First things first:
Hey from the bluegrass state Y'all!
I thought I'd give a brief overview of my car for you guys
It started life as a wreck, which I purchased from a salvage yard for a ridiculously low price, and had some good old boys pound the body work back into shape.
After about a weeks work, she was ready to go, and the Modding began!!
The first big problem was this nasty thing in the center console:
So I replaced it with a 5 speed, and put in a TRD limited slip differential! I couldn't stand not having a 3rd pedal! I also Put in a lightweight flywheel and upgraded clutch.
I found a nice set of wheels to replace my Steelies at a local performance shop. Then I replaced the worn out 100k suspension, brakes and swaybars replaced, and she runs like a dream! It's fun to outrun rx8's on the KY backroads in a wagon, the look on their face is always priceless
I'm currently running an intake/header/exhaust/pulley setup...but I am on the hunt for the injectors I need so I can install these bad boys:

Let me know what you think!
I know the xb isn't everybody's favorite car, but...well..Insurance is insanely cheap, I can carry a ton of stuff, and it can handle 12psi (roughly 320whp) on the stock block
(I know its "wrong wheel drive", but here in Kentucky...when we get our yearly ice storm, I love waving as I pass all the rwd cars that can't even leave their driveway)
Oh, and of course..."go fast stickers"
