wow asian jokes.. hm... not funny

 

eh, if you don't think it's funny, that's fine. I don't know how else to explain it, because most every other American car I've worked on has actually had plenty of room for my fat knuckles. Every asian car I've owned has been hell for hand clearance.

 

OMG it's the holocaust all over again.

ok..ok...... a white man, black man and asian all walk in a bar.........lol

 

Went over last night and helped out a little with it. We worked on the car for a few hours and got a little work done, and lot of cursing and dropping tools. Hah. Hopefully the car will be up and running today. Unfortunately I have to work today. Good luck with it, Mike.

 

welp the exhaust piping is done, wg is done. gotta do the ic piping, vac lines, and oil sender, and reinstall the plenum and front end.

 

Sounds like you are almost there...congrats!!

 

one last IC pipe to finish (the PITA one with the MAF bolted to it), fill with oil, run vac lines, and button up the front end. PRAYING I can start it tonight, maybe finish it tonight too, tomorrow at the latest.

 

go get back to work and get her running and on the road tonight!

 

if i didn't have to work 9-6 6 days a week i'd be done by now!

 

oh that's right it's monday.... no class today

anyway goodluck with getting her finished! i'm sure you're very anxious about it. i'm sure i'd be!

 

AND SHE RUNS!!! I had a coil plug swapped to the wrong cyl, so it sounded horrible. MLG caught it, guessed it, we swapped 'em, and it ran beautifully. VERY Solid 20 vac, no CEL. Tomorrow the bumper and splash guards go back on, and is the first drive

 

Congrats and good job with the install.

 

Congrats!!

 

 

wow, good stuff. so how does she feel? any plans on taking it to the dyno?

 

drove it around a bit tonight. HOLY F**KING WOW! Incredible. 8psi=nuts. getting loose through 2nd....great response!

just as I was about to turn home, popped an exhaust leak and could only build 5psi. I'm thinkin it's near the WG where I couldn't get a gasket in.

 

Exhaust leak? Check the V band clamps...sometimes if they are tightened down a little off camber or touching the chasis they will pop loose.

 

damn congrats.. i wish i had the garage and time to install it myself.. but your first drive impression def getting me hyped up.. keep up updated =)

 

congrats, get all the small kinks worked out (if you have them) and sit back and enjoy. going FI is a PITA at first with all the small things that need tweaking, but it's all worked out, you'll enjoy it even more
