[quote=“Nikuk,post:76,topic:37948"”] not to be a dick 🙂 but, isnt that like the third yr in a row? [/quote] yes this is the third year in a row with the same goals…reasons being: year one with these goals i wasted the wastegate diaphram. replaced it with a deltagate with the money i was saving up for meth kit and MBC. deltagate turned out to be leaky, so i had to sell that to buy a tial 38mm which i put on at the begining of last season. Then i had my IC piping done at hybrid because mine was leaking at the couplers…and paying to rent a bead roller and buying all new clamps and quality couplers would have cost more than having hybrid start over. enter loss of job… once i got a new job my credit cards were rang up so i spent last summer paying those off instead of moving forward wiht the car so the past two years i have spend replacing low quality parts with top notch parts, and this yeah I am addressing the cracking manifold and going from there. plus this year i wont have to make up a class over summer to fulfil prereq’s for fall so i can actually work full time for once and have the actual money to persue my goals. gotta pay to play, and shouldda done it right the first time :meh: ---

I first gotta figure out if I want to keep the Caddy by spring time… If I do keep it this is my list: -Have the trunk and bumper repainted due to small rust spot, scratches -Slotted rotors and new pads -Figure out how to find more room around the Northstar to re-work the Intake - Posb get new Camaro style tips -New tires for the 20’s ---

[quote=“articzap,post:7,topic:37948"”] -CA18DET Enough said. [/quote] CA18’s make me cringe… * * * gotta swap everything from my coupe over to the new car… then paint. likely going to run carbon fibre fender flares and get some silly wheels. then a 2 way diff and if my first few track outtings go smoothly the car will be caged and will enter at least 2 races in DMCC. ---
