Is this how you change a spark plug?
Finally got the rear timing cover off. After beating prying and almost giving up on life. I discovered I missed 4 bolts. 2 under the oil pan and 2 in plain sight... I feel really really dumb.

Wow! I changed out both window motors and thought that was a major accomplishment, since they went out 4 years ago. You guy are busy doing teal engine work.

Reinstalled the under wheel well covers.. to realize half my push tabs are broken.
Gatta find a new solution for the push tabs. I'm not spending $3 for each crappy push tab from the stealership.
Found a couple that world well with a nut and bolt.. but some won't be that easy.

It's not turbo, I'm running a Vortech Supercharger, built motor, among other things. And yes I want it to be an OEM+ kinda build. Stock body and all performance and suspension upgrades. The TE37 Super Laps are real, yes. Thanks for the kind words!

Locked in Sasha's last boosted performance HR turbo kit....just waiting on the payment to clear. Ordered a Z1 single exhaust for the turbo kit, and a Southbend Stage 3 daily clutch kit with Wilwood master cylinder and zspeed HD slave cylinder.....................Now trying to decide on boost controller, gauges and turbo blanket.

This will be my first time into the boosted realm. I always thought that the gauges were somewhat necessary to monitor boost and A/F ratio fluctuations to hopefully catch it before anything goes boom. The turbo blanket would be there to hopefully not fry any harnesses that it sits by. I may just run it without anything at first then update these items later.

I've heard and seen both.. some guys go over 400 some guys throw sht below it...
But with my kit I could easily make around 500 which is some what my goal. 500-600 whp is about where I wanna finish with it. Just to say I did and have a car capable of it.
But I'm in no rush right now. Especially since on track and canyon roads it's PLENTY fast enough right now.

I know I specifically got this one at harbor freight thinking it would break before the bolt came loose, and I could just exchange it and try again. I do have a 25inch one I was using with a 3 foot jack hamdle. I stood on the end and bounced and the nut didn't come loose...
Anywho got some good pictures for you jerks who think getting the exhaust off is easy
I also broke the starter trying to get it out... O well
Got the suspension off on the passenger side, front subframe brace off. All the exhaust off, the steering rack off... And the axle bolts out finally... Its official I am the slowest disasembler known to man. But its all good.
Neighbors love me.
