mine was doing that when it started getting cold. now it just starts right up. i don't dd it either so it is damn cold when it gets started.

also i'm still running the summer blend. i've been getting major backfires after letting off with a little boost in this weather. it isn't running lean though.

 

ricer.

 

ya its definitely nice to be able to wash it in this weather without worrying about the jams freezing etc

thanks, just needs to be a little lower

ha ha what do you expect for winter wheels... atleast they aren't rota's

ha ha thanks guys, they just happen to be my winter wheels, which are the same as my summer wheels lol

hopefully buying a set of volks in the spring for her

 

it's more like a race car backfire than a ricer backfire. it's very loud and comes from both pipes. i know i scared some lady in a minivan last weekend with it.

 

They don't bottle it. That stuff is great when it's real fresh.

I've got a couple local friends visiting the Bay area right now. I gave them a list of beers to bring back. I'm hoping for some <2 week old Pliny the Elder.

 

^ this.

But I will have the car back before April... probably March.

Yeah Marc, whats the hold up?

 

i think i know but was hoping it was something with parts or something

 

Parts were the original hold up (aka Fred Beans). Losing two of the valve keepers really put us back. The car probably would have been together a month ago had that not happend. Then the same day the keepers came in and we were supposed to button everything up Adam broke his ankle. Since then he has had some issues with a blood clot that kept him from doing pretty much anything that didn't envolve sitting down with his foot elevated.

I'm not blaming Adam for anything. I'm there when he is working on the car and he has a lot of time into it. These things just take time. Unless you have all the parts right there ready to go and you don't run into anything unexpected its not an easy job. Seeing all the steps involved and how many tricks he knows it obvious hes done tens of dozens of these. I am so glad I didn't attempt this on my own. Not only would I have probably gotten frustrated and given up, but I don't even have a place to do the work now since my garage is getting redone.

 

btw Pete, I know you're sitting there saying "i told you so".... but you can suck it!

 

that sucks, marc. sorry to hear. that's nuts about adam and the clot. that could have ended up in his lung if he didn't notice his leg swelling up.

what are you doing again? a stroker or boring the block?

 

whooho wheel spacers are going to be waiting for me when i get home
and so are my new CK Dress shoes for work i bought on ebay for 15.00 brand new !!

 

marc, you should mail in your rear diff while your waiting
