That's an awesome hot dog cooker.
Dave- I tried talking to Jerry today, but nobody answered the door. I want to buy the FC off of him. I have a motor that I can drop into it. If you can, can you give him a shout for me?

I told him last week that you were talking about buying it back. I thought you would have been over there by now. You can drop the cash or check off with me if they are not there. You can take the car whenever you want. I'll let him know today that you are coming to get it.

Got tied up this evening. Just tell him that it is sold, I can have the money to him or you by Friday evening, or early Saturday morning.
I just need to somehow TOW the other car from where it is sitting, and I have no trailer hookup on my pick up truck, and I thought I did. ****!
Anyone can help, that would be great.

So making progress on the turbo install. Today I got the manifold on, downpipe on, wastegate on just waiting on a gasket which arrives tomorrow and then just plop on the turbo and attach some lines 
Also Dave, I picked up those bolts you were talking about to replace the top studs into the block, I got some nice 10 weight jams.
Pictures maybe later if I'm sober.

Bolts were gotten at this auto parts shop in Bowie.
I'm deaf now after starting and running the car without any cat on and just a downpipe exhaust :\ That ******* downpipe is so fucked when it comes to alignment I swear my car was like 8" from lining up with my exhaust. At least it's quasi drivable if you don't wanna hear so I should be able to make it to Rays.

Picking up the S5 tonight. Decided to call a tow truck and have it hauled to my house for a few days. Hopefully weather is not too shitty, so I can start ripping everything out. Yay!!

Looks good Jon! I like the single with the SMIC. You need an air filter but i dont need to tell you that. Yes you are right on the money that is dirty. Your going to have a fun summer if you don't kill yourself.
BTW you should lose the Gotham sticker.

But yeah, it needs a bath, cleaning and some non crap foam filter contraption.

You need to learn to read between the lines. That translated to, "I have not bought an air filter yet so shut up bitch"
If they were for pussies though I would not have one, you would.

Pulling parts off a wrecked is so much fun!!!
I wanted to see if would start up today, but the rad fan shroud and rad fan are completely useless now, so no starting for that motor until it is pulled out and dropped. Unless there is a way I can start it up without having it in a car? I need to find out.
Pulled the bumper, headlight assemblies, and the front end is completely screwed. And I really hope they did not try to start up the car. And broke the damned map sensor. D'oh!

I ran the dyno comparo sheet on Wargasms web site of a handful of t78's with street ported motors against two T67 turbos with street ported motors. He should be in the neighborhood of 400 hp at 15psi. Even with the stock motor it should be pretty sweet.
This link sometimes acts funny so you might have to refresh it to get it to graph correctly.

Whose car is on the top of that comparo, with a low compression motor I might add.
