- 14point7.com el cheapo kit wideband used in a closed loop lean burn setup in conjunction with eCtune
- My beater is dead except for short trips across town due to clutch/engine issues, driving the gfs car and she is getting progressively pissed so the clock is ticking and this will be done PRONTO
- ---- BAC and the ---- *** pistons he ripped me for, and his refusal to make things right
Currently the bottom end is assembled, the head is at the machine shop and due back next week, I have the ZC gearbox and .702 5th but am looking for an Si FD, 14point7.com kit is working and tested good but not installed in the vehicle, and Tony Cote is a sack of lying ---- as I have the FS thread where he sells the fucked up detonation scarred 75.5 mm pistons "because I am too lazy to send a block off to get overbored" and then a week later is selling a 75.5 mm overbored block.
Anyway, I don't have pictures of anything and no real intentions of taking any pics in the near future. I imagine I'll manage some shitty cell phone pics of dubious quality at some point, but no promises. I was counting on HMT ---- talk to fill the void in the interim. Just one thing... make sure it's quality ---- talk, none of that Eclipse ****** vs 420A ****** *** soaked gum flapping, got it?
