It feels SOOO GOOOD to be driving my car again. The motor was a pain, (believe it sat for several years) and had crazy low compression when we just rolled it over, but we got it to start, ran fine, test drove it, re-tested and all cylinders were above 210lbs, so I think it'll be okay.

I now feel confident doing about anything motor wise on a duratec, so if anyone else has the problem I'll help!

I know for sure I'll be racing GVSU but not sure what plans are for following weekend.
I will not make 7/2 auto x as that is date my dad gets home from trip / I be showing him his car all done and such.. but I currently plan on driving to kzoo later that afternoon. I can prolly talk lady friend into coming up for the day to auto-x.. however she is dog sitting that weekend and would need to let dogs out and such at some point.... so we'll see what happens.
