Well the old 2g is up, runing, and for all intents and purposes legal to drive again. ;)
It was out of commision for over a year now due to sean porting the head, me severly spraining my thumb in a car accident (damn air bags if it wasn't for them I would have walked a way with out a scratch), the brakes siezing up from sitting so long and the general coldness of winter. A new master cylender, new rear caliper, and a new battery and it fired right up. Its running pretty well I need to make some adjustments to the carbs but that was to be expected due to the head work.
For those who don't remember I sent my head out to sean to get a little port work done to it last spring I beleve (or was it the spring before that I don't remember its been so long). He managed to something like double the flow of the head and my manifold was ported to match as well. Were hoping to see a nice power increase in the upper rpms but its missing when it gets up to 5k so I'm going to have to do some tuning before we see the final results.
I should be getting down to the track some time in the semi near future so I hope to have some numbers soon. I'll like to see the car close to the 14's if not in them. I have hope that I'll be able to make that goal with the car tuned right and some decent tires. The bald michilin weatherwise sport tires that came with my junkyard rims are not exactly the stickiest tires out there. I've also invested in a gtech which should let me get some reasonably accurate numbers to post once I get the car weighed.
any way thats all the updates for now
