Got the valves adjusted, and had a brake issue so I swapped to a better BBK. Turns out the issue was the ABS module, but, this is the kit I should have gone with, so I have no regrets.

I did a photoshoot for an upcoming feature on another site (nothing too fancy, but don't want to give it away.) These are supposed to be only for that, but fuck it, I'm happy with them and wanted to share.

I love this car so much I literally can't even.

Some become companions and are harder to let go than others.
When I start to build a relationship with a vehicle, it's time to let it go. :plac:

With all the move/house shit it went to back burner. It starts and runs like shit in mississippi. Will have to get back on that and go pick it up.

Thanks man, I'm definitely feeling good about autocrossing it.

I won't ever be with the fast people, but it will hold it's own.
