found it in the garage lol

free badass looking lip: priceless

I'm going to have to do one up for shits and giggle, Factory MKI and MKII VW's ones almost look like that anyways.


What did I do to the car this weekend? Not much, tried a wheel on the car and spent the rest of the weekend pondering Zeno's paradox. How can two objects occupy the same place at the same point in time.

I don't think answer can be solved with Hawking or any other philosophers understanding of time and space, But more so with the great Black & Decker and their pal BFH.

LOL I just read this now, when do the 100 or so Hello Kitty figurines get glued to your dash?

my wheel is about to fall off. so i guess i'm gonna do something about it.

was soo tired of al the corrosion from vented hood.
3 hours of hard sanding later, its acceptable.

thanks! thought that was you, but i wasnt sure.

also had a fun little mishap tonight, travelling at a higher rate of speed my diffuser decided to do its job and create downforce, so much so it ripped 2 mounting brackets off and started dragging on the road. fixed it and now it should never come off.

thanks goes to team save-a-7, zimmer and travis.

If it's just plug and play it's very possible.

But my honest advice would be to slow the process down, push the car out on to the driveway and degrease the engine bay (superclean and a stiff nylon brush do wonders!). asses the condition of the rear main seal(s) clutch, pilot, and throwout bearing. Do this stuff well it's apart. Better the car is not running another week, and come out of the garage really buttoned. Then wishing you did this stuff a month down the road, and doing it twice.

This is from personal experience.

Hell even with my last engine rebuild in 2009 I never really did any port work on the head because I wanted the car running for spring, now I'm kicking myself for not just taking the extra week and getting it done.

No worries. Bringing it into work and using engine and car hoist's also have a few journeymen kickin around to help the process. And if its lacking something it'll get it before it gets put in

My learning process on "how to work on cars" involved doing an SR20 swap with jon in one night, this was when we were 16 and knew nothing. You should have no problem.

Ya im fairly confident in it.. I mean I have done countless Honda swaps so Im assuming the SR wont be to much worse. And everyone I talk to all say they are extremely easy to deal with. So here's hoping lol.

pulled off the tubular header, bigger up-pipe, and old turbo.
Package from Grimspeed arrived today, and hope to have the new turbo on by friday evening as well as going back to the stock header.

Yellow. So much other stuff to do, but this was more fun.
