"Hello, deep end?"
"Go for deep end."
"It's scheidesball one...he's gone to plaid!"

First off, I'm just gonna start with this:

Yahoo! The car runs and drives. I got a good deal on the turbo but today I maybe found out why:
1KeBKeIT2I4

The car starts runs and drives just dandy, but on decel it smokes. No residue in the exhaust manifold at all so it is very likely coming from the turbo. Checked PCVs and kracka vents and all are nice and clean. Really not sure what to do, everyone I talk to has turbos on backorder. I'm not giving up, this thing is SO close.

Also, these showed up today:

I now am the proud owner of *7* sets of wheels and 6 sets of tires. Yeash. These are off of a 2014 GSR from NJ and while they're good and dirty they appear to be pretty straight. I'm going to take the Fuzion ZRi tires off of the black/red tenzos that came with the car and put them on these. Not 100% sure if they'll stay on this car or if I'll swap with the X, we'll see.

Something else showed up today as well! A broken spring:

This....will make driving at track events tricky.

Oh, and one of the snow tires has a big screw in it. Freaking love Fridays! :P

Try to get money back on the fp white and buy a new fp turbo or bbk

[asshanson]

Yea, I would definitely try and get your money back on the turbo. Or maybe swap in a known good stocker just to verify? Good luck figuring it all out!

[scheides]

Yea trying to find a known-good stocker was what I tried to do in the first place...back to the drawing board on that one. Found some nationally, gonna try and get one here as soon as I can. Maybe I'll have as many turbos as I do sets of wheels soon just to make sure I'm covered? :P

[rose0529]

Woot!! glad it is up and running. Those X wheels will look hot! I wanted a set of those for that car, but black is sexier... fyi.

Bummer about the turbo and the spring though :(...

[goodhart]

Fuckin bad luck!

[scheides]

Welp, that just happened.
