I got some bad news, good news. The bad - I started work on the 8 late last night and didn't have time to finish all the loose ends. The good - I don't know the wedding party as well as the rest of the family so I'll be ditching it to finish the 8. There's a very slim chance I can make it out.

You nailed it!


Tightened all the intake pipes. Just finishing some loose ends then the fun part of putting the muffler back in on the floor. Not as heavy as the stock one but a PITA. Then the rest of the exhaust. Fill her up with oil and check for leaks then i'm good to go.

Hope the tune is good for this Turbo.

I'm about to fore up the car. Maybe be there at 9-9:30

Edit - it's a no go. I have a oil leak somewhere. What a pain. It's coming either from top of the turbo or the oil filter adapter plate. Gotta start pulling the intake.

We cruised on down to the Toys r Us by park meadows and then broke off from there.

Great turnout this week though. Although I officially hate that sonic. I waited 20 damn minutes just to order a milkshake.

Any opposition to changing the official meet spot to a different sonic or other location? I was thinking Groove Mazda might be good with all that random extra parking they have by the entrance off Arapahoe Road, and there's a sonic right down the street.

They were there till I got there which was about 10:20.

I had a leak at the bottom of the turbo. Gasket for the drain pipe didn't sit right. Also a leak at the oil feed line for the turbo at the oil filter. Had to pull the upper intake manifold to get to it.

Need to re-tune again. AFR are not were they need to be WOT. Fun little cruise. Wish I could have really got on it. Good to see y'all again.

I may not have been caught up with everyone at first getting onto the highway but hey, I think this makes up for it right?

what did we decide on this? to change or not to change... that is the question.

as far as sundays go the only thing i know of is the Nationwide meets at the discount tire on 470.
