I think it's 92.5% stock based on weight... As in it's only had about 7.5% of it's weight replaced in parts ;) 8)

Ding ding, we have a W|nnAr :)

Technically, it is 92.5% stock by weight and I'm sticking to that :)

Pictures will be up soon. I figured I would post a log from last nights tuning session :) See next post...

Funny thing is, I know I'm missing some stuff in that list... Like my coilovers, sway etc... ug, going to add those now...
Dude, you just need to keep "BluBallz" business cards in the glove compartment. That way, when someone asks, you whip out a card, and they can read for themself.

lol, people have asked... and I usually just say "built engine, medium turbo, wather/meth injected." Seems to cover most of the points!

The numbers are results. :) Almost anyone could bolt all that crap on, and then blow the engine the first time they crank it over because they forgot to put oil in. :)
