Hey, is this acceptable ride height? all together, semi buffed in the cracks and shit. business day is on saturday. That's whats up. And before anyone goes nit picking at the paint in person because there are a few low spots here, I'm completely happy with my FREE paint job. Depending on current circumstances things may not get re-sprayed and maybe they will. But for now, it's time to drive drive drive. I've figured out my boost problem and I'll probably need a fuel pressure regulator as well. The blow off valve was leaking air, I put the spring at full stiffness so it only blows off if I am ON IT. It doesn't run perfect, but it runs a helluva lot better, I just need a new cold pipe and maybe a hot pipe eliminating the bov completely. Don't really need it for a t25 imo.

Update

Car is now Road Legal paperwork wise once again, the car needs to get a tune or a diagnostic run on it, I am at a wits end on whats wrong with the motor to be honest with you.

The plan today was to put together my vehicle so when I drive it on the street the police don't be like. "saaaay jack, that looks like a race car, shits missing on the insides." after smog I was trying to get the car buffed so I can roll out to the hat tonight to show the car off. My brother said we will buff the car out tomorrow, he's trying to finish up that Lincoln at the shop (see previous blog entry ). Then the shop was like bring the car out Saturday.... Saturday dood? fuck, guess I ain't driving this thing nowhere this week. At least I should have insurance paperwork and stuff by next week so that's good. The car will look pretty much like this after it's all buffed up. The mirror obviously needs to get buffed too but yeah. I got the car all together around 3-4 minus the weather stripping for the door under the mirrors since I will be unbolting the mirrors for detailing day. Took the car out for a spin and yet again I have no balls from 2500-5000 rp...

90 percent together..

spraying the intercooler and lower pipes satin black. Need to get the license plate brackets made too. The car finally has glass again. Everything put back together and idling and sitting at temp. I was having some idle issues at first and I knew I heard some hissing, turns out my dumb ass left the IACC hose off hahaha. DUR. I seriously need to get some black couplers, and in a dream world some black clamps. I put the hood pin studs in, brother advised not to put the latches on just yet so there aren't dull spots around them when he buffs it. Waiting on word from west covina nissan when my parts will show up so I can finish putting the trim and stuff on. And the rear window molding so I can mount my rear wing. Otherwise car is drivable, brother was blocking the front bumper with 1500 grit sand paper (color sanding) so it will be ready to buff when he grabs his buffer from the shop. Other than that, I have an exclusive photo shoot going on for the car before I let some other friends...
