**scheides** · 08-22-2008

I thought about doing my radiator hoses last night, then decided MEH and didn't do it :P Maybe tonight or saturday.

I've brought turbo to the cookout for the last several years, but now I have TWO beagles and Anna's out of town...can't decide if I should bring them or not....

I had wished to FINALLY finish tuning the talon and have the cage installed, but time has just run out. So, I'll jsut bring it out as-is. I'm already assembling a new list of mods/parts for over the winter, including a new ported/polished head, better springs/retainers, cam gears, kiggly main girdle brace, and to clean up the engine bay more/paint car.

How about you leave the thing alone, get a real tune, and just drive the thing sometime before the earth runs out of fossil fuels.

**scheides** · 08-22-2008

No offense Swifty, but when's the last time you went WOT in your car? Get that thing tuned so you can have some fun with it already! Being in perpetual mod mode does not mean you should never tune it!

A//// Guy · 08-22-2008

Haha that is impossible.. Im thinking he either cant drive stick so the car just sits and gets mods over new mods, or maybe hes scared of the power that might be made if he does get it tuned.

Swifty, I thought you said you couldn't find 110 race gas anymore, so you're car was undriveable... Don't put 89 in there cause you might blow the welds off the manifold!!!

Let's see.. what do I have left?

- Interior detail
- Engine bay is cleaned, but needs a polish
- Remove front plate LOL
- Full wax/detail exterior
- Detail wheels
- Reapply front badge on grill
- Rewire driver side city light
- Install new splash shield on both front wheels

And I think thats it. :/

polishmafia · 08-23-2008

Wow! What a couple of days. Everything is ready. I just need to clean the interior a little bit. See everyone tomorrow!

twack · 08-22-2008

I have to fight off anyone who wants to put fingerprints on my car, then just wait till sunday

95tsi · 08-22-2008

Well, I was gonna show up. But, I need to tear it apart a lil bit and see if anything was wrecked when my balance shaft belt came off and was stuck on the cam gear... So, chances are, I'm out. Might show up with my friend and he's gonna be running his 1g on the rollers.

Swifty1638 · 08-22-2008

I have gone WOT actually..and it pulls decently...but it's half the boost this gas can run, and it also doesn't shift well(meaning in the next gear it breaks up, sounding like a subaru-just needs more time spent tunning up top)

I have been trying to tune this over a few weeks now, but stupid shit keeps popping up, like BnS running outta gas (now they have some) and rain, then MAP not finishing off their new dyno cell so I can finish the tune!

**asshanson** · 08-22-2008

Tonight's plan:
1. Tuck main wiring under intake mani - DONE
2. Get rid of the oil coating the entire engine bay - DONE
3. Remove silver heat shield on hood - DONE
4. Change custom flexy hose to a real lower radiator hose
5. Fix MAJOR oil leak from bottom center stud on manifold
6. Go drink with Peter

EDIT: I left my tools in Maple Grove so 4 and 5 have to wait until tomorrow.

Oh yea and I'll have Paco with me.

turbotalon1g · 08-22-2008

I moved all my crap out of the house and put it in the garage, i didn't think i would be selling anything at the swap meet/dyno day, but i have enough stuff to where it takes up as much room as sams civic, my car is ready and its gonna be.

123abc · 08-22-2008

I'm going to change the oil and filter tomorrow, and probably give it a hand wash.

As if it'll help it look any better...

**cmspaz** · 08-22-2008

I got my engine bay sprayed down with cleaner and a hose, scrubbed all the bugs off my front bumper, got most of the tar off the skirts...

She looks better than when I bought her, I can tell ya that!

But tomorrow night I'll have to clean off cone scuffs...

1QUICK4 · 08-23-2008

Fuel feed line is now broken. Fukshitpiss

Looks like I'll be rocking the Scummit at the cookout

**Kracka** · 08-23-2008

The car is detailed

**scheides** · 08-23-2008

My evo is all clean! Thanks Hughes for the help/handwashing lesson!

Installed new radiator hoses last night and this morning, detailed engine bay and finally cleaned up all the oil overspray I had from my oil feed line. Then detailed wheels, handwashed, claybared, handwashed, waxed, and cleaned windows. I try and keep my car pretty clean, but it feels SO GOOD to get it *this clean* at least once a year.
