    Partially wrapping exhaust manifold/header...

    Wrapped mine from the elbow down. The pipe is thick enough that I wont worry about rust for a very long time. By the time I have a rust issue I am sure I will have another DP.

    How I spent this months allowance .......

    I used aluminum rods that are just slightly smaller then the accumalator springs. Didnt do anything to alter the line pressure. The 1-2 shift always breaks traction. It is a very firm shift. Some might find it uncomfortable. I can tell it is going to be a challenge in the rain. For the most part...

    How I spent this months allowance .......

    No 5 spd swap for me. I actually enjoy the ease of the automatic. Right now there is only 89k on the odometer. The car spent most of its life with people that didnt understand how to work on these cars. Hopefully by the end of this week I will have al the peices together and can get some pics of...

    How I spent this months allowance .......

    The full exhuast system helped my boost cut issue a little. I can just make it to 6000 RPM now before I hit it. Actuator is connected properly with good hose. Appears to be working properly with no hang-ups. I cant acuratley gauge the pressure to open it as my regulator wont allow me to go lower...

    Finally have it back on the road. Tommorrow I will take it to the exhaust shop and have my exhaust pipes and muffler hung. Open downpipe sounds really cool for the first few minutes but gets old really fast. Transmission shifts really hard. Usually chirping into 2nd gear. Guess I got it right...

    Indeed. I was secretly hoping you would come finish it for me. Since I was tired of waiting, I just did my damn self. Thank you. It has been quite the learning expirience for me.

    Still busy on this thing. Mounted the IC and piping. Got everything routed and wired how I wanted in the engine compartment. Fired the car up tonite and it purrs like a kitten. Now I have to finish building my instrument cluster and put my interior back together. Should be in...

    Polishing? HELP.

    The Dremel will be almost useless except for some of the smaller final details. A 4 1/2" grinder is what you really need. Will also need the coarse and fine surface conditioning pads that can be found in most hardware stores along with polishing pads to fit your grinder and clay bars/sticks...

    Car heating up on the highway?

    The funny thing about that statement is it is no good towards a certification to work with R12 freon. There is a totaly seperate program for the license to work with R12/22.

    Garage Band: Lowering noise outside...

    The blankets and egg cartons do help some but very little when you consider the effort put into it. Accoustical tile helps the most but is a little pricey and is mounted permanently. The best thing to remember about sound deadening is that air pockets do the most.

    damn this wire! (HELP!)

    Timmy! Sorry, first name to pop in my head. The wire in your first pic either goes from the + battery to the main fuse box or is the alternator.
