Arrow Sad News.....Good News...

The sad news is Iotus has sold his car, I know he loved it. The good news is with all the hard work that CODEBLUE has put into blue, I decided to reward him by buying Iotus's turboed 85 gslse. We will love it as much as blue. Thanks Geoff your car is an awesome car I must say. Now I know what everyone is talking about when they say Turbos are a blast to drive. lol sure sucks gas. I will post pics later today.

Thanks again Geoff "Iotus"

Well, I think you know what I want to put on your cars. They are both beautiful cars.

The car needs love again. It has some minor problems that need to be fixed and a good tune. It keeps a good idle, but runs a bit rough in town driving (under 40mph). Other than that it runs pretty good. Car stays nice and cool under the hood, unlike Blue where I get too much heat.

Yesterday we heat wrapped my header on blue. Wow what a difference it has made. Took blue and Iotus out for a small cruiz after heat wrapping the header, and hooking up the e-fan. Temps under hood stayed nice and cool. No problems on the drive.

We know nothing about Turbos or tuning webers, so if anyone does know how to tune in the area, please let me know. Id like to get a good tune on "Iotus", and start the love process again. Waiting for the weather to get better so that I can clean the car up. Daves already started under the engine bay with his polishing.

Don you can buy blue....lol

We/I am the proud new owner of the Turbo charger. There still is a lot of work to be done as it has been sitting all alone for the last six months. So I will be spending some time cleaning him up and doing some repairs. I'm glad Iotus has come to us and not someone that wont take care of the car and just beat it.

So on a different note: With all the hot air in Blues engine bay, we have come to the conclusion that Blue is in heat. Let the mating commence. Were hoping for twins but will settle for anything healthy and between the age of 80-84. Hopefully the two will not produce an automatic, but a superduper supercharged turbo. muhahaha

Ok, so you talked to me and begged me to be your tuner/helper since I did a huge amount of the work on that car. and then you post something like this? WTF?

If you want me to work on the car fine, but if you don't, then don't stab me in the back like this in the middle of the forum.
