Well, most people on here have seen my car in my sig. They've seen even more if they click the description of it since it's linked to my garage and I've got more pics there. With that said, it's been a rough time trying to get to mess with it due to unemployment... That and finding things that the PO didn't do quite right. Things like the small "subframe" in the rear that the suspension bolts to. He installed polyurethane bushings everywhere, but failed to tighten those bolts tight enough, causing them to loosen on me which made the once round holes become oblong... So, when the 91 gets parted out, I have dibs on that thing 
At any rate, Elkhart's finest roads (:rant
have caused my once nice round rims to develop a nice vibration at any speed... Despite these hurdles I fired it up yesterday and took it for a spin out in the country. That thing can always put a smile on my face that my pickup can't touch. The engine in it is one of the earlier ones without the oiling top end update, so anyone that wants to know what an LQ1 without that oiling update sounds like when it starts and runs for 5 minutes can... Excuse the poor sound and picture, this was taken on my now 3-4 year old cell phone...
Here is a quick 0-80 run with a crappy launch. I was holding my phone against the steering wheel by the horn button, but sadly most of the time you can't even see the needles for the speedo and tach. Also the bumps and me correcting the car made the phone move around a bit and gave the illusion that my dash is wavy when it really isn't.
My car was also the first one on this video from the 2005 60v6 meet. It's also kind of funny because I was running with a bad cat at the time, lol.
