Talking

I'm back in action fellas, thanks to Gil and Armin and Phil for all their help and support during these dark and trying times!

So now that is over let's get the rest of you back on track...
Phil- Lets get those coolers in and hammer out that dent and get some routes put together. I think Anthem at night is a nice drive that overlooks the city lights, just a thought.
Chun- Let's check out that tranny, shifter, clutch peddle, and fluid. Send me those designs if you are ready, I'll pm my email to you.
ffmieres- Get that rebuild/turbo or 3-rotor
Denzel- Did you ever get that starter installed? Compression check, did you find your wheel locks? I still have that filter.
@!!rotornado- Compression check. Let's shake things up, send me the info we talked about. I'm about to light some folks up!
Armin- Smog check and registration and bodywork.
Marco- You still need that disk?
Neil- A new non emo hairdo. Jokes only.
Tat2dart- What are you working on?
Myself- Let's see, compression check, oil change, a wash and wax, new battery...

I'm taking a long test drive out to Lake Las Vegas, wish me luck. That could be a really expensive tow. I'll keep ray's number handy.

Oh I know, I'm just traumatized. I have 67 miles on it now since I bolted it down super tight and she hasn't had a hiccup. Liza was driving it through the car wash today on the way to the Lake while I watched and she stalled on the speed bump on the way out but it was user error. I suffered a mild heart attack. Car wash guy complimented my exhaust note.

Armin nice pic, why does it look so familiar? Thanks for the help today, get your car back on the street.

OK AJ, what did you do to fix the problem???? I am dying to hear.

My new parts should be in today but I will not start until the weekend and then only if it's warm enough. I am tired of being sick.

Phil- Well I was about to go back to stock like you suggested and was removing the MS kit and found another loose connection. I metered all the grounds and cleaned them off really well, gorilla tightened everything and decided to give it one last shot. She turned over right away and has been running great ever since. I had them on my old 8 for 20K miles and they never had a problem, and my compression was good when I checked it at your place right before I lost her.

Felipe- Let's decarb it before you change the plugs.. It won't fix your problem but might hold it together for a little while longer or may just completely kill it. lol

AJ, did you get that new front end to help keep the Turbo cool?

So this blue evo wants to run but wont line up. Staying 1/2 a car length ahead of me when I would speed up to line up so would he. Guess his mangina 4 banger turbo was getting in the way of getting beat by a 1.3 Rotary oh well. Funny thing; he delivered my pizza later that night only to get a two dollar tip.

Alfy art lol

AJ: Sure glad you found the problem - I got a cold and it's been kicking my ***. I'm just starting to feel better. Sure do like the new front bumper. You just had to get one before mine gets here.
Felipe: give premix a try it seems to help sick engines and keep new ones new longer. Try using 8 oz to a tank of gas.
