You may have noticed i've learned about pic thumbnails; some day i will edit my previous pics to make loading this thread easier. First, the car that I've been abusing the last month or so: I've had a blast saving gas driving this one hard, though I've put in some cash between new header back...

What do the car do when your trying to get boost?

Did you end up sleeving the spark plug wires? It looks trick and a little more insulation can't hurt :)

Last night I began tearing into the build again to go over the unsure/undone details. I had a suspicion the machine shop got lazy and didn't take the last .005" off the deck to account for the thicker than composite (1.37mm) HKS Stopper (2mm) headgasket. They did deck the block a tad more...

What are your power goals with this setup?

I like plumbing cuz customers always have neat stuff to gawk at, makes a great conv piece too :) Started buffing the porsche for that glamorous metallic maroon to come back to life. Buffer died and i discovered i get better faster results by hand using a couple rags and meguir's diamond cut...

How much trouble is it to set timing on those engines?

3 angle is fine. all a 5 angle is is the 3 angle radius cuts, plus 2 more at the intermediate "humps" to smooth them out more. Example: Picture a street corner from top view. Normally when driving, a person cuts the wheel an amount and makes for smooth cornering, a smooth radius, as if the...

The 03 i drove was on MBC since the factory EBC doesn't really keep up with RPMs in 4th and 5th after upgrades begin (bigger exhaust, divorced downpipe) It was described as bouncing above and below the target pressure and not really settling in time before shifting.

I've got some projects coming up for work i have to handle plus some rims to paint. Maybe next week, I'm not too sure. Make a check list of things to do to stay on track/forgettion prevention ;)

Did someone say marathon, does this sneaky ducky sneaker work?

Been a helluva ride last 3-4 weeks Highlights: -Wiper motor and brake lines reinstalled -Went to a wedding -Helping my gf with her business; struck a deal to ride horses with her (she's a trainer), and she wants me to walk her through building an engine (my spare 7m). Says if i don't finish...

The manifold boost leak would heat up that part of the head most and over time cause the gasket to fail. From there you could get rodknock. Lesson is, don't let things go too long.

Nice transformation, even if you didn't have it painted yet. I had my first wrx driving experience few days back, impressive. I didn't take her to the limit but I enjoyed the tuned 20g under the hood and navigating rush hour on the hwy. Balanced feel, responsive, plenty of rebound if one was to...

"I'll huff and I'll puff and BLOW your house down" Still waiting... ;)

I was close :) NICE SHINEY HARNESS :]

I appreciate the offer, I'll take you up on it once I figure out which one ;)

Its always nice to see someone dive right in deep ;) Subscribed

what res are those pics uploaded at, I click on them and they don't get much larger, like from 1152 to 1280 pixel. Having a huge screen doesn't help lol... BTW all your pics ever posted, are desktop backgrounds that would stay months at a time before i switch ;)
