First, I need to quote myself, and install a disclaimer:

SO, after an entire YEAR at C&C, it's on it's way back. Dave has been working on it off and on for the last 12 months, but there's still some little shit that needs doing, and Dave really just doesn't have the time. Boost controller is limiting at 15 lbs, instead of the 25 it's supposed to make, think the solenoid's crapped out, so I'm replacing that. The TB's need to be removed so bungs can be welded on for the N20 foggers. Subframe bushings, brake pads/rotors/lines, shifter bushings, new plugs, (<that's 3 hours alone...) alignment, and a small host of other crap.

Dean always asks me if I miss the old pig just to be able to suck up some hours on when I'm slow, well Dean, wish granted! Cool thing is, the car is running good, and on 15lbs with no N20, it's making about 450rwhp. Not too bad. It's owner also says he wants to bring it out (without the Nos!) to some SCCA track days or auto-x events as well, see if he can make it handle as well as go fast. we'll see...


say a little prayer for me guys.
