so are you saying that TV cable is enabling a better takeoff, or you just haven't attempted one in a long time?

got my new FMIC lol huge

bought a hoist, have the motor/tranny halfass bolted up so I can fab an intermediate shaft bracket and a turbo support bracket.

Just haven't really stomped it from a stop since I put the 3100 rocker arms & new injectors in a few months ago(I had romped on the gas on the highway though).

Ok, so I finally got around to getting the pictures of my 3 days long, literally, wax job on the car. Every inch was detailed, from the exterior, to the jambs, small tiny tiny places, underside of the hood, engine bay...etc...Well, follow the link and let me know what you think! 3 coats of Liquid Glass and Maguires detailing spray, plus a base cleaner my friend borrowed from his tractor implement shop...really helped to bring out the color before the wax! Sorry it wasn't that sunny out when I took the pictures.

OMG Kyle my contact fell out of my eye when I was staring at your uber shiny TGP! :laugh:

LMAO! Thanks Nick! Sigged!

Looks real shiny, but eek! thats alot of work for a car with the paint peeling off, id get that hood repainted and color matched, it shouldnt cost more than 3-400 bucks

Since February, I had been in contact with the local auto program at South Central College, about 25 miles from me. We've hit road bumps, and he called me last Tuesday while I was working the afternoon shift, and I got his message at 10 PM, saying if I wanted it painted yet this year, I'd need to drop it off Wednesday morning LOL. I'm like yeah thanks for the warning. No ride there and back? No thanks. I'll wait. They were going to charge $250 to repaint the hood and lower valance; the cheapest any other shop in town will charge (that does a half ass decent job) is $540 for the hood alone. So needless to say, I can live with it for now.

Today I put in my new five-o motorsport C302 injectors.  WOW what a HUGE difference they make!!  The car has twice as much power everywhere, it IDLES :icon_eek: , it doesn't die anymore or idle hunt, it shifts ULTRA smooth, even though my lower motor mount is blown... I can barely feel it shift now!  It doesn't smoke anymore either!  Finally my smoking problem is solved!  The car literally drives like it is brand new now!

I also replaced the PCV valve, cleaned my throttle body, and cleaned my intake manifolds inside and out while it was all apart.  Runs WONDERFUL now! :icon_twisted:

After all this I gave it a bath too. :icon_cool:

Just got done ripping everything apart, just waiting for my buddys hoist to get this thing to the MC.  No wonder the car ran like crap,  The EGR hose from the Xover was broke in half, i knew something was going on down there but damn!   3X00 top end! gt28rs! Coming soon!  Watch out little 4t60

i  see alot of talka bout new xovers going on, how much do lightly used Jeff M crossovers go for typicly?

Definately over 300

woot!:
