I had some work to do down on the water.

Man I just got myself involved in a large job in upper mayberry. I might have to cancel my 25th tune session to get this job complete on time.my car is about 98% done. I started on the brake lines last night. Just have to wrap that up, drop my battery back in and do all the fluids. I can't believe its been over a year since I last pulled her out of the garage. My neighbors prolly thought I sold it. Can't wait to let the neighborhood know old' trouble is back.

I'm hoping to get it all done in time Jon. I'm going to really try to work it out. I need to get some miles on it before I get up to Ray though and I am working through the weekend.
You gotta see my brake system, it's to cool.

Yes that is awesome. I haven't had time to drive it yet. I hope to finish bleeding the brakes and burping the coolant tonight. Now I need a cage and some alchy injection.

I bled the brakes today and got the coolant all topped off. She runs nice. Needs some fine tuning of the idle as to be expected. It's got a slight stumble that comes and goes. Ray can iron that out. I have to plumb in my boost gauge and boost controller and re-install the wheel well liners and that is it. So far I have about 6 miles on the engine. To my dads and back and around the neighborhood one time with Nathan.
The six puck race disk is a touchy ****. I had some hurt in a new GTO try to rev me at the four way. Can't wait to lay the smack down on some candy asses who think they got something for me.

Thanks again homey. I would not have caught those two unplugged connectors to save my life. Your the man. Dinner was my pleasure. BTW thanks for letting me drive the Z. Shes a sleeper.
Ol' Jerry helped me bleed the brake out the rest today. Stops on a dime. Tomorrow I am going to cap those coolant pipes and install a new fuel filter. Whats up with BBQ Saturday night?

Idle adjustments on a second gen? Now you're really pushing it.

Sorry Roy, I don't mind having a go at it but I have no experience with the FC's.

My car on the other hand drives like a wet dream. I put 50 miles on her eariler this evening before I head up to pfs tomorrow morning. She is fast even without boost. Forgot how much attention the car gets too.

BTW, you should have seen all the salty ones revvin at me today. I guess there was some Mustang meet at Budds creek. I must of passed at least ten hooked up "bad ponies" on the way down there. On the way back I swear I was revved at by Fitzgerald or some other donkey with a SuperSuck.
