Finally....

Well as most of you know by now, my car has had more problems then S2Kracka in his duluth days. (too many women too many problems. LOL jk)
Well yesterday i picked up my car from the shop after getting the timing set. and when i was driving it i had an exhaust leak so i put a new gasket on that from pep boys. (felpro)
So heres a recap of the past months...
-Fucked up the tranny, clutch disk, throwout bearing all replaced (note to self and others, next time i take out the tranny, make sure all of the above are good before putting the tranny back, took it out 3 times in a week)
-Replaced the slave cylinder
-Numerous bolts coming mysterously unbolted
-Coolant being drank by a gremlin
-Tranny bolts being broken
-Head Gasket being blown
-Exhaust manifold gasket blown
etc....
Well after all of this, my car is running like new. I dont think this has ever ran this good. It pulls to 20psi (holding off on the boost until the dyno) amazingly fast, and runs like a champ with very little timing being pulled. I cant believe it but it finally seems that things are looking up for this car. (just hope that this isnt the calm before the real storm)
Anyways i thought i would just post up my progress. its time to start upgrading again, so this weekend the Magnus Intake mani will be going on as well as the AEM Wideband O2 sensor. WOOT I also managed to get my money to Magnus just in time to take part in the Free Magnus Fuel Rail deal they had going. Dont know when ill put that on but its always good to have extra upgrades for the future.

Great to hear about it all Tom. Hope the thing puts down some nice numbers on the dyno.
