How is the car running ?

 

[Three25]

Funny you asked. I was coming from a stop after looking down the road to see a van coming my way. I figured I could make it, and I was in the mood to get on it. So I lay into it, shift it to second and I chirp the tires, and after i shifted it to third, the car stalled out on me and i got ran off the road by a soccer mom. There was no way to tell what happened, I took the spark plugs out to see that they were black completely, almost like 60,000 spark plugs that've only been on for a week. I ended up paying a $150.00 tow bill, and somewhere between where it broke down and my house, the truth got revealed. The shop that did the work for me didn't use a transition cuppler coming off the turbo. Instead they just used a 2 1/4" cuppler and just secured it on there with two t-bolts. Bare mind that the turbo requires a 2" cuppler. The pipe was completely hanging off the turbo.

So, a simple wrench could've saved me quite a bit of money.

But besides that, the car's been great and I've been having tons of fun with it so far. I won a car show last weekend with it, so that was defiantly a great start. My main focus right now is cleaning up under the hood.

Good to hear. Just check all your cupplers and hoses.I would invest in a vacuum block and reduce the amount of T fittings.
