    looks nice! Pics like those makes me want to go turbo

    Comment


      Today was all about rounding up loose ends kinda. I swapped out some ****ty bolts from the hub. They have been bothering me for a while and a temporary solution kinda became more permenant. Well not today, they got swapped over to some nice pan head allens.





      Finally got around to installing the Innovate AFR gauge. It was simple.. Bad picture is bad so GFY


      Mounted my fire extinguisher in a easily accessable place to the driver and yet out of sight and out of the way. No gay ass chrome a piller ****!






      I also tweaked the accel enrichments and was surprised at how much they were off. The car rev's so smooth now from an idle.

      I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

              Just when I think that I have rid the car of the previous owner's less than sloppy work I found this:


              Pictured on the left is a Large blue (1 bar)
              I figured that I had a large red (.8 bar) because that is what pressure I would see under boost.

              Pictured right is a large blue spring cut!!!!!!!!!!
              WHAT THE **** why would you cut the spring and even use it. Thank unborn baby jesus that there was no malfunctions or excessive wear on the wastegate cap from this bull****.

              Also, i'm waiting for the radiator to come back from the shop. I had the lower nipple moved to the end of the tank. I melted the coolant hose and don't see any good reason to put it back to melt another in 3 months.

                    Where did you end up putting it?
                    I'm having mine put in the end of the tank at the bottom coming straight out the side(of the tank of course )

                      The modified radiator is in after needing to get it rewelded. The hose fits so perfectly with no kinks and away from the downpipe. Injectors are in with no fuel leaks. I worked on the tune and it runs pretty good. I noticed that its hitting 16.8 psi under WOT now. The spring should have had it at <15psi I might need to get a EBC

                          skirts, lower hatch spoiler, GTX mirrors and keyless fuel door going to paint tomorrow with the GTR front bumper.
                          Upon taking out the rivets holding on the skirts in the door wells. I was not surprised to find a tad bit of rust. Since they're in a unseen portion of the body I will sand it out, prime it and spray it with some rustolem to help prevent future cancer. It is very minor rust barely scratching the surface.
