Looks familiar Joe. In the garage, but that won't stop 60+mph winds. Look what I found and the door was never opened. The second pic is a horizontal brace above my car. Yea...the wind is pushing my roof that hard!

wow! that beam thing is scary looking! you better check that out!

ya, that snow in my garage came in around the door when it was clsoed too!
 
my front porch had a big drift inside from one window being open by half an inch on the top becasue the snow was blowing horizontally.......covered lots of stuff. usually would not a problem becasue the roof hangs over quite a bit. will try ans get a pic up later.....
 
No big worries. That beam is supported by many others. Although the creaking sound was driving me nuts all day from it sliding in and out.
 
stayed home today...didn't feel well this morning....went out to hook up my fuel lines and guage, again, anyway because of the setup i have, the fuel line is hitting the air intake pipe and i can't line it up with the fuel rail to screw it on ....back to the speed shop for another 90 fitting!!!!!(headshake oh well, not today!

well, big day yesterday, 57 out nice and warm, for here in feb. anyway, go to crank the car over (turned it over with the spark plugs disconnected to prime the turbo with oil) and i must have flooded the engine :( wouldn't turn over! the smell of gas was pugnet. i took out the plug in cyl 1 and there is a pool of gas on the piston head (rings are good!)

the other 3 cyl weren't soaked, but the all the plugs were wet. suggestion welcomed!

i'm gonna see if it will evaporate or i'll have to siphone the gas out some how(shrug) .

got to get some new plugs too!

stay tuned, more to come!!
 
time to break out a straw. lol j/k
sucks to hear that, but it is easily dealt with, unlike what would probably happen if you didn't prime the turbo with oil. cant wait for this beast to come out and play.
