Since it was pretty dry and in the 50s yesterday I decided that I should run the SVT since its been a few weeks. I got the battery charger going before leaving for work. It fired right up and ran nicely. It likes to moose when its cold so i will need a new iac in the spring. I also pulled the KDWs off and threw the E0s I have on the car.

this past weekend was pretty busy. The weekned started off with getting the SeVT-T to an emissions test. I had fears that it wouldn't pass because of letters that the state had sent out.
