StreetSweeper
If you don't no, after the Drag challane, my car got a new clutch do to a defective one, then got dyno tuned. I went to the track after making awsome power on the dyno and blew the stock tranny after running 2 back to back 11.2 passes. I ordered a jacks transmision got it fixed and started having coolent issues, tore the head off poped a gasket. Saved up some money got a new gasket, then was still pushing coolant. Tore the head off again, and found a crack in the cylinder wall. After a little research i found that mitsu had a group of blocks with bad castings. So i am now rebuilding the motor, and by the weekand it should be running again. Hope to get back to the track soon and run some 10 second numbers!

I really like that look. Your engine bay is one of the best I've seen in person.

Did the rest of you notice he is using all four studs to hold the turbo to the exhaust manifold? They say it cuts down on having to retorque the ex/man bolts all the time. Good tip!

I've had good luck with using four studs as well.
