Oh Captain, My Captain
 

I did a thing. Kinda. Stay tuned.

Or something.

​​​​​​​It's beautiful!

You need to have Cam 2.5 swap it before you pick it up. Also I touched your car this past weekend. Had I known where it was at, I would have brought you a tshirt and left it for you.

Also I have that captains hat. It gets bitches. Bitches love BOATS.

What is the function of this thread? Have you found a way to make $$$$ from clicks on MT.net?

Let us know when you have pics so I quit wasting my time looking for them.

DNM

Rish bought a boat. That's what the thread is about. I think it is getting a 2.5 swap at Cam's house.

Yes, I gathered that. Seems to be the preferred route. I just want pics.

Now that I have your attention, @sixshooter , is your car running? What are your plans for it?

Esslinger engine?

It is indeed running now. Had to change some input and output selections to make it run. And switch the EBC solenoid to a power source that was hot in run and not always hot.

That's cam picking it up for me! Flying out to go get it in a couple of weeks.

We crossed paths twice recently. I saw aussie Mike the day he bought your setup! I'm in nj now and you were in my neck of the woods.

I'd love to have Cam 2.5 swap the car but the car was just about at the top of my budget. I'm pushing past where I wanted to be already. Cam said the motor runs pretty strong so hopefully it'll serve me well for a bit till I get the funds together to get a swap going.

Cam recommended just going a basic swap... But id really like to do at least a mild build even if it's just basic cams. Hopefully hitting 180-190 on 91. That said, In the NA/NB MT world everyone makes fun of the ecotec swaps but don't they put out a similar amount of power? I know the NC chassis is pretty amazing.

Not quite yet, but yeah... The cars there already. Just bought a flight.

What do I look like? Made of money? Yeesh!

I mean you are a doctor. So yes I expect you to be made of money. I don't want a poor doctor to work on me. If you can't manage your money, you can't manage my intestines.

How long have you had a boat man? How's your car post swap?

Fixed!

How's my car looking though? I still haven't seen it. I just know that I'm supposed to possibly start looking for a driver door and front bumper cover haha.

ne of Cam's friends is 'borrowing' the exhaust for a few tests this weekend. Even he gets to play with it before I do!

I have had my boat for a little over a year now. I have put about 2500 miles on it, 2300 of those going to and from Cameron's place for engine swap. Compared to my Mazda2 the 2.0 felt great. The 2.5 feels so much better. I am looking forward to adding boost sometime in the fall.

Oh also, this happened.

Meet Fin or Finny. Short for Phineas.... Phineas Gage.

When you get to Cameron's, he has a black boy. Expect him to push into the bathroom while you are pooping, then climb up on your lap, and give you a hug. Then he will aggressively start licking your face. I now know how gay men feel when they are rubbing bearded faces up against each other.

As a dog guy on a hairdressers car forum that has a sub-niche revolving around cats, I often ask myself how I ended up here...

That's closer to a blumpkin than I'm comfortable with.

😂😂😂

I don't consider myself a cat person, but I like doglike cats. Finny is very much on that side of things. My housemates have two cats and I can barely tolerate them. They're incredibly moody and annoying. One will run away if you try petting him and he like cries begging for food even though he's clinically kitty obese and the other is moody AF and will try to scratch and bite you if you stop letting him and has actually had a standoff with me when I tried to put away my groceries once where he wouldn't stop hissing at me. I dropped a book once and he ran over and attacked me...

One of my best friends has a cat that decided to jump up on the couch I was sitting on, walk towards me and nuzzle my face, then freaked out because I was so close and scratched me on the face and ran away. I had no fucking clue what even happened lol.

Dogs are hard during training though. If we lived together full time, then maybe, but for now this is pretty great and we lucked out!
