Now I'm relaxing with a cold beer...or seven ;)

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Looking good guys!

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

radiator had a small puncture going to take it to the radiator shop to get it fixed

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

I just wanna live in your engine bay!! :Drool:

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Thanks its been garaged kept broken and running since new. I don't daily drive as I use another car for work so it's pretty much a weekend warrior. Still has a faint new car smell too hard to believe but being closed up for almost 3 years will do that.

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Definitely one of the cleanest IX's around. A good carwash and interior/exterior detailing and it should look almost showroom clean again.

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Minor setback, shouldn't be a big deal! Same thing happened to my IX during a clutch job.

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Good progress!

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

She runs!!! After pumping 3 quarts of Walmart's Supertech 10W-30 conventional oil onto the garage floor all seems well with no leaks :) Idle needs some adjustment since it won't stay alive with some throttle, but a few more minor things to be wrapped up, some tune adjustments so it idles, and then we'll be getting some break-in miles done next Saturday.

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Those fries look goddamn amazing...

oh, awesome news on your car too!

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

This. Exactly this.

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

They pretty much where, probably the best loaded fries I've ever eaten. Fresh-cut, none of that frozen and battered nonsense.

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

still drooling over the car

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Come see it first hand on the spring cruise, might have a few smashed bugs on it though ;)

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Fantastic news!

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

We plan on getting it running mid morning Saturday and then go to Cobb and then out to lunch you're welcome to join us.

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Are you in for some ghetto tacqueria lunch on Saturday, Armando?

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Some professional looking work, I'm confused no beer in the car pics? It will be good to see it on the cruse.

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Thank you! There is (was ;)) a 30 of High Life in the garage fridge.

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Very nice!

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Today is the day!!!

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

yay!!! super excited to see how this turns out :cheer:

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

We got 100 miles on yesterday, and ate some awesome street tacos in the process!

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Kick ass! Andrew, do you have an AP now?

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

WOOHOO! On the road! Good luck boys, get some miles on that thing and we'll see you in a few months!

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

got in 100 miles yesterday the engine was running great no leaks and very responsive however there was a distinct noise coming from the clutch area that only got louder and louder throughout the drive we are going to have to pull the transmission to inspect but it sounded like a broken disc

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

We convinced COBB to tune him with ECUFlash :D
Sad but true. I suspect either a defective hub spring or friction material rivet failure on his Clutch Master FX300 segmented Kevlar disc.

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Just for you!

Running and backed out of the garage (pre-wash) under it's own power by yours truly:

Couldn't have had a nicer weekend for it either! Weather has been sunny and warm enough to eat lunch outside both days.

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

Those evo 9 front bumpers make me horny

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

^That's the SE front lip that makes aaaalll the difference.

Champagne power!!!

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

<3 the SE lip!

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

This car almost makes me wish I would have bought an evo instead of my talon lol! Great looking car! And I'm super jealous of the weather down there!

Re: SE take two! Err, make that three!
 

I think the two holes that look like fog lights tighten up that bumper beautifully and really make it what it is. and yes the SE lip is tits as well
