You need to put a rally car type roof scoop on it since you won't have A/C... A 1950s style window mounted swamp cooler would be a good thing to have if you will be driving in this kind of heat.

well i wont be driving it in the heat or in bad weather. it wont be my DD anymore. it will however remain street legal so I can still enjoy it on public roads on nice cool days. at the track I dont use my ac every, and windows have to be down. So it will work out fine.

i love how the fuel delivery kit has its own wrench! I understand the concept but its still slightly humorous...and besides...can NEVER have too many auto tools!

And ive actually convinced my wife to buy me the etc for anniversary so hopefully that will change the overall dynamic of the car even tho its a 5 a/t. if it does its job well enough i might be slightly more satisfied with keeping the a/t a lil longer

Canceled my order with K-Tuned for that item. Tim at Hybrid Racing made me a couple deals i couldn't beat and a sponsorship hook up

gonna rip the J's Racing banner off the back of my bumper and apply a new "Hybrid-Racing.com" banner to it ^_^

Plus Hybrid Racing is so freaking close to me. And I'm from Louisiana, they are in Baton Rouge! Like fellow brethren! lol
