All good... Took my teksid block apart last night. Got my ARP2000 head studs in the other day (good god they are expensive), sending the block off to get machine work sometime this week and then ordering my forged rods and pistons... Block will come together soon, then the turbo system goes on the car. Might be down a little longer than I initially thought though. I thought I might be able to get it up and running by the end of March. However, I think I'm going to go ahead and put in a viper or magnum spec t56 so it will be down until probably mid april.

I let ctgreddy drive mine, Only because he does all the work to my car. Before the blower I let two girls try and drive it.. they didn't get very far. I let my father drive it once when the clutch needed to be broken in. I said, "don't floor it because I don't have 500 miles on the clutch yet". He didn't listen and hasn't drove it since. Now that I have all this money into it ct will be the only person i'll trust to drive it besides myself.

i taught my ex gf how to drive stick when my 95 had the 331 in it, took her about half an hour and she was actually a REALLY good driver, other than that the only other person i trust on a regular basis was my mom, i let my dad take the 95 out ONCE so i could hear the exhaust from the outside. i told him to roll into 2nd, mat it, then hit 3 when he went by. idk what happened (prolly wasnt used to the short throttle) but when he hit 2nd it blew sideways right next to me (sounded AWESOME though 
)
other than that, maybe the occasional friend that as a built car, but its always a swap, one of us will follow the other in their car

Nobody!!! :Let my buddy drive it once - before most of my work was done to it and he was pulled over in a matter of 3 minutes maybe, haha. His fault, but still. Since then and with all the work I've done, no one drives it now.

My brother so he can drive it somewhere if I'm at work (like the audio shop)! He has only driven it 4 or 5 times. I taught my wife to drive it, in case some kind of emergency would come up! Other than that, Only Me!

My dad drove it to work to show it off when I first got it. I also let my brother-in-law take it out for a spin. I trust both with it so it's no big deal. The girl is afraid to drive it, but loves to drive in it haha.
