Yes.

I have always had a soft spot for the Third Gens. I do tend to lurk here from time to time just to see whats new..

Probably will be more since the buddy that sold me the Formula that I highlighted here has a Son that I have agreed to help build his third gen TA.

Cheers!

Thats one hell of a sleeper.

Anything special with the engine besides the swap and bolt-ons? Even if it were a stock engine that would make that car extremely fun.
