Hey Andrew, you should send Schneider a "When not to leave the crease while goal tending for Dummies" guide

Or you can send him to some ballet classes

Working on installing my Kirk Roll Bar. The reports of old are still true, fitment is a bitch, packaging was poor and the thing was all scratched up, and the comparing to old pics on here the rear bar design is a bit different...

Changed oil getting ready for DGRR and made some minor suspension adjustments. Tomorrow is for headlights, spark plugs, and hood latches.

My goal is to bring the dirtiest and slowest FD to DGRR. I may try and wash it though.

Installed mid pipe today, still not boosting to 10psi. Rules out the cat as the culprit, time to recheck the hoses.

That includes making it to Gainesville, filling up with gas, and realising i left my wallet at home
I almost called Eddie for a payday loan, but my bank helped me out....so im straight

Water temps hit 102* today in the afternoon but when down to 98* at 5pm. I used the AC the whole trip. My intake temps were 50* at 2pm

Jesus. 102? What is your IC setup like? Man I would have been happy to loan you money Moose. How does 25% interest and 7 points sound? =D

Things that were NOT accomplished before DGRR: Installing headlight covers on EVO-R kit, installing Aerocatch latches on my floppy Shine/FEED Hood and installing passenger door panel with SBG "unbreakable" interior handle.

Slowest (and possibly dirtiest) FD in Florida is ready to go!

Just my .02... if you ruled that out, throw your cat back on until you have a proper ECU/fuel.

Once you throw that downpipe on (or do you already have one?) and figure out that boost issue - you'll be in dangerous territory.

Straight exhaust without an ECU is a recipe for a nice new streetport engine.
