I went to change the exhaust manifold gasket on my Falcon and one of the bolts broke off in the head :banghead. There's about 1/8" of the shank leftt. I can't get it to move with vicegrips though, so it will probably still have to be drilled out.

I put the manifold back on just to see if it would leak (since the gasket is only 5 bucks why not?). It leaks worse now than it did before

I did get the throttle linkage fixed though, and the neutral safety switch installed, so today wasn't a TOTAL loss

**plohip** · 02-11-2007 10:09 AM

Installed these on the SI yesterday, plus camber kit and an o2 sensor! Have to do the alignment and change the oil today.

I wish.

I fit fine in the 914, 6'0 265 FAT.

Working on some electrical issues on the 914, then the Megasquirt goes on.

Well, I picked up my ABA block today from Mike. I screwed up and wrote down the wrong phone # for his new phone. I am an ass. But I did get to go check out two of my buddies IT cars, one of which owns a testarossa.

Heres some pics. The blue one is a $16K car, the red one was $3900, the redhead was about $40K.

Andy should recognize the red IT.

**Neon Washer Nozzle** · 02-12-2007 12:03 AM

My old Integra was the same generation as that blue one. The B series likes to rev, but it needs some FN torque

All in all I'd say you have a mad tyte JDM combo.

Are you still thinking of making the Fox into an IT car? I bet a MkI would make an awesome IT car as well.

I used to know a couple of people who ran IT in '70's Civics. Those cars KILLED in IT because of the way they are classed. They didn't really have any opposition

**vw_jason79** · 02-12-2007 12:39 AM

Im thinking of using the Fox for IT well really PT in NASA, cause of all the mods. I just wanna do it for seat time, not really so much competition. Now all my friends have IT cars I want in. But the blue one going to be in SCCA IT and the red one is going to be in NASA Honda Challenge.

**elRey** · 02-12-2007 01:03 AM

Got 3/4 of the way thru splicing an AEG ECU side wiring harness on an AZG engine and engine side harness.

**vw_jason79** · 02-12-2007 01:08 AM

hey av8r, Do you have an e30? If so I need to check part numbers with you for an ECU I have for an e30. I just wanna see if it works.

Yeah, the way that most racing works is you buy the rulebook and build the car according to that. Almost every sanctioning body was different specs, especially when it comes to rollcages. And since its a friggin' pain to alter a roll cage once its built, most cars are built for one type of racing and thats really all they are good for. I think that in most forms of racing you also have to keep a logbook, if those cars came with logbooks you might be able to find out some of their history, maybe how competetive they were.

This is what you were talking about for the G60 swap right C?

**pineappleking** · 02-12-2007 11:36 PM

day 1 of dealing with air cargo, the insanity that is the crappily labeled streets around the airport, and the stupidity that is customs.

r32 bumper is here, now to just fill out all the gdamn paperwork

**Neon Washer Nozzle** · 02-13-2007 06:50 AM

I had to deal w/ Air Cargo once... it sucked. Sucked so bad that I wish I had paid for extra for real shipping

who did you use? Crap...I got some stuff coming in from Forward Air

martin air, theyre pretty cool and were helpful, but this queen mother beotch at customs seems like shes gonna make things hard

**quadmasta** · 02-13-2007 04:44 PM

I've shipped arcade machines with Pilot Air before. They've got good prices.

If you need freight on the east coast, R&L Carriers is usually the best, I think they go west 'til Texas.

Forward Air was the one I used. I went to pick up my fiberglass hood, they put it on the bottom of a pallet and they had piled some stuff on top of it, made a crack in it. I was less than pleased

The fiberglass hood was off of an IT racecar BTW. No ricey "panda" crap or anything

**VWRedcoat** · 02-13-2007 05:09 PM

Had a hole in my Heater hose to head, so i took it off, cut right before the hole since it was right near the entrance to the head, and im now using a hacksaw to cut that dumbass tab off of the clamp for the hose!

got to love mk3vr's

**NeedyGTI** · 02-14-2007 01:30 PM

Well, she's running. Neil you are amazing and I'll be buying you a gift (it'll be something good). I was gonna tell you first but you weren't on IM. She seems to be running better than ever. Just a few little bugs to work out and all will be right with the world. I'm so excited right now, I'm about to go for a drive. Have a good one, everyone!

Was it on the tranny side?

Oh and Justin welcome back to the driving side. I hope to have my jetta back up after I get the head back from the machine shop next week.

Another head I had shaved only had a height of 5.228" when I mic'ed it. I know the throw out limit is 5.22" so its gotta be shaved like crazy. Anyone know the stock height of an 8v head? The bentley doesnt say and the guy at the machine shop told me 5.265" which means ive got .037 off of it. But he didnt seem to sure.
