Just looked them up... the M3 was only a 335hp I6 back then. Not as fast as I thought they were. That doesn't sound as fast as I remember...

Could very well mean that. Evap code? Hmmm... I'm not sure on that one. The only Evap thing that I can think of is the hose that connects to the TB. I'm pretty sure that is an Evap... its Fuel related for sure.

Muhahahaha...

Just drove 110 miles from Dayton, OH to Findlay, OH.

Average MPG, you might ask?







51mpg... going the speed limit, other than when I paced a 2010 Ford Mustang 427R at 80mph for 20 miles.

Got a pretty good parts list of upgrades and maintenance items that I'll be buying over the next 6 months or so. Car should REALLY move out next year. AND handle some turns.

Yeah... Larue is where I went. Its down by Marion. Pretty much straight down 37. Its a shithole of a track.

Just about finalized my parts list that I'll be ordering from over the next 6-8 months. Hoping to start ordering in the next month or so.

EDIT: Parts in RED have been bought. Not necessarily that brand... but that part.

Should make for a fun little car next year. I'm also looking at getting TC Wheels and TC Red/Black Seats. Those are possibilities... if I come across a good deal.
