Return of the Smurf!
Well, the old lady and I are finally renting a place with a two car garage!
I think you all know what that means! I get to pull the Z out of mothballs (literally) and start tinkering again. No thirdgen fest yet again, but I should be up a running sometime this summer after I fix my electrical issues and deep clean the thing from bumper to bumper.
YAY!

Re: Return of the Smurf!
Well, it is still in a barn in central Illinois until memorial day weekend. I dont know if I could bear to take pictures right now anyways, with all of the racoon prints and all. (Not to mention the mess that the mice made two winters ago)
Pictures prior to becomming a barn car on in my VB garage.
As for the zexel torsen, I am very happy with it. I just wish I had put 3.73 in instead of the 3.42. I get crazy low rpms in 5th gear which is nice, but at the track, I am torn between shifting into 4th at the very end, or redlining it in 3rd.
Bottem line, SLP had a special years back on the zexel for under 100 buck, and for that kind of money I don't think anyone would complain.
