The Formula will be in the garage until February when I get taxes. I'm still going to buy little things now like gaskets and cam so I can atleast get the engine back in the car but the rest is going to wait till tax return time so I can do my T56 swap instead of buying a stall converter just to have a stock tranny and have to resell the converter then anyway. I will also do my Z06 brakes, sportlines then too. Kevin from Socal will be doing my tune on the dyno. I just want to be able to do it right and I think if I piece it together it I might miss something. I am unhappy that I can't drive it till then but on the otherhand I know the outcome will be awesome so, I just wanted to update everybody on the car. I hope to be towards the top of the 08 fastest times list.

I also bought a new daily driver to kinda cure my speed need. It's a 98 Audi A4 Quattro 2.8 5 speed with H&R springs and Bilstein shocks so I will be able to drive it in the snow too which I couldn't/wouldn't ever dream of in the Formula.

Sometimes good things have to wait. God only know that I would love to have completed my 82 but the job change caused me to put everything on hold for a bit. Heck I even got my 67 back from the body shop and I can't even find some time to bolt some finnish parts on that.

Wait and do it right. You'll be much happier in the long run!

not that just I've been thinking about getting into spec racing, and I wont use the Iroc. I would sell the Iroc to buy a better platform. I'm still in the thinking stage.

I want to finish the Iroc but I fear that if I do I won't be able to sell it

i just think with your change of mind all the time, it will be a constant project that is never finished.

I'm gonna take some time off work in july so I can work on the Iroc. If things go close to plans it will be able to run N/A early/mid August, unless I can find a good place to fab up my turbo pips by then.
