I’ll be at Monticello in the silver Subaru Legacy. I believe JClark will also be driving my car in the instructor run group, unfortunately. Feel free to stop if you see me and say hello. If it looks like I’m moving faster than normal for a fat person, I may actually be busy so I’m sorry in advance if I kinda brush you off. ---

so the car runs on a spray of starter fluid, but we (my dad and i, a lot of my posts will probably say “we” lol) flushed the gas tank out (nasty/rusty gas, smelled horrible), and the fuel pump isn’t working… but it turned over with ease! i can’t wait to start driving it around! oh and im hoping to meet anyone going to monticello tomorrow, i’ll have my new camera with me snapping some pictures for my dad and anyone else as well. ---

havent been on in a while! i was sick with strep for monticello, and i’ve been busy with school/soccer/college apps and whatnot (oh, and my team is #1 in the state, lets go ICC!!!)… but i was lucky enough to get a ride around lime rock with bruce in his bimmer yesterday! sooo much fun; i wanna get mine ready to go! bruce can create some serious g-forces with that thing!! haha anyways, my dad and i dropped the gas tank, and found some rusty fuel lines (oh yeah the fuel pump/EVERYTHING was rusty, so we got a new tank and pump, and hopefully we’ll get her running this weekend). ---

Sorry it’s been so long, but I found a sweet forum app for my iPhone in band haha my dad helped me drop the rear end and fully restore it. We got new tires and re painted the crappy bottlecaps. I’ll find a better picture of the rear end now ---

Here’s the kind of work we do best! And one of the pictures hints to my dads sweet idea for next summer (2012). 6g72tt swap from a vr4 and keep it rwd! The only thong we aren’t sure about is if it’ll be too wide. But these motors are dirt cheap compared to a friggin 2jz ---

Some companies manufacture black rotors which are actually very cool, especially when it goes with the car. I’m presuming he went with those. ---

that was my dad’s doing haha i sand blasted them… he thinks that once we wear through the paint, the just the edges of the rotors will be covered = less rust? ---

thats how UUC sells their designer rotors…I would use some old pads to rub the paint off with and then switch to whatever pads you plan on using. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-bmw-track-street-project/254597.md?page=1)
