No lol issues I am having are just simple maintenance things really, and still some electrical gremlins... that bearing came out of an engine I picked up to start another engine build. Mine is still running good. I just thought it was funny because the guy said it was a good, strong, healthy engine.

My god, lol. The bad one on my motor was in much, much better condition than that. Seems like the OEM crank is pretty damn strong, i was surprised how smooth all the lobes on my 100k crank were. Yum.

Here is one from this weekend, car ran great...but had to have it towed home :( but it's up and running again.
Does anyone have any take off slicks they are willing to sell? I am going back to Sonoma in 2 weeks and would like to see what kind of lap I can do with better tires. These Falken Azenins just don't hook up.

Well on the way home, I ran out of E85... so I went and got some gas just to make it to the pumps and the fuel pump wouldn't prime, the wideband wouldn't turn on, and it had no spark. I couldn't figure it out, and being on the side of the road was pissing me off. So I used my AAA and got it towed. Turned out to just be a dead relay.

Its the end of the season, so you should be able to get takeoff from up north for stupid cheap money. I've already seen some SM6's posted for under $200 a set, and 315 17 A6's with good life still posted for between "get these damn things out of may basement" and $100/set.

Yeah, I meant making the springs softer. It's on whatever springs those Teins come with. I just think they are too stiff. I ordered some springs yesterday, I need to get the car jacked up and swap them out. Also need to fix my leaky valve cover gasket.
