Hey thx I'm glad SOMEBODY likes it:D

So I've takent the car out for a few illegal rides and I've realized a few things....

1. I didn't realize how much I missed that feeling of the front end pulling up and being pushed back in the seat.:evilgrin:

2. My headlights SUCK

3. I've got a LOT of noise coming through. Mostly road noise. I don't know if its because of the suspension or what.

4. I've got a lot of work left to do.:toilet:

I've got to get this thing road legal. I can't stand it especially now that it's actually driveable. It'll definitely be out on the road again soon.

You are talking about a V6, right? :poke:

None of my V-6's have ever gave me that feeling... If the front end is pulling up, I would look into putting some new shock absorbers in there :flip: haha ;)

That's because the  only v6 you've ever driven that makes almost as much torque as mine does is offset by the addition of about 1000 lbs;):burnout:

Thanks!

Believe it or not, a lot of research actually went into the setup that I chose.

Well I took the car out for a little fun today, and I think I burned off what was left of my tires... It might be time for a new set....

Mine actually did, and I would spin the tire off it too.. My car was insanely quick for a v6. but I'll stick with my replacement motor..... apparently is strikes fear in people, just hearing it idle now.

Yeah, look at the pic above your post lol. I'm not nice to mine either.

.......and, I talked to my friend at the JY and he says I can get the Windstar heads and intakes for about $200 so if I ever get my freakin W2 back and if I have enough left over after getting a plate on my car, that's the next thing to happen so I will have an even quicker little 6er here soon. Or maybe not. I do need tires. Argh delimnas...

Depending how quickly you can budget the new tires after the Windstar intake, I would go the intake route first. No telling how much tread you'd end up taking off of a new set of tires after that one ;-)

The biggest part is, you're having fun w/the car & I seriously dig that!
