yah ive put 700 KM on my car since i got it back on monday night tues day... i even took off wensday to go drive around all day!! and today i was supposed to go to the track n get my 1/4 ET but i ended up working and it ended up raining! any how my car seems to be running super rich now as aposed to lean... my AF gauge is wacky to say the least but im getting alot of back fires and some very very loud ! but its running good and i still have to increase my boost i havent had the time or space to test the car fully 120mph comes up qwik now and it takes awhile to stop with out fading the brakes out to badly !

any way ill keep eveyone posted on the progress! i should be picking up another 240 for DDing this weekend so i can garage the CA18 till the days off work! only problem ive havd so far is top rad hose sprung a leak ~

well today i put the car over 800km... drove it all day.... driving down the street and i heard a clunk then felt a few bounces off the bottom of yhe car and look back only to see somthing bouncing out from under me !!! i was like OH shlt ... i turned around to see, and it was and adjustable wrench! LOL .. i have no clue where it was but it came out of my car somewhere! also ive been losing various other nuts and bolts as im driving along..... today im goin to get under teh car and retighten eveything up just to make sure... i found out what fell of and it was the top mounting bolt and that inch thick spacing washer that goes on the FMIC kit ... also i lost a backing flat bolt that holds the bottoom bolt on the alterator ... ooops !! my exhaust hangers broke off to... not from the muffler but from the chasis... i crawled up under there to inspect and the chasis is trashed ... im goin to take it to get estimates to stop the rust and clean it up and weld in some sheet ... but i think im going to have to swap into a nother car.... its a damn shame the car is nice every where else but the rear left is really really bad !! can even see it unless you under the car with out the muffler on !
