    The motor was finally done in by it's last track day at RA In 2011, and she sat covered in the driveway like a sad retired warrior.

    It turned out to be a big chunk off of Cyl2 ringland and a couple valves were bad. I finally got around to a rebuild, it was tuned a week ago and now I'm remembering why I loved this car so much, it's just so much fun to throw around!

    New stuff includes CP pistons, HTA68 turbo, Grimmspeed TMIC, Walbro pump, Deatchwerks 850s, Invidia Q300 (I already had the Invidia CDP), heads checked/ valve job, Killer B pan/pickup, motor and trans mounts and a ton of little things (hoses etc) because the car is, well, old.

    Siegel diagnosed a bad MAF sensor before taking it to 308/329 on Forged's dyno which is 50+ over it's last time on that dyno (stage 2-ish with stock turbo). The car feels great and I'm loving the extra pull up top.
