Cant wait til spring I need to have my motor broke in before it gets parked again so I can get my body all redone at school. Knowing that I wont be able to drive my car much for a whole 'nother year is whats really dragging me down, BUT it should be pretty badass when it is finally done... Thats the plan at least lol.

After over 3 months of waiting around for the Ito templates to arrive, and then finally getting a refund my motor is together (VERY long story, rather not get into it right now). Not yet running, but its 85% complete. I ended up going with RB for the primary SP templates and then a REALLY cool guy hooked me up with letting me borrow his Ito templates for my secondaries so my engine could get together (thanks Max). So now, all i have left to do is stab the dizzy, install pullies, carb, and drop it and the engine into the car. I will have pics soon!
BTW, the fact that Rich is right is complete BS. I needed to get that off my chest. I'm better now.

Engine has ~70 miles on it and it starts better now than it did. At first it was a real pain to get it to start and idle by itself. Now it will idle by itself most days. Every once in a while it will die when I am slowing down coming to a stop (when clutch gets pushed in). Fires right back up though. This weekend I should have more miles put on it, weather permitting.
Also need to bleed my clutch more, and also have all my wheel bearings in along with new front hub/rotors. After that all gets put in hopefully my alignment can be tweaked a bit more as it still pulls to the right a bit (was told it could me my junk tires, I plan on expermineting ewith them a bit). I will also be able to swap in my LSD when I am doing the rear wheel bearings.
As far as power, my engine definitely has more. It had no problem shooting right up to 85, and thats without opening secondaries and not going over 4K. Im getting really excited about the weather constantly getting better and having more chances to drive it around.
Templates will be in the mail either today or monday. Have fun in Japan!!! Pick me up a shot glass if you remember. Angie (fiance) collects them.
