With my luck I'll be the first person to ruin a forged BP by freezing rather than with power/detonation

Coolant is very sweet so it's probably got antifreeze in it. I feel better now.

That's the ethylene glycol poisoning talking.

(edit: either that or you put Mountain Dew in it)

I briefly considered changing the title to the venereal disease before opening the thread.

Too warm for 6am. It was 84 at 5pm last night but we have a cold front today so it will only get to 77.

Its just more of you to love bby.

​​​​I don't really drink soda at all, but when I do, its Coke Zero. It usually shows up mixed with jack, rum or bourbon.

This evening I found a random set of heat range 5 plugs in my tool box (iirc NGK BKR5E) so I swapped them in and removed the Denso IK22 (maybe heat range 7?) plugs I had been using with the turbo. I tell you what, the idle sure as hell sounds a whole lot smoother. We'll see if she picked up any pep tomorrow morning.

I just finished reading through this entire thread and I have to say, this was the most entertaining thing I've read in a long while. You are a comedian.

Did you smog the car yet?

Why in the world would you do that? There are so many other productive things you could do. Like, I dunno, ********** or something.

Its a coping mechanism. That and drinking.

Pretty sure EO2K is like me, his street car has always passed smog. His clone race car is strictly for off road use, but is almost an exact clone. It is easy for people to get confused sometimes.

How the **** do you guys do that so quickly?

also, I discovered last night by precious ID1000s have been sitting in an open plastic bag in a tool box in my garage for the last 4 months. How screwed am I?
