Alright i have to get back up on this

First off the car is still going good and i just passed 1000 miles.. WOOT!
I fixed the gas problem and finally stopped trying to be HULK and got in a T. stat housing without cracking it. I also redid the gas plug. The boost gauge is going in tonight because i finally found my single gauge holder. Since i last posted i hit a pot hole and popped the tire ( soon found out i bent the rim). I just got the rim fixed last night from some grimy looking dude that only charged me 10 dollars and also special thanks to Pete(polishmafia) for putting on another tire for me.

Just thought i would let everyone know whats going on.

I like the 2G airbox, very factory looking. I tried getting one to work on my 1G last night, no bueno. Looks like yours has more room there.

It just fit. I had a hard time to get it in there. The mirage engine bay is tiny compared to a dsm. I had to cut out the full flex section of the stock intake tube to get it all to fit in there. But it worked out just fine and it was only a beer for spaz to get the intake tube,air box,and drop in k&n filter.

Alright now i think either the water pump or alternator is bad because it is making some annoying ass humming sound. Next i am almost positive i got a bad lifter or something wrong with a valve because it has a little bit of a knocking noise.

Ok so i know a lot of people think i might be being rude to mark and sayin that it could not have been mark that made my engine throw a rod but i have proof that it was in fact mark. Recently i purchased a new block from Iceminion. He insisted that he help me take my old engine apart and put my new one back together. When we were taking the old engine apart we found chunks of RTV blocking oil squirters. the RTV was put on in large amounts around the oil pan and sucked up through the pickup tube so my motor was getting little oil. Also the 14b turbo he gave me (which he had taken apart and did god knows what to it before he put it on my car) was shot and had 1/4 of shaft play. I was told thats what mad the whining noise so i also had to buy an Evo III 16g.

Twitch,

I also want my rim back that I lent you out when you needed it out of good will. I posted twice in threads you were in and also PM'ed you about it but you've been ignoring me.
