Excellent. I will expect to see both cars there. Or else. So how's life without boost? Do you feel like a crack addict in the middle of a crackless ocean?

nah, ze lack of boost iz merely a sound at this point. I have far too much fun in the NA without having to worry bout boost spikes, busting traction too soon, and best of all.... 21+mpg. That in itself makes no boost sooooo much better.

How's the cheeto and purple people eater anyhow? Got the fuel pump for the widebody friday night from O'really's and got a set of new rubber on the na's t2 wheels, all while trying to score some vert wheels from ebay.

Trying telling that to a 12A! I've been calculating mileage in the Cheeto for the past couple of weeks... I've got under a quarter of a tank to go before I can run the numbers. I'm hoping for at least 20mpg but we'll see.

Both the Cheeto and the TII are running like champions. I'm back to daily driving the Cheeto and haven't had any more fuel issues. I found an open vacuum source on the backside of the TII's TB that was causing it to barely idle. Apparently I blew the vacuum cap off of it when I ran it at WOT a few weeks ago. Oops! So that was an easy fix, and made me happy since I was seconds away from pulling the manifold apart to look for the leak. Now all I have to do is renew the tags of both cars. Unfortunately in Knox County, that's 60 bucks a year. The TII hasn't been tagged in 2, so it's going to run me around 200 to get a new tag for it. Thanks, Knox County.

Was it a black 88 perhaps? Probably Wamo's ex-TII, he had rear seats. What did you say in the note?

I need an e-fan, I want to finally get rid of the vibration that my stock one causes.

Go to pick and pull near the Peterbilt dealership in knoxville, 13bucks i think for one from a taurus or escort, though Aron Cake suggest a fiero GT fan...

And yes it was black with grey cloth, gauge pod on the left pillar as well as mustang gt wheels and an aftermarket steering wheel.

Sounds like the car, with a few additions. I was wondering where it went. Apparently it never left Maryville. Maybe they'll come to the meet. Speaking of... think you could bring your compression tester? I got both cars running good and I wanna check the numbers. Let's see who has the highest compression... whahahaha.

Geez Derrick go to bed! Pics or ban, you know the rules. I'm going to try to build a fiberglass intake duct for the TII and put a cone filter on the end of it. We'll see how that goes. I hope to at least have a prototype by next weekend.

Oh... right... well I guess I should go to bed then. I've got rotary things to do today. Vert wheels, eh? Now all you need is a vert to go with them. Are they for the N/A? I thought you just got new tires...

Wheel hoarder! Anyone have a MAF adapter piece for a 3" cone filter? Or any intake for an FC, I could use that as well.

Whoa, they write tickets for cracked windshields? That's retarded. And what car downtown can't be heard from 50ft? Dumb cops. Another reason not to go downtown.

How much you want for one of those adapters? Wouldn't have a cone filter to go with it would you? If not I'll eBay me one.

Eh... the CHEETO doesn't swing that way. The Chubby can have all the company it wants this weekend if he can get it up here. Has anyone talked to Jeremy, Joey, and Louis about the meet? It woud be good to have all the FB's out there.
