It’s got alot of sawdust on it, but hopefully I can finish up the wrenching and give it a wash and wax this weekend. ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/DSC02715.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/DSC02715.JPG) I think it will actually get it’s wheels back on the ground this weekend! Completed: Brembo Rotors, Hawk Pads, ATE Blue fluid, Hotchkis 35mm front sway, Hotchkis 22mm rear sway, Jeg’s adjustable panhard, Eibach springs, KYB AGX adjustables, new GM front bearing hubs, redline tranny fluid in the PS, fresh fluids, Hotchkis Strut tower bar, Loudmouth Cat Back, Yokohama’s, Needs done tonight: SLP fan switch/180 thermostat, tranny fluid, frame connectors, door hinges Not F stock anymore . . . I’ll probably be only going to Beaver Run’s Low Key autocrosses this year, so I decided to set up the car with a few more goodies. ---

Haha nice wheel color. You should still take it to some of the NHSCC events (especially the school this weekend if the car is ready). With the low key events up to $35 on weekdays, going to NHSCC is actually cheaper and you get better courses (read: not quite as tight). Plus with those mods your car only jumped up to STU which locally there will be a GTO and a EVO in this year so your car would be right at home. ---
