Very nice. Appreciate the detail on your ride. 19 years is quite a love affair. It shows. Welcome to the Fix!
 
Thanks

I am very lucky my wife and kids enjoy the car also, makes it a bit easier to spend money on it, with out to much grief.
Here is what it looked like before it was boosted. With the original 14 inch ET rims.
289 with a 100 shot.

Very nice looking fastback. That is the color I would like if I ever get to add a fastback to my stable.

No noise that i could here. Works like a charm, and now with the new tires i just picked up (285/35/18) Nitto 555r, should put it threw it paces.
 
Well the weather was nice today and i took the car for a little shake down run.
I'm am very happy with how it turned out, 10lb boost and blisters the tires in any gear. Time to get the new Nitto on.
