On the FC?

I knew that much! I was just wondering which Xeven you were talking about. Good luck with that! Hope both of us have better luck as the year progresses!

No, I wasn't talkin about propane injection... I knew that's what Eric thought I was sayin though.
I haven't heard anything about it. So, I have no idea how to set it up, where to get parts, etc...

That's the same as mine, except the rear tires are 275/35/18; I was told that was the max I could go w/out rubbing.
I'll post pics tomorrow (in NoVA section); these tires are fucking huge!

No, I thought you were referring to your new cooking habits you'd have to endure to afford the engine build. I just wanted to know which car you were having rebuilt, since I know you're having problems with both.

The 91, well, both actually, but the 93 is just being troubleshot.

skywalker, you posted earlier that you didnt want anything too "low profile", just checking to make sure you know but the 275/35/18 tires you got on the rear, the 35 series size is extremely low profile, dont know if ive ever seen a tire come in a lower profile than 35 series, so double checkin you to make sure you got what you wanted
