Nothing to hear, really. Popped headgaskets after a quarter-million miles, said "**** it, car is just gonna be a 4EAT daily driver since the chassis is stretched out like T-Will's mom and the body looks like it's been through a combination of sandblasting and Krylon fanatics." Car's getting a low-mile Japanese longblock (OMG JDM TiTEeeeeeee bOyeeeee!) that's got all new seals, HG's, etc, etc, that should theoretically run fine for another 100,000+ miles.
I've got another turbo beater in the wings, and the STi above will be filling the primary garage spot as the fast car in a few month's time, so ther'es no point in trying to swap the old girl, she's jsut too tired after years and years and years of my abuse. Better to run it aorund daily and use it like a truck (albeit one with dope suspension and brakes and rims and lights and seats and stereo and ****.)
Kapish?

Car will get dewinged, lowered, lipped, and diffusered, as well as my normal collection of wheels. Gonna keep it subtle, it's fast enough already and I like the area under the curve with a smaller turbo.

She's whispering to me.
She keeps telling me she wants a happy ending
Until then, she slumbers...with a dead blue-top to boot. Any ideas on bringing one back? It won't take a charge from my 10amp auto-charger (after 5 days, still pegged at 6 volts), I'm letting it sit on 2amp drip for now. Are Optimas **** now after the Interstate buyout, or are they still good? Anyone able to get a decent deal on them? I need a 4-terminal (2 post, 2 stud)model for all my crap, but my leads are extended, so anything with a left-side positive will work.
It'll run when I jump it, but won't start again. I know it takes forever to bring one of these back, maybe it just needs a bigger charger?

Haha, i'll jsut jump it with the tow truck if it comes to that, but I don't want to send it to Paul with a dead batt. I found a place online selling bluetops for $137 with free shipping, which seems too good to be true, but who knows.
