What's the deal with that car? Did you fill the gas tank with Fail?

Yes. It runs. It runs strong. The ECU went out. Legitimately, a capacitor on the ignition circuit burnt out.

Dude, you have no idea... Lol you should have heard it for the week we had it running though... Things sounds BEAST... The lobe that it has is awesome! Motor is strong, compression strong on all cylinders, no leaks (gas or liquid), it was awesome. Hoping to have another motor build come through soon.

It's definately better than trying to pound that beesh in with a metal pole and bfh!
Pat, if you can't make it it's no biggy....I wouldn't be upset. I understand with your work schedule and everything.

How hard are HFC's to install? Because I just started and it looks a lot harder than I was expecting based upon how all these bolts are located.

My work schedule shouldn't be an issue. I normally get up sometime between 11 and 12 everyday and I don't have to be back at work til 8 so I should be good to go. Besides I want to help out with that anyways, even if I didn't owe you. It'll only take me like 15 minutes to get to work from jakes too if we are still there around 7:30 or 8.

That's my issue, although I also noticed it looks like there's more room if you have the 6MT. I watched a berk install vid. I already have to go to this exhaust place to get some welding done, so I think I'll just have them do it.

Does it make sense that this shop wants to charge me a core charge to get my stock cats back after getting HFC's?
