This is good news. Because his is pretty slick.

When it goes 180+mph will it be your favorite maybe?

If you do those speeds, it'll definitely be mine.

Thank you very much, good sir!

Well that's the plan. So you had better get a plaque or something ready. Jussayin'.




So I'm back on campus now and it's kinda difficult to do any serious work to the car. However, last weekend I did drive it home to replace the gas tank as the seam had been leaking for some time and I never did anything about it. While I was at it I also redid my fuel pump wiring... because I'm anal and always have to put things back together better than before.

Then a couple days ago I wrapped my turbo manifold and downpipe (at least, the part that doesn't rest on the ground). When driving on the highway at like 3,500 rpm, the car starts to overheat and I have to flip the heat on or slow down. It was running a bit lean at that rpm so I both wrapped the stuff and added more fuel.

I do not like how it looks at all. I like the look of bare tubes better but whatever. It needed done as the one tube almost touches the radiator. And I DON'T want to drive with the heat on all the way to H2Oi.










It was funny doing this in the parking lot. I had the entire front end off the car and sitting on the roof rack. Literally every person was like, "Oh, what broke on the ricer now?"

That was annoying.

It's not a ricer. I'm not a ricer. Some Americans, I'll tell ya.

But no, some people were really nice and it was a good conversation starter.

Not sure if the valve cover is supposed to look weathered or not but damn does it look cool. Also exhaust wrap is one of my favourite things.

[M.Doban]

Thanks, mang.

I messed it up from the motor hitting the hood so I started to sand it down to redo it but I liked how it looked half-sanded.

Glad you like the wrap. I'm not sure how I feel about it... I guess it's growing on me though.

even the sun wont allow micah's face to be shown!

and you aren't a ricer, you aren't a ricer.

[M.Doban]

HAHAHA! I didn't even catch that.

Oh the mystery.

Thank you, sir Zachary... thank you.

Ah! That makes me think of Jamaica.

Thanks though



So guess what I did yesterday evening? I washed my car. Guess what it did last night and all day today? It rained.

But that's okay I guess because this car has not been washed in months.

No, that is not me. That would not be funny.



The car wash bay thing was all slanty and I half beached the car driving in and then this was all the farther I could go in because the front cross member got friendly with the ground.

This weekend I'm going to try to go home and do some real H2O prep. I'd like to make a hard-line oil supply for the turbo like I did my dad's because I really like how that turned out (see the video in the Jeep build). I also need to adjust the rear camber on the driver's side a bit as well as some other little odds and ends.

[SheaMoose]

I can't see the face, so it's definitely you..

I wish I could go to H20.
Come pick me up?

[TrailerTrash]

No, that is not me. That would not be funny.

I disagree.
