Good call! I know that stuff is popular. I don't need anything now since I just bought a new sealant to go with my polish, but I will definitely remember about that.

The motor will be finished today. Still have to pull the old motor, replace it with the new, attached the harness and the accessories, bolt on the turbo kit, attach and run the new fuel system, fill her up with fluids and it will be ready to rock and roll.

Already have a tune on it. Not completed but enough to get the car around as long as I stay below 4500 rpm and under 3psi.

Stephen: the HDR photo's is pretty smart, a little interesting for sure I've never seen any body post nothing but hdr photos.

Looks good in the HDR photos. I'd hate to go check it out in person and it's not so nice.

Stephen, how can you use the same tune? Didn't you change a bunch of things on the new setup? On top of that, why would you want to run the same tune that blew the last setup?

How do you know they are HDR's.....Usually all Camera raw images get exported as a Jpeg, Tiff, or PDF file of some sort. High Dynamic Range images are usually just Hi Rez images.

Tune isn't what caused it to blow. Age of the motor was a huge factor, and soon I will know for sure what the other factors were. Yes I have changed a few things, let me rephrase what I meant, I will be using the same ecu and tuning program.

Just a guess by the way the pictures look, never seen anything besides HDR that looks that way.

"Fire Investigator" came out to my friends shop where we were lighting up some fireworks and confiscated all of our stuff..said something about us being in there jurisdiction and it was illegal, even though the fireworks stand was a mile down. They said we were 5000ft away from the area that we could light it up at. Bunch of BS..they were being punks too. My friend even called the Fire Marshall ahead of time to check to see if it was ok they said it was fine as long as we're careful..pass previous years was never a problem. Sucks they took all the big grand finale stuff..They were being dicks as well. Said ya you can take it and put it away but if you touch it we'll give citations and it's a 2,000$ fine. Took over 200$-300$ worth of stuff.

They probably took it and went and had their own party lol. That happened to me and some friends a few years ago. We got my dads friend a $2000 fine but we deserved it. We got caught lighting them in a field but it was still in city limits but we had been lighting them in his coldesac all night long.

Maybe getting parts for my car instead may relieve those headaches. Have them ship those items my way. I'll deal with the headache.



Hopefully, everything gets sorted out for you, bud.
