too much for me to do all today. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I also have other things on the agenda for today..Sorry. I hope to make it to a sport compact day at RF's this year, and figure things more heavily over the winter. from turbos, to nitrous, to slicks, etc.

Scared to actually race your "racecar"?

[Swifty1638]

no, but why race it when I could break shit due to stupid crap that wasn't fixed. I don't care to half-ass something. that's why my car's never really been down..well, except for the 2 months it took PTE to fix my turbo, but other then that, I can't recall another time it's ever really let me down. You gotta know your limits, and live within the means.

OK, so is 'Style going to have our own spot reserved then? I most likely be up there bright and early on Friday morning with the WRX. was there any plans of sticking together as far as parking?


I also fail at having a running DSM :( I almost made it in time with rebuilding the turbo and all, but I am missing gaskets to be able to put it back on :(

[Kracka]

The gaskets should be easy enough to source locally between all our sponsor shops and the dealer.

Shane said he might have them laying around, we'll see. I need a T3 turbo to mani, a mitsu flanged turbo to mani, and two more for the wierd ass down pipe I have to run with this bastard child of a turbo. Those I could just make though, I wouldn't think it would be all to critical for exhaust gaskets to look perfect and be super flat.

So, any plans for meeting up yet? We should get something going

[Halon]

Pretty sure MAP has T3 gaskets laying around. After that, screw the other gaskets, let 'er buck!

[Halon]

And a small update. It does appear my car is pushing a little bit of coolant, but could be worse. I think I'm getting the miss-firing worked out. I'm back up to 25psi right now, with no missfire. c'mon baby!!!!

My turbo needs a ghey adapter plate. So I need a mitsu gasket on the manifold side and a T3 on the turbo side.

[Halon]

Gotcha.
