Honestly my hands were so covered in grease the only piece of technology I was willing to touch was my dented and nearly destroyed iPhone. lol

Spent a long ass time cleaning every damn bolt of every part of the engine... (with the exception of the alternator & ac compressor). Finally got the car running and started breaking the engine in. I'll be grabbing some pics with my actual camera over the weekend. I still need to setup cooling for the turbo and need an exhaust (I just have an overpipe and nothing else). But at least the car lives!!! It was so weird actually driving my car! I realize now my car has spent as much time on jack stands as it has on the ground since I bought it.

I have a thing for purple! (Genuinely my favorite color)





Damn sand storm held me up a few days back... Right after I got the inter intercooler mounted!!



My temporary "Exhaust"


Close to stock looking, just the way I like it!


Finally left the house and took a drive down to JDL for a visit.

I talked to Nelsmar yesterday said he made a major mistake with tuning.

He did not account for boost surge in certain conditions. During testing he had two dudes in the back seat pushing in each others stool, it changed engine load enough to cause a spike which resulted in a massive jolt and the two guys fell out of each other leaving a chocolatey marshmallow mess all over the back seats.

He was talking about Clazzio seat covers but was pretty much in tears could not understand him.

Recirculated dump... lol I was running open over pipe for a while... now I have a OEM midpipe with a muffler delete on it as a temporary fix. But it still put down high 300's on pretty much pump gas. I'm dying to see how spool & power differentiates with a real exhaust.

Drove this beast a couple weeks ago. It is absolutely amazing, but has one flaw.

The damn tires won't stick to the road, no matter what gear you're in.
