Damn looks like we are live again! Been so busy, i won't have time to pull her out, probably going to do it sometime in April.

This summer is going to be great. The pothole thing, i usually report them as well, but as saaboteur mentioned, haven't had the time

I had a terrible summer Vince. Took the car to Calgary to a tournament, car got dusty and i was in a rush so I went to a quick touchless car wash, and the garage door came down on my car while i was exiting through the dryer. So as I'm fighting with esso to get them to cover the costs, (not much damage just some scratches on the spoiler)I was still driving the car. Went back to calgary for the UFC and was on my way to subway with a buddy. Sitting at a red light a rubicon just nails me doing like 40k. So the car had to wait a month before it got into the body shop. And to top it off I blew an intake valve about a block away from my house on the drive home from calgary. 8000$ in damages later and she has a fresh rear end, no frame damage luckily.
Which brings me to where I am now with the car. Doing the heads for sure, have enough money saved up to do the stroker if the bottom end is hurt. My neighbor luckily enough works at prostock so hes going to help me tear down and build the block for free teaching me along the way. (Neighbor of the year award!) But in reality the engine has 170k on it so a full rebuild and a 2.4L stroker isn't out of the question . Oh and whats the smallest pulley SOS makes . I'm gearing for 400+hp, and lots of torque if I get the stroker. Speaking of which where did you buy that crank tool again, or might I be able to buy/borrow yours if you no longer have use for it?

awwwwwwww sorry man, been contemplating back and forth about going to a single on the ap1 rear bumper to appeal my sense of style. But don't worry I think you'll love the exhaust as much as I do.

Went to try yesterday, but battery dead somehow... 1st winter where it has completely died, even with bi weekly starts.

Going back tonight with jumpers and then for a cruise.

Plans on a replacement vehicle? Stepping up to something faster/more powerful or maybe just getting a family vehicle?
