lmaooo. i wanted something that i can take on and off.Since i'll be swapping out this POS SkunkFlew Throttle Body soon.


..............

and i also relocated my Valce Cover catch can away from the BOV like i had it b4. ( my fear was that it would fill up and the BOV would suck up oil. )

So i moved it close to the battery and made a bracket and bolted it to an existing 10mm bolt hole.


B4 ( can was literally 2 inches from the blowoff valve)

not really, i been having a fucked up year man!!

*went to DR and my wife's Uncle's father slips, falls and hits his head and dies 3 days later.
* My daughter got a feaver in DR and i had to use my bankcard to pay the Doc bill, and it compromized my card, and some asshat spent about $800 from my checking account.
* My daughter got the flue, so did i, i had a 103* feaver, and now my wife has it .
* i was called to a meeting lastweek for my overheads to tell me that there was going to be a layoff,my staff went from 7 to just 2 people ( me and another). The work load is now insane, hence i haven't been online in a while.

---- just has me in a slump. I kinda put the car on the backburner for a bit. But materials for the cage will be ordered soon and hopefully some progress.

Hang in there, man. There's a saying I'm sure you've heard....when it rains, it pours. That really sucks about your pa-in-law. Dedicate this year's racing to him, and kick some serious ass.

Thats crazy as ---- man... We had a fucked up end of 08, if it makes you feel any better...

-Met a new girl, same day, lost my job and clutch went out...
-Had to leave the car in a parking lot, someone tried to steal it, and fucked all kinds of ---- up...
-Wrecked the new girls 07 Tiburon w/ 6k on the odometer...
-Girls grandpa died days before Christmas (so they had to cancel Florida trip, and head to Arkansas and take care of the funeral and grandma)
-Had to go pick up my girl early from Arkansas. 775 mile trip, hit a deer 10 miles from destination (in the rental w/o added insurance), ran out of gas 5 miles from...
-Still couldnt find a job 1.5 months later...

But I finally got the car running again, found a job, getting married, blah blah blah. So I guess just keep your head up. ---- will come around. Cant stay fucked up all the time, just cant go dwelling and stressing on ---- you can change or control.

Good luck man. I love the car. Shits clean as FAWK. Get that ---- done.

A friend of mine had a T4 Full-Race ramhorn manifold and a T4 divided houseing .60 trim turbo(which i will post for sale soon, since it's a lil too small for my build, but would be perfect for a nice mild street car.Will support 500-550whp) that he asked if i wanted to trade for my T3 topmount manifold .

i'll be converting the 40mm gate flange to 44mm, and get the manifold coated. ( Geoff is taking too long to release that divided houseing manifold)
