Frankly, I'm not sure what to believe any more.

Wouldn't they be finding that from the engine being assembled with moly lube? Or am I totally off?

Now that you mention it, the answer could really be that simple.

That's awesome!

What kinda FP gauge are you needing. I have a reg. 52mm gauge if you are talking about that and a liquid filled one for the AFPR too.

[CornFed2.4]

Sorry Aaron should of said something to ya that I needed one.

I needed the liquid filled one that goes on the regulator. But I just placed the order and the parts are on there way.

[C3L1CA]

Holy balls, that thing looks amazing!

[DSMINMN]

It's coming along quite nicely!

[goodhart]

Holy hellaflush! You should get an alignment scheduled after your tune.

[evotuner]

Looks great dude, im sort of jelly

[CornFed2.4]

Thanks guys. The red is growing on me know that I replaced the top with carbon

Goodheart I just dropped it for the pic. Somehow I still have about 2" left to drop in the front and 4" in the rear. But it will be raised and aligned before I see Shane

[goodhart]

You get your carbon sunroof plug yet?

[CornFed2.4]

Nope. I don't think anyone has.

[JET]

Looking good!

[turbotalon1g]

Looks great and I don't really like 2Gs, but I like me some carbon fiber.

[CornFed2.4]

Got the fuel pump rewired, turbo timer in and functioning. Gauges are also wired and working. Hard wired my 1G cas harness in to the main harness.

I reciveived my Braille 9lb battery today in the mail. Crazy how small this thing is. Plan is to put it on the k member and be done.


Also got an idea from Joel (99gsxjoel) a few months ago so I decided to tackle that to.


Just being really slow with stuff but making sure I do it right so I won't have to do it again.

FAL window ships on the 7th so hopefully I get it before the 13th.

[turbotalon1g]

That looks great!!!

Let me know if you still want that hand.
