Yep, it’s been over 3 years. It was October 31st that I made THIS POST & THREAD (link) about what I planned to do to my car over the winter.

Since I just clocked about 40k on my motor (15k on my turbos) I’ve decided to do my 60k maintenance and some other items while I’ve got the time this winter. I’ve had the car for 4 years now and taking into account how hard I drive the car, I want to do the timing belt just in case it decides to snap and take my motor with it.

Silly decision in retrospect but I can’t take it back, lol.
After loosing my focus on the car for about a year and a few more years of the car sitting idle, it’s finally back on the road!
The car pulls hard and drives like it’s brand new. Went to the track and ran a 12.72 @ 113.62 (time slip link) and it’s got a lot more in it… if I can ever get that launch right, lol. The next step is to finally get it on a dyno (haven’t done it since the car was stock) and get it tuned for a bit more boost
I’d like to thank RacerX for the timing belt, 60k items & clutch job :tup:
