no worries, not my intent either.

I had a client wet himself too but he went to an exhaust shop to get it done for 1/2 the price. He came back later to have me redo it. Cost him $3500 in the long run. Those v bands aren't cheap either.


Can't wait to hear this car go!!

So meanwhile, we have ignition! Rob's camera work in action (I told him to keep his thumbs to himself ):





Cold oil = 85 to 100 PSI. Open headers and the O2 sensors are wreaking havoc. Also need to work on some harness grounds and other stuff, but the engine harmonics are good. Valve train purrs and the car really wants to rev. Like now. Probably is just a DBW TB adjustment, but my ego is happy

It's a good day

Dude, congrats big time---very happy to hear this running!

I've tried to catch up as much as possible today---what's really left on yours before you are road worthy now? I am really looking forward to seeing the car in person man---plus there may be parts that you want to sell by that time---lol---doesn't sound like that has changed much.

Thanks man; so glad to see you hanging out here agian!! After BoS gets it back there's a little bit of fab. I'm guessing (oh no!) about a month and then it's off to interior. I want to get all the weight in the car (ugg) before I start messing with stance...

Thanks Al. Should have a regular idle by end of the week. It was hard to capture in the vid, but the open headers and floor pans were rumbling. Made my tushie tingle
