Some of us are getting togather for cars and coffee this weekend it is open to the public and not full of ricers. You are welcome to meet us there John Richard. Just look for the cars with the SARX stickers. I am sure more then a few of us have stock springs laying around and can sell you a set cheap.

Well the verdict is in...my motor has been confirmed DEAD. It has no compression on the front rotor. Now the search begins for a motor.

So just ordered a full Lip kit set (front air dam, flares, ect..) hopefully it gets here by the end of the week to install. It comes with a spoiler and fog lights I dont need so if anyone wants i may be selling those items.

Hey would love to join you all this weekend as well if everything goes good. Any of you all going to the SA raceway on the 30th btw?

Are any of the locals available here soon to install a motor? I already found a motor that I will be purchasing. I just would like to see if any of the guys who have installed the motor before if they would be willing to help out. I am willing to pay money, etc.

Thanks,
Justin
