What size are your IC Hardpipes? That large intercooler is definitely not helping that lil CT get the air all the way to the intake, if you have larger then 2.25" pipes, that's not helping either, if you have 3" pipes that would definitely explain why your bolt-ons have been creating lag...

Hoping this doesn't come back to bite me on the ass for saying this with such confidence but: There is no position where all valves are fully seated. I'd give it a 0.01% chance that I'm wrong ;)

So I decided to just go ahead and do what the great IJ. has instructed and just strip the rest of the bay, including dropping the entire front axle / power steering rack! Also got rid of the moulding below the window, the water dam screens (if that's what they're called), wiper assembly, hood...

Oh wow I can't believe it LOL I hope it doesn't go much lower when the engine goes in!

You're joking, right? Theres no way the front of the car would be that low, unless he pushed the car out of the garage and weighed down the engine bay with sand bags ;) that would be a pretty cruel joke. Congrats Buckshot! Car looks hot as hell, can't wait til I'm in the same boat as you...

I always run +1 qt. in my NA, will probably do like +1.5 on the 7MGTE, if it's safe on a totally stock oil system. Doward, get a picture of the 5 quarts in the pan if you can! That would be a great reference, maybe measure how low from the pan rails the crank goes! I should've done that while...

Sounds all too familiar! I need money for paint now so I can get my engine bay ready!!

You mean ready for the head? =P Just abit of silicon on the part that goes into the pump (with the jamb nut), and 2 rev's of teflon tape on the part of the AN adapter that screws into the block! The AN side of the fittings that actually connects to the hardline, needs no sealant

Yeah I remember that, the picture is incorrect ;) How did I apply it? With my hands :D Just put 2 revolutions of teflon tape in the same direction as the threads

Hide the dirt? Most of the dirt has already been washed away, and the rest will soon be gone... no hiding here ;) Got some work on my engine done today, Intake mani on, started on the vacuum hoses, fuel lines, and wiring :) Also removed the headlamp motors, brake booster, and clutch master...

:evil5: Word. Mdr, we are letting him do what he wants, noone is stopping him from defiling his car. We're just excersizing our own right of free speech to call him out on his stupidity :biglaugh:

I'm very chill, thanks for your concern though! Everyone does not use capslock, maybe occasionally it's appropriate, but every single time LamaRossa makes a post or starts a new thread, the entire post and thread title is in capslock, this is really fucking annoying and bad internet etiquette...

Yay, good for you We should all have a round stomping on your nuts, and then maybe a moderator can ban you for being too retarded to stop using capslock!

Maybe so, but my engine bay will be alot cleaner ;) After this month is up and all the bills are taken care of, it's time to pick up shifts and scrape together the money for some paint! Tomorrow (today) I plan to finish off the last couple of items in the engine bay, and then go put those...

Cool, thanks for the tips Buckshot :) So You're still Ok with me stealing your color code, right? ;) Sure Kyle, I'll take out the B.B and M.C. for you, whatever makes you happy :D

Oooh, sounds purty! So when I order the 206 in 2-stage form (2 stage just means the color needs a clear coat, right?), the ruby pearl is seperate? I dropped my suspension today for Buckshot, and my AC condenser and lines for IJ. ;) Still plan on removing the brake booster and clutch master...

Post whore ;)

How about for a whole car plus the bay, like a gallon? I tend to use paint abit heavily... bad habit I know Thats right Buckshot, i got the idea from you! Remember a PM awhile ago, I asked for your approval? :D That looks SOO good I can only hope my first attempt at a paintjob this serious...

Yes that is the plan now that I'm looking at prices... Planning on going with 206, Black ruby pearl, but honestly, i wish there was more red pearl in it! Anyone have any suggestions? :love: How much would I need for just the bay? A Pint?

LOL I Think I'll just mask it off ;) Gawd i wish I had cash for the paint i want to actually paint the whole car with! I should price it out and try and scrounge it up... probably be at least $400, and doesn't that stuff have limited shelf-life?
