Manual windows , Manual locks with CS2 I love it.
I recognized some of my parts on there.
Thanks Brian. It is a bit of an oddity but I like it too, less weight and less to break. There are more than a few of your parts on this car :wink: .

Had the car out about two weeks ago. Made a short video of me starting it cold and a quick walk around to give you guys an idea of what it looks and sounds like. Hope you like :D . I will be changing the exhaust in the spring to the new RJC 3in cross flow system. The ATR pit bull system is not great for long drives.

Haha thanks :D . That's what I said when I had my first ride in a GN. Be patient man, the right one will come along. Now is the time to buy, but unfortunately that means we all loose are asses when it comes time to sell.

Thanks man. I'm running a new billet wheel Precision 6262E journal bearing. WIth my 3200 converter it spools just like a stock turbo. It blows off the street tires from a 40mph roll. I was plagued by trans issues last year so I didn't get a chance to run it. I'm going to pick up some MT ET streets 255/60/15 for my T wheels this spring so it will be ready for the track. The motor went 10.80@124 on 20psi and alky in an 86 WH1 with slicks and a spool. I currently don't have alky so I'm hoping for high 11's on just pump gas and 18-19psi. With alky and more boost it's got the hardware for high 10's.

Oh yes. The other thing is the external waste gate under the car is vented to atmosphere. When it opens it will scare the hell out of the person next to you. Very fun in tunnels :D .

I like the color, I bet it looks really nice in the direct sunlight, and probably gets up quick with that 4.1 block.
