just got done pulling of the stock intercooler and going over my car with a fine tooth comb to only discover its blown and i need a new engine

 

Bought an Apexi N1 exhaust this weekend and installed it today, and sold my old exhaust. I took my car over to Marc at FD3S Engineering in Beaverton(in the same building as Apex Restoration) to look at my car and I found out I have bad compression He said the engine will only last till the end of the summer

 

Put the replacement front bumper on. Mostly done, just needed some screws.

 

picked up a racing beat header in eugene for $50

 

sanded down all the parts where the clear coat was comming off

 

cut up my fingers on little metal bits while removing the coolant hoses. oem or mazo silicone hoses...hmmm.

 

Primered the **** outta the top and back half way down the car.

 

home depot brake ducting!
dunno if it'll stay attached at 150mph, but at least it clears the tires.

 

Got highcentered, lifted up back and pushed forward and it launched, dove into the drivers seat and cranked ebrake up halfway only to have it go faster cuz there was another hill. Was dragged about 50ft. Roadrash and glass cuts for days

 

finish painting, CAI installed, and some cruisin with the drop top

 

still workin on my pulsation damper change out. cant get the dam VDI off.

 

Finally got my corksport FMIC kit installed. But it's made for S4. I don't care what the website says. So I had to order 2 more clamps + a 90* reducer. It runs, but leaks like a ****.

 

when ghost riding the whip goes wrong.....

I had a simular experiance after replacing the starter of my old chevy luv. when I put the ground back on the battery, ****** started up and started driving down the block. I got it stoped before it ran into some mail boxes and into a yard. but I chased it a good 75 feet.

I washed mine..... sort of I ran out of quarters.

 

Finally pulled the engine out and now i need to clean the engine bay out and replace my power steering rack with the new manual rack. Almost done with my turbo swap ^_^!

 

I FINALLY got my Title and registration today. Even got plates too. As some of you know I have been going through it to try and get this done. A little hisory, the car was towed and stored for 5 years with no plates, tags, and an unknown owner, but after some doing all is said and done. I just need to swap out the rear end, install some new half shafts and bearings, and let the breakin process begin..

 

Nice, is there a write up on how to do this?

 

finally drove my repu 300ft been 3 years

 

Got the racing beat header installed last week so now I have a full header-back exhaust system. Right after I had the header installed I took it for a drive and everything was fine, I drive it the next day and every time I get to 4k there is hesitation, but now it only does this occasionally. There is also some vibration near the center console around 1-3k. Ugh every time I do something to this car something breaks

 

I bought Tein Type HR Coilovers for my FC and some replacement interior parts.

 

YAY!!! Gotta get some mufflers and go cruzin'..

 

Jinxed atleast you chased behind yours, I sort of chased while attached to mine

 

Got new wheels yesterday.
Wiped them down a little today as well as cleaning out my car and wiping off my door and door sills. (dirty ****)
tomorrow, in the morning i'm evening out my front camber, checking up on my diff and trying to figure out wtf is making a clunking sound when i shift. as well as washing it and repainting my new wheels!
