spent 9 hours working yesterday. new exhaust, new timing belt, new water pump, cam seals, crank seals and style bar installed. the exhaust sounds so mean... it's almost false advertising.

the wheels are 7 inches wide. my bad!

In absolute terms, the 1997 M should outrun a stock minivan in 0-60 and in the quarter, but it's a driver's race since the M is less than 4/10 second faster than the fastest minivans.

...and weighs about 4500 lbs-- well, ours is about that.


I would rather drive your M than the Odyssey on a daily basis, though.
