As I promised, I bought the car March 2013 with only 13 miles on the odometer and have now put well over 22,000 on it. It has been a long and hard trip but the results have been well worth it.
Finished up paperwork and picking my kid up for the first time.
Day One: So shiny and new and look at those miles!
Over time, my love for the car grew and grew and has grown so much that I need to build the motor now.
Here is a list of modifications that have been done. Sorry, I do not have dates of when I did most of these but I am rather pleased with all the results.

Awaiting install
*Killer B Motorsport oil pickup and baffle
*Competition Clutch Stage 2 Clutch setup
The reasoning why I am replacing the clutch is rather long so I will make it short.
I left my car in the hands of a "so-called friend" for 9 weeks while I was on TDY going to school for a new job in the military from mid July to the end of September. I have only been home 8 days and come to find out my clutch is slipping badly and is in need of a new one now. So parts arrived October 3rd, 2014 and I am taking the car to Spec Ops in Fayetteville, NC to get installed no later than this coming Thursday.
Once the new clutch has been put in, I will begin my 750 mile break-in period hopefully before I begin to move to Louisiana by the 20th of this month. But here are a few photos from the build.
Mind you, I installed everything minus a few things that I cannot and do not want to attempt on my own.
The picture above was the first time at the drag strip.
This is all the updates I have for now.
One last update, I am in the process of moving to Fort Polk, Louisiana in a few weeks so everything will be on hold until I get settled in over there.
Stay tuned for my future build list.
