Operation turn my entire backyard into a pole barn is underway
For reference, those two center beams on the sides are over 20' Untitled by Bobbie Morrone, on Flickr Untitled by Bobbie Morrone, on Flickr I also made some more progress on the TXholdem I used the AFM that came with the car, and had a miss under load. Surprise, that AFM was bad. I used the radiator that I got with the car, went to bleed the coolant and it leaked through the end tanks. Replaced with a nissens. New PS lines STILL LEAKED so I ordered alloy crush washers instead of copper. NO MORE PS LEAKS Got the Ansa Sport aligned a little better. Tail lights that came with the car looked fine in photos but were all sorts of cracked. Replaced with a good set. The front valence and trunk lid that came with the car were in awful shape, so I had a straight valence, air ducts, trunk lid, and iS spoiler painted. I did another buyout last weekend, and it came with a genuine alpine II iS lip, so I threw that on the car. Shoutout to @E30bastard for the smoked fogs!!!! What a legend Installed good fender liners, splash shields, under tray, and air ducts to finish it off. Blower motor works well, needs resistor which I'll install soon. Wipers work as intended, shockingly. This thing is almost over the finish line! I'm going to plate it and give it a good shake down once the weather breaks.

The crew has been killing it! The color matches nicely with the house. It's intimidating making such a big decision based on a 1"x1" swatch, but really worked out. Went with a burgundy and a charcoal.

Once I'm done spending every waking moment moving shops for the next 3mo, I'm going to do a stock exhaust/header dyno comparison to get some data. The primaries are HUGE. They step to 2" before hitting the collector. This is what the data said it wanted, but real life I'm sure will tell a different tale. It's straight piped with a Magnaflow 14815 muffler. Not too loud, sounds glorious. Untitled by Bobbie Morrone, on Flickr Untitled by Bobbie Morrone, on Flickr Last edited by blue91lx; 03-13-2024 at 11:46 AM. |

maaaaan the stoke is high today. I drove the white car for the first time a few hours ago and it feels fantastic. Apparently replacing everything mechanical on a car will cause it to drive quite well.
I have to get it aligned and then have the paint guy finish going over a few things and I'll start driving the car! It's also disgustingly dirty, but can't really fix that with all the construction at my house so it'll have to wait.
