<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=4>I'm in Ottawa area...to be more precise in Petawawa. It's a Military base. But some s**te has come up and I might have to put the project on hold. Here's the scoop...the engine is stored in one of my buddies garage ti'll tomorow...so I thought. Anyway, to make a long story short, the guy that I bought the engine thru owes the guy with the garage some money so he doesn't want to give me MY engine back...but what he doesn't seem to understand is that it's my engine and I F#$%^#@ paid for it and I got the receit to prove it to...so tonight I'm going down there with a bunch of my buddies from base and we are getting my engine. Because I want to have this instaled and running perfect by Monday. </FONT></P>

<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hey bro, I got your back.....in Ohio.....Yeah well....i dunno.</FONT></P>


<FONT face=Arial>Anyway, yeah that dude's just acting stupid. If the guy who owes money doesn't pay the garage dude....he's got no right to take it out on you. But you gotta worry about MP, right?2 of my buddies just got outta the Marines, one was stationed somewhere in Cali, the other in like Tennesee or somethin. My Buddy in Tennesee says the MP's were jerk offs. They'd f*** with him when him and his buddies got in trouble....not good times. I dunno dude, hope everything works out for ya. You gotta show your ride when it's done. </FONT></P>

<FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" color=blue size=4>Well for now I'm only working on performance and making sure that it gets tweeked the best it can. After that I'll start working on cosmetics. The car's a 93 and driving it in Northern Canada doesn't help...I'm starting to see some rust along side the driver side plastic guard and one tinny spot under the hatch door. It's forest green so the it's realy hard to see the rust that's why I'm gonna get a paint job in the year to come or next....like I said, my money is going in the engine and performance area first and as soon as I'm satisfied....Paint job. I'll probably make some smoke shows to test...stuff ;OP I'll take some pics of that. Anyway....</FONT></P>

Check out the JDM '99 model spoiler. It's hard to describe what it looks like, but if i had to say, it kinda looks like the new Evo spoiler....just cooler. Looks real sweet. What color are you gonna get your car painted?

Oh yeah....almost like the Altered Atmosphere 3000GT. Very sweet looking car, withtwo 20g turbos. However, i'm not sure how it would look with the pop-up headlights. The AA car has the newest style lights with the black housing, and it really looks aggressive, but i dunno. I still think the colors cool<IMG src=smileys/smiley20.gif border="0">.

Nicewheels, i think the black spoiler would look better than body color. kinda like the mustangs(Mach1 i think)<FONT color=black>. Those headlights are also on the later year Stealth's also.</FONT>
