i think i am going to start with the basics. replace the thermostat. check the cam timing. reset the cas. clean the mafredo the oil pan gasketset the spark timing. and fuel pressure re adjustedhopfully that will work any bugs out of the system.

well i got the new thermo stat in pulled my plugs and they are dirty. and the engine was liek i nsafety mod and dumped tons of fuel in it. so i have the plugs out letting it air out. going to throw some old plugs in just to start it and see waht it does.

i cant get the damn ecu to go into diagnostic mode. ever since i changed out my chips. i didnt disconnect the batter when i did it though and i wonder if that would affect any thing i had my key off. but i am not sure. i am emailing scott to find out,

my dad is using this down time to take the chance to buff out my whole car. so it is going be super sexy

yup greddy prices went up for all of their parts and no shops are getting any discounts on greddy any more. so most shops like mine are not even gonna bring anything greddy in anymore

i wonder why greddy would do that. it seems like it would hurt their sales. but maybe they are hoping they get more money that way. i really like there parts but thats a rip.

Lookin' good bro, but why not run smaller tires and try to tuck them bad boys in? You know it would look sick.

Don't even use the "Idaho roads suck," excuse. It's so cliche these days. lol
