You know how many times I've heard that? I am amazed at all the bad leading coils. I'm going to pick up my engine next Friday. Finally.

 

We had a gorgeous day in St. Louie today. I heard it was cold there today?

Anyhow, I will be back out there to visit in May or June Dave, so have the cold beers ready.

 

It was friggin freezin.

 

Well the high was 60 yesterday, it's now 32 but feels like 22 with the wind. It's freezing! I don't even want to go outside and smoke a ciggarette.

 

cool man hopfully i can get that in and tuned soon and we can all have awesome cars

 

water injection and a new cat back will be the first things I try to get after talkin to Dave. The wife hasn't sold the car yet, so I'm not goin down without a fight! See you guys at a hang when it warms up.

 

Well that's good news Brian. Your car is plenty fast as it is. What short shifter do you have?

So Josh, What's shitty power?

Dave, are you saying the bad leading coil explanation is just a bs explanation?

 

well not shitty just not what i wanted. After 6k the spark compleetly broke up so the peak hp was 270 @ 6k and 10 lbs. After I get a new leading coil Ray said i should be able to get the boost to more like 12 or 13 and then also to be able to take it to redline making a good deal more power.... he expects low 300s

 

Not bullshit just that is surpisingly a common problem I hear a lot of lately.

 

so when is this going in?

 

I haven't seen an email saying the order has shipped, but everything else I've ordered from Gotham has arrived in a couple of days. If it's here by the end of the week it will be going in Saturday!

 

I need an engine crane. I figured I would ask if someone somewhat local could loan me one before I go out and buy one. I have borrowed and or rented them in the past but thats's getting to be unrealistic for me. I need one of my own but I would prefer not to have to buy one right now. Can anyone hook me up for the time being. I only need it for one day. I can pick up and return.

 

Dave- I got a buddy you can borrow one from I am sure. He lives right on Hawthorne by mcdonough HS. I will ask him later on this evening about it and let you know. It's a NICE crane, pulled the motor outta that 89 with no problem.

I don't think he will have a problem with it either. Trust me! I had the ****** for like 7 months. LOL

 

I have one Dave, and a money tranny jack

 

Thanks Justin but it sounds like Jon has me covered.

I won't need that trans jack but I'll call you for the cherry picker Jon. You da man.

 

aight let me know when you'll be up to grab it.

 

Jon you got a new one?
I thought you were running a shop out of your house with mine-lol

 

lol - you took yours back. then i got another car and i needed one so i splurged :\

 

I've been meaning to splurge on one too. I have a boat engine that needs to come out.
I splurged on this instead.

 

NO problem Dave.

 

That looks good man! I've still got to get the pics up of my install... but first, I have to get my car home bc its snowing again!

PEACE

 

hey here are some crappy pics of the ic installed at pfs

 

Looks like you did a good job trimming the bumper Josh.

 

Yea, your IC looks like it fits really well. Now if we could just get rid of those stupid MD front license plates.

 

My wife said something tonight about it being stupid and pointless to make your car go faster. I decided not to take that lying down so I got out of bed and went out to the garage and pulled the old cat off. The weight of the stock cat is 26 pounds. My new Random Technology cat weighs 9. I'm hoping to get new gaskets somewhere tomorrow since it didn't come with them.
