn't have my car lol. Well it took me about 9 monthes between a lot of starts and stops cause of conflicts with schedule but I finally finished her. She is up and running once again.

For those of you that don't know or don't remembered I went about and did lloyd elliot stage 2 heads with a 1.5 cam and ported intake manifold, 37lbs injectors, electric water pump, comp cams push rods and 1.6 rocker arms and a couple other bells and whisles i'm not thinking of.

So far she seems to be ok, I'm running open headers for now though until I finished mapping out the x-pipe based exhaust i'm going to do so she is very very loud lol.

I still need to fine tune her a little bit but it sure feels good to be driving an f-body again. I'll try to post up some of the rebuild pictures when I can.

I must say though that I think the best part of it all though is knowing that I did it with my own two hands its a really good feelinh, not bad for an 18 year old kid I geuss lol.

Hope to see a lot of you soon, going to do my best to make it to the october meet.

,Nick

Glad 2 hear yer up and running. And if yer car ain't running, don't let it depress ya enough to stay off the board. Many of us have cars in the non-running phase. Hell, my cars may never run again, but I'm still a happy boi! :mrgreen:
