Well, I got everything put back together after my wastegate port job. Amazing, it runs! I replaced the EGR with a block-off plate and installed a K&N filter in the stock airbox. I'll run that until I decide to fab a TID and run a cone filter. I also did a long overdue coolant change. I've had the car since March, and who knows how long that crud was in there. It was yucky--almost black. I flushed it out pretty good and refilled with Prestone.

I bolted up the HKS downpipe, the Bonez cat, and a little 45 degree downturn that a local shop made for me. It's LOUD. I drove it around a bit, keeping an eye out for cops. I didn't see any, and fortunately none heard me.

I can't wait to run it at the strip on Sunday to see how much faster it is. I plan to have the new fuel pump and the FCD in it by then!

 

sweet ! let us know how she runs.... should be just a little bit faster

 

Youse guys will be among the first in the world outside of Richmond to know! I'm hoping it'll break into the mid-14s. I'm wondering if I should put the new Yokohama's on the rear? Will they bite better than the old Dunlops I have back there now?

 

i guess i have no idea all i can say is. lower the tire pressure to 15psi and launch hard!!!!! bang every gear you will do well young obiwan
