Just because its an import, it doesnt make it rice if you modify it to make it go faster.

Rice to the import crowd, is tastless body work, with flashy paint.

Rice to the domestic crowd, is anything made in Japan.

I never minded a young man tuning up his ride. I had a 1987 Dodge Daytona Shelby Z back in the day. That car was one of my favorite rides I have had. Until a 3/4 ton truck came on my side of the road and slammed into me killing my best friend and almost killing me when I was 18yrs old. Back then in 91' turbos where just coming into the lime light and you didn't touch the turbo because a new one's cost was 1k. lol.

Hey, I'm glad this site is available to allow me to do what I can for upgrades on my S12. Then I can take out the muscle car friends of mine and still get 2x's the gas mileage they do, he he.

Here are the pictures after a second washing. I hit the engine with 2 cans of Gunk and then some simple green. Now I have to take care of the rust under the hood.

Sorry about the dark pictures. But figured I'd let you guys see what she looked like cleaned up a bit.

O, yeah. I don't know how I didn't see the "1" for 100k, but did!

So the car has `104k on her.

I'll take some picture today if it ever stop raining.

Thanks very much !!
