Now put the hood back, on, and push it out into the lot...

No celebrating until it has left the property.

Kevin M · 2006-07-06, 04:11 PM

Werd. Shut up and get it out of your sphere of liability!

A1337STI · 2006-07-07, 08:22 AM

almost congrats ! let us know when the owner picks it up

*Crosses fingers for you*

MPREZIV · 2006-07-07, 09:33 AM

It's parked outside as we speak! It's kinda nice to have BOTH of my bays back!

As soon as we get the check from the machine shop, he can come get the som-bitch! And then I give him my express tail-light warranty: As soon as I can't see the tail-lights anymore, WARRANTY EXPIRED!!!!

MPREZIV · 2006-07-10, 06:51 AM

And it drove away on Saturday! GC8-Love's BF Lonnie and former Integra owner Chris were even here to witness it. It was beautiful!!!!

I almost shed a tear...

Kevin M · 2006-07-10, 07:20 AM

And the peasants rejoiced.

YAY!!!!

Dean · 2006-07-10, 07:42 AM

And then they celebrated with a fine dinner at Taco Bell.

Oh wait, it was a late lunch at Del Taco... Same Diff.

MPREZIV · 2006-07-10, 08:17 AM

Del Taco > Taco Bell. IMO.

No need. The food does that for you.

Wait a minute... Maybe Cory is Simon Phoenix... He'd kill everyone if all the restaurants were Taco Bell.

Kevin M · 2006-07-10, 05:14 PM

I'm cool with Cory becoming an archcriminal, as long as he leaves out the Dennis Rodman fanboi look.

I don't think I could pull off the blonde high-top fade and orange suspenders anyway...

bump...

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

Disclaimer: Never knock on wood. It's a scam.

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.

Dean · 2007-07-25, 11:48 AM

HAHAHAHHAHA

Hang in there man. Without ZON, it probably won't bite...

MPREZIV · 2007-09-07, 05:20 PM

Bumpity! Motor needs to come out again!

The oil pressure regulator (spring loaded ball pintle) appears to be stuck, and not regulating as it should. At idle, the car's got 50 lbs of oil pressure, and 120 at 2500rpm! Spec is 60 max at 3K rpm! The pressure has blown out the rear main seal, and caused a leak at the oil passage at the back of the RH cylinder head, through the gasket. In order to even pull the pump, you've got to pull the motor, remove the timing cover/belt, and drop the oil pan off, seeing that the oil pump is run off the front of the crank, behind the timing gear.

Good news is, I'm not really upset by this at all, cause I'm not the poor bastard who's pulling the engine!! My boss has pretty much told the owner that there's NO WAY IN HELL we're removing that engine from the car again.

just thought I'd update the saga...
