Why you gotta **** talk me bro?

Jesus Christ! My 3" has trouble fitting! At 4" you'll probably just make it. That's if you can manage to tuck and bend it into place!

Believe me, I know how it feels. Been there, done that.

I remember way back when you were trying to fix a problem at the start of this thread, and we helped you along, then when you had it fixed, and you were ALMOST done putting the car back together, you decided "im going to do some crazy *** **** that is going to be complicated as hell and is going to eliminate the possibility of my car being on the road for at least another month"

That's when I completely lost interest in this thread until someone changed the name to WAG, and I decided to have a look at why the name was changed - I realized it was because of your coils....

It sounds like you've continued to ALMOST have the car done several times, and decided to take your project a different direction every single time. If that's the case, I'm quite glad I stopped following this thread - there's NO conclusion to any of your problems if you don't at least get to go drive it for a week or so between projects. You are the equivalent of a girlfriend who loves giving ********, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I'm at the point where I'm about to ***, she decides that she has to run to the grocery store, or she's late for work, or something of the sort - and she doesn't even realize the conundrum she's putting me in.

Faefucker - put the coils back in the box and finish what you're doing - then go drive the car for a week or two - then put the coils on..... FFS

Wait I am confused. You mean you are allowed to enjoy a car and not always cry that it is broken? **** I have been doing it wrong.

Heheh part of this whole build has been to learn how to work on a car and how the hell one works. I've always wanted to know how to fix my own **** and count all the go-fast bits as education expenses.

Thankfully my goal with my car is not to impress anyone but myself. Ignorance and inexperience has been an impediment to that goal but I'm getting close to being satisfied.

I gotta say it fooger, you are responsible for your own boner. No one else will lave and care for it like you do.

That excellent bit of life advice dispensed, here is my new updated master plan:

-Have -12 valve cover bungs welded in for catch can
-Finish intake mani gut
-Rip transmission out of the car, tear it to pieces and replace my murdered synchros. I will be doing this with the oversight of slo_sc3 who is knowledgeable in such matters
-Install coils- Seriously gays. This isn't going to be that hard.
-TUNE THE ************ WITH 50/50 WATER METH. ACQUIRE ALL THE BOOSTS IN THE LAND. ATTRACT SMALL CHILDREN AND DENIZENS OF DORKY CAR FORUMS UNIVERSEWIDE TO MY BOOSTMOBILE
-make engine bay look pretty and SS braided line all the rubber ****, get rid of stupid cold air box and run everything direct

If he keeps doing projects there will be less posts about how the car falls apart when he drives it, since it will be done constantly anyways.

This is why I stopped fooling with mine. tune is good, setup is fine. I get to drive it daily when the weather is good without worry.
