Well if I were to go for the record it would take a beating, probably nothing my stock turbo didn't see for 12k miles though.

It would kind of suck i would have to spend 100 or 150 bucks to get the record extra to have a dynosheet from the high reading type dyno so people would believe the numbers. I would only do it if I got to the 370whp on Shanes dyno.

If you're quiet then nobody will know how ignorant you are. Dave and I fail pretty big.

I am by no means the most car savy guy around, but I try to be knowledgeable about them. Can't learn if no one teaches and people on this site let ya know if you are wrong
Also....I don't think I will ever catch Lomker for biggest project thread.

Gotta love 'Style Don't take the criticism too hard, it's mostly meant as constructive. Scheides and I call each other names all the time over G-chat.

Once I get my car back we can cruise, its been down most the time i have been on this site, lol.
This is also the life of dave blog, gotta update it a lot
Honestly I am just super ancy about my car because it has been so damn long since i have driven it. It is getting close to me getting it back and I think about it so much i update it more now, or find reasons to update it, lol.
At first I was only trying to update it with major things. But going a little crazy without a fun summer car when its nice out.

I'm down to cruise.
That bolded statement is why I got back into DSMs, I was without a car for 8 months or something and my brother had his del sol and shit so I was living at home and like I have $1k to spend what can i get I looked at everything under the sun and well inside I wasn't done with DSMs so i think that is how it all happened.
So you are just waiting on a turbo now?

Yep, as far as parts go. I am going to leave work early and go up to DB to look at my new block for fun. It helps me cope with my anxiety of no cool car, lol.
Not sure if DB has started putting the new rods/pistons in yet but I will snap some pics.
I am getting less and less confident FP will have my turbo ready any time soon, but trying to beat my old 353 stock turbo number would be interesting. It will be a good comparo I think, few bolt ons and E85 vs full bolt ons/headwork e85. See if the extra mods do anything on the stocker.

I think I saw it on a stand yesterday, reminds me of "So fresh so clean clean".
I also saw the chunks that came out of your oil pan. Not so fresh or clean. haha.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Boom:
Look all 4 pistons...so this is what the engine is supposed to look like.
So I spoke with Danny...and here is where everything is at.
They said they are waiting on Manley for my pistons still, they were supposed to there like 1 or 2 ago. But once those get there they are going to put the new rods/pistons in.
Tranny is done and back, they said it looked perfect inside still so they just did the diff pins.
The head will be done next thursday or friday as well, they had to order all new valve seals so it took a bit longer. Danny said he has called the guy a few times and apparently i am top on the list, but who knows, lol.
So its all coming together.
