[nerd racing]

Looking good man, loving the color!

Definately, I am one of the b6t gru's here in sfla. Last weekend we did a complete swap with taking our time and cleaning with toothbrushes in 5 hours. The car was running and there was plenty of time to wash her.

Good to know. I will be needing a turbo upgrade soon.

[Hot_Wheels]

any updates??

[_Shocker_]

Waiting on exhaust manifold to turbo gasket (square one) I guess it's the flange gasket ?

Anyway it'll be here in a few days and I'll be installing the turbo and hopefully lowering the motor into place.

What about the triangle gasket for the downpipe?

[_Shocker_]

Got that one Too it's in the garage

Oh, ok. Mine didn't have one when I took it apart the other day, so I put it back together without it, now it leaks. Just wondering if there was some gasketless trick I was missing.

I wasnt going to work on the festiva today but after a few Jeremiah Weed's i was feeling like i needed to accomplish something

hooked up more vacuum lines, and oil lines, coolant lines, exhaust support bracket, and theres a REALLY rough estimate on how the IC piping is gonna be routed.
