Holy crap!  Talk about a score!!!

...he says now. ;)  C'mon; pamper yourself a little bit with a JWT POP
charger and a used header.  MT-90 and a shifter bushing, maybe?  It
wouldn't hurt to do a full ignition parts replacement, as they're probably
all original.  Don't forget to check the MAF ground, check the TB/EGR for
gunk buildup (few miles; probably not a problem), and flush the brake
system with some good fluid.  Oh, and check the slack on the TB cable.

In three weeks he'll be asking for tips on AD22VF brakes and asking if
it's too late to get in on the Hyperco spring deal...

Yeah, 19 degrees, baby.  91-octane safe, and you get better fuel economy
to boot.  Trust me on this one; I spend a LOT less time (and consequently
money) getting 91o@19* than I did with 87o@15*, and I'm not the only one.

Hey, I resemble that remark. ;)  I'd rather have a '93.5 G20t to play
with, but I'm still three years away from actually /owning/ my B15, so
that's just daydreaming for now.

Congrats, Jason.  I'm genuinely jealous. :)
