I'm sure it'll make it.
Ok, I need to make plans to attend V@V again. Unfortunately if I do it will be in the E24, the '02 is just too far away.
Maybe you should put that 3M stonguard stuff on the front of the car before the trip. Or a few rolls of racer tape.
Cheers,
Ray

thanks ray. ive been working on it a few hours each day. im taking it down to vintage at the vineyard so im just putting the stock airbox and ecu in it to get it running. all i really need to do is mount the afm and put gas in it and try and fire it. but im procrastinating on that and finishing up other loose ends. i think im scared it wont run. im very close and all i really have to do after finishing small stuff like stereo install is wait for nice weather to trailer it down for exhaust work. im starting to research mufflers and resonators. id like something fairly quiet in a 2 1/2 inch. once i get it running id like to drive it a week or so to get the bugs out before i head to NC. im really nervous to take it that far and it would be pretty humiliating if it didnt make it. |

nope, im waiting on an afm gasket i lost. i dont want to be sucking unmetered air or id try it but thats all thats holding me up. should be in monday i think. im dumping fuel in it this weekend and testing for leaks. im kind of scared to try it. but i finished the interior today. the seats look really nice with all matching scheel cloth so im excited about that. i sat in it for an hour tonight listening to the stereo. i cant believe its a real car. i mean it just has seemed like a bunch of parts for so many years its hard to think of it as a car _________________

Any recent pictures? |
I dont have anything worthwhile to post up. maybe ill shoot a few of the interior. the cars really dirty and doesnt look that great right now. i actually had 6 1/2s in small boxes i built and i have them just temporarily sitting in the rear. im not happy with it and i will redo it soon. not sure how ill do it yet. im also thinking of moving the sub to the trunk as its a tight fit on the rear floor.
this would be fitting of how i do everything 3 times before im satisfied but the stereo can be finished anytime
ian, great to hear yours is up and running. id love to see more pics of it when youre ready. _________________

Dude, I have stainless allens for the steering wheel. What's the pitch and size. I'll send them.
BTW, it's looking good. Looks like a comfortable place to be.
