Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer

So I made the BOV recirc last night and went for a drive and the car drove like a champ, decided to do another loop on the highway (about 2 miles round trip) and got on it a bit on the highway and I hear a POP and the car stopped making power.

Of course I think "first time I give it more than 50% throttle and I blew up the engine... should have waited for the tune moron" but I keep my cool and pull it over. I take the keys out of the ignition, put on my dorky head lamp, go to the trunk, take my hood rod out pop the hood, put the rod in (yeah that's what she said!) and start looking around. Of course it's fucking cold and windy so this made it a bit uncomfortable.

I see the recirculate pipe has popped off, well shit that's my problem! No big deal just put it back in and drive home... except it won't stay in. I start looking around the car for things I can rig it with. Window scraper, nope that won't work, my GF's blanket... that's not going to do anything and I don't want to get yelled at, my electrical manual for the car... nah, a 1' wire... maybe? I start figuring out how to make the two tubes stick together with that... but it's gauge is too thick and I can't tie it enough to make it stay.

I start to look around again and what do I find? My dinner for a few nights that spaz brought over... party size three musketeers. So I sit and think, well I have two of these left... I GOT IT! So I grab them from the back seat and make my way to the engine bay and I look at the recirc tube back to the intake pipe and look at the two musketeer bars and proceed to stuff them in my recirc tube so that they're snug.

I start the car and drive home, life was grand and I'll always have a candy bar on hand now.

The End.
