Yea I figured that was a typo. I was just pokin fun. I know just enough to keep my cars on the road.

 

Speaking of car on the road. I buttoned up the front side of my engine today. Waiting on part number from PFS to order a new turbine housing. I'm ordering new fuel lines tomorrow. I didn't want to do braided lines again this time. So I am going with push-loc fittings and lines from Jegs. Inching a little closer everyday now.

 

BTW Thanks Ray for the bracket and the saucey F-con. The box got here today.

 

That is NICE dave. Can't wait to see it when it's done.

 

^^Thank you. She is gettin there.

 

sexy motor fool - when you comin to get the lift g?

 

Maybe tomorrow? I am busy today but they are calling for "winter weather" tonight and tomorrow. We'll see what happens.

 

Dave that motor looks amazing!

And yep some more thanks to Ray for some awesome tunning and just all around help with my car.

He made a descent 310 hp and finaly a tune where i can hit 8 grand! its aweosome!

Yesterday I got my tokico lumina struts put in...... They are also great!

So i think a hooters meet is in order soon. What does everyone think?

 

Glad to hear your able to finally peg the engine Josh. I'm down for HOOTERS next weekend. Whatever is good for everyone else.

 

Looks good Dave. I get a ride when I come there in the summer!

Anyone buy my folks' old house yet?

 

Sunday would work for me...

 

Sunday is fine with me too. Say noonish?

 

yeah sounds good.... ill make sure we get shreks exhaust on before we then haha

 

310? I won't be racing you anytime soon. My old engine would rev to 8k easily, but it only had one good rotor. I've never taken this one past 7. I should be able to do Hooters Sunday.

 

I agree with 310 horses being some good ****. I also agree on getting my exhaust installed ASAP.

I am also going to have to replace my starter while I'm at it. It decided to die. It seems as though power is getting through to the starter. I can hear the solenoids opening when I try to crank. I could only get the starter to engage for less than a second. I tried jumping it and it is a new battery. 2 weeks.

Do you all agree with my logic? I have a haynes manual and will tackle this project tommorrow with a starter from one of the local auto shops. (If they have one.)

 

I am in on the Hooter's meet as well, unless I get overtime. It's going to have to be in my GTI though, unless Josh is driving.

 

hahaha sooner than you think.... its good that your taking your time with it... build it to perfection

 

Thanks man lol idk if im gonna be able to drive you or not because Ashley might wanna go so we'll have to see. but as far as the exhaust how about friday after work at my house?

 

I got my car started. Turns out that when I fixed my battery ground I messed up the starter ground.

I found this out after I removed, tested, and reinstalled the starter. I did it all in less than 2 hours though. I beat the sun! 3:50-5:50

 

I went by a local shop today to get a quote to install my Corksport full exhaust ( header back ) The shop owner told me that the exhaust manifold studs WOULD snap and quoted me 4 hours at $80 an hour ($320 for those that don't want to do the math). Not a good first impression for Maryland mechanics.

I will attempt the exhaust install tommorrow in twin7r1's garage. Wish me luck!

 

Squirt them with a good penetrating oil and let it sit overnight. They might come out.

 

yeah he's already had pb blaster working on it haha

so are you coming out to HOOTERS this sunday?

 

Yep.

 

Where was everyone?

 

Man I had so much unexpected stuff little minor emergencys that came up at the last minute. Im sorry for being a deuche bag everyone

I had cleaned the car and everything for the sunday meet! damnit!
