This brings a tear to my eye ... if you guys had any idea how much of a struggle my car has been over the years. That car first went off to Michael Gurgainers in June of '97, just before I left for my honeymoon. He turned out to be a bum, so it then went to Ron Foreman. Ron turned out to be slightly less of a bum, but a bum none-the-less. Then it sat on jackstands for a couple years, I got divorced, and it went to DaVinci in Belleville. Since then, Chris Green at Checkpoint (now Autonomic) built my motor - a B-REW with extra dowels by Pettit and a nice sized streetport. Motor was shipped to DaVinci, and now I'm in Ron's capable hands.

Seeing this, literally does bring a tear to my eye. Lots more pictures to come.

Looks like a T04s comp housing, soooo 60-1 or 62-1 or even GT35? Looks like a 1.00 A/R turbine. Definately a REW swap.... And LOTZA negitive camber judging by were your strut pivot is located. KOYO rad. Beautiful..

I plan on backing up the claim in my signature ...

It's been a LONG LONG time, but yes, it has a heart now. And short of a 20B, it's about as strong a heart as it could get. That turbo is a custom jobby that DaVinci is calling their AF22. They have one running prototype, that from what they say, spools like a 60-1 HiFi but flows enough for 500+ hp. We shall see! One thing is for sure, we're not cutting any corners. You name it, it's been taken care of.

Is that the same car that had the WOLF EMS? I remember reading the horror stories back when you first got the car, man that was a long time ago! Where did you get the motor built at? Are you still running the Yellow Corbeau seats?
