Another recommendation would be to do a carbon test to see if you have exhaust in the coolant. This would indicate a head lifting under peak cylinder pressure (weak stud/headgasket combo or detonation typically the culprit).

Not really sure how to do that. Either way, sounds like I have to get into boost to do that. So hopefully I'll have the wheels back end of the week all finished with new rooobers on. So hopefully can drive it this weekend and see what I see.

Pretty simple.

Small updates.

I got the replacement ABS sensors installed. So just working on getting them wired to Infinity, slowly but surely. Also started wiring in the clutch pedal switch into Infinity as well.

While I'm really hoping 2017 is going to be a great year, I haven't lost focus of my 2018 plans either. So I got the motor loaded onto the trailer, and all the motor bits I bought from Real St., all loaded up as well. I'll be dropping this off with Daniel Koetz @ Precision Race Engine tomorrow to start doing his thing so it's ready in plenty of time for next Winter!

Hellz yeah, he wouldn't answer my messages so that kinda sucks for me.
