    Hello from Delaware

    Yeah haha. The 'short term' list should be about $5-6k all said and done. I did snag a good deal recently on the killer b headers used for about half price so that helped a lot :tup:. going to keep looking around for more used deals.

    Hello from Delaware

    Once again, I have revised my plans going forward :lol:. Pretty much going full bolt on all in one shot and then built SB and bigger turbo later. Also decided I want to go for E85 even though there's only one place to get it in the state of Delaware :bang: Plans for the near future (probably...

    Hello from Delaware

    Did about 100 miles today blasting arounds some nice twisties. Overall the car is completely transformed. Since I did so much at once its hard to tell what each part actually did. I definitely notice that the CFDS really smooths out low speed driving. No more bucking and jerking from the...

    Gauge Wire Routing

    Seems like a lot of people use the grommet in the drivers side fender well. I will be installing a few gauges this weekend and hopefully can figure something out :lol:. supposedly there's a grommet pretty close to the downpipe that would be ideal for the AFR. will report back and let you know...

    Hello from Delaware

    Found it over on IWSTI and low balled the shit out of the guy :lol:. Didnt really expect him to accept it but he said it had just been sitting in his basement and wanted it gone. Paid $515 shipped.

    Hello from Delaware

    Yesterday was a good day. Picked up a set of Wedssports TC105N 18x9.5 wheels with Michelin PSS tires in perfect condition for a little over half price and got my PST carbon driveshaft in the mail that I paid under half of MSRP. :tup:

    Hello from Delaware

    More goodies showed up in the mail today! Found this Mishimoto TMIC for a very good discount used even though at this point I have absolutely no need for a bigger TMIC :lol:. Price was good enough that I figured I would pull the trigger on it. Had to bling it up a little bit with some reflect a...

    Hello from Delaware

    luckily most of the time we have a climb assist, which is basically just a cable we attach to that pulls ~100lbs of our weight. Sometimes we are even luck enough to have a small elevator, although they are extremely rare in the US. It is still very physically taxing to have to climb a 3-400ft...

    Hello from Delaware

    Thanks! It's really not all that dangerous as long as you have a little bit of common sense :lol:. Most people think of falls as the biggest danger but it's actually very rare that there is a fatal fall. We all wear harnesses and are tied off any time a fall would be possible. Honestly the drive...

    Hello from Delaware

    Got my downpipe back from the shop today. Fresh coat of Cerakote Glacier Black. Only intended to do a partial wrap on it but I sure thought a 2"x15' roll would make it a little farther :lol:. probably overlapped a bit too much... Before wrap: After Wrap:

    THE E85 HEADACHE

    I'm sure someone far more knowledgeable than me will be along shortly. How old was the fuel pump when it failed? Still running factory regulator? My thoughts would be that maybe the regulator sticks open causing the low pressure (I would check the manifold reference line to the FPR for...
