... man, I tells ya.; ain't no rest for the weary! I haven't kept a very sleeping schedule the last few weeks. It's all rather exciting, I managed to not get completely freaked out by the tune (blowing up, collateral damage from new physics, misc. SNAFUs that always happen...) until the drive up to pick it up.

I was cool even when he called me during a lunch; the ceramic of the plugs had degraded and stuck to the boots so when the boots came out the, chunks went in the cylinder bore. It was caught and the guys were able to get the process moving again. Stuff happens; it could happen to anyone in there (happens to myself as well: c'est la vie!). I had left a bunch of odds and ends in the wrong orientation, the charge pipes kept blowing off mid-pull, too.I had left a few notes of things I knew I wasn't sure of and dammit: they managed to get it pretty much tuned up!



Then an oil leak. They kept throwing oil through it to finish the tune and then the f*#king dipstick broke off at the top indicator hole. This damn car... (it's like I bought a lemon I DIDN'T EVEN WANT RED. but I knew they weren't going to take that seriously either). I got it towed back to my work the next day and it's full-tilt boogie now! The rest of the parts are getting lined up now... pics as I get time to upload and post!





More work coming!
