Update:

Car is still on jackstands, but the brakes are bled...

I tried pulling the EGR and oil pan... both have bolt(s) stuck in them still, but I will keep trying again soon. I rushed my friend welding and we welded in the IAT bung upside down, so I have to hopefully get a new bung.

I am currently on the hunt for Q45 hubs so I can hook up all my go fast goodies I got from Dubs.

I hope to have the car up and running by the end of next week so I can get started on tuning.

Gauges all wired up and all the vacuum hoses ran, MS2 all wired up and everything's ready to go pending my oil feed cause I pulled some black magic out of my ass and got my oil feed line stuck in my motor mount.

Thanks to icantdrift that finished up putting on my oil pan because I fail at life.

Once I know my gauges are all working properly I will make a vanity panel for it to look a bit more finalized.

Also updated the modlist on the OP

If its not one thing its the other....

Image

Was told to tighten "every four letter word in the English language out of " it to get it to connect right.... well I Hulked it and snapped the bolt and the whole time I was checking to see if the second green led would come on.

So the current situation: cant connect my MS2PNP to my laptop, which in turn cannot load the tune. Now the bolt is half way in the pnp causing the harness to stay in there.
Everything else is done though :)

I just want to drive it -.-

I think he said he hit it with 1000 or 2000 grit and some polishing compound until he felt it was good.

Icantdrift and I took my car around the block a couple times and ragged on it pretty hard... realized I put the Z32's on backwards, which led to a bad bleed, which then led to me not being able to stop very good lol.

It was pretty awesome until the coupler flew off, broke the tires loose in first and second the popped off shifting into third causing a gnarly flameball.

The SAFC did pretty well lol.

The trick is to cover the restored headlight with a protective layer. You can make this by mixing Mineral Spirits & Helmsman Spar Urethane - Clear Gloss. 2oz of each mix it very well and you wont have to touch your headlights for a very long time.

I have one, doesn't fit with the turbo.

Thinking about buying another 95 from an old grandma to see if it will solve my connection issue to MS2.
In other news I went to move the car and it had zero oil pressure. So yeah starting over from scratch.

20psi, went lean, lost oil pressure... tried cranking it up when i got home and it wouldn't crank

I was talking to a friend with a caddy and a poopra. he said he cant just go to his supra and hit it at 1400 right off the back... he has to go drive the caddy around then hit the dope a couple times to feel the 1000hp. then he can jump into the poopra on low boost hit around 1100 and if it hooks and hes prepared then he'd put it on kill and if that's good to go, he grabs the dope in that.

I want to build my new motor for 800hp, but cruise around at 450-500ish... because knowing me... I'll hit it at 800 then Ill want to turn it up, or hit it with the bottle or something dumb. I figure if i start around 450 then slowly turn it up that ill be good. So i think itll be similar on a much smaller level.

I don't know what happened, or what is going on, but she turned over and idled.
So I decided to take her to a car meet down the street. She didn't build boost but ran decent for a car that thinks its getting boost.
Also picked up a new sponsor, ASP Racing out of Tyler, TX :) I can't wait to start building my new motor especially since I can still drive her around until I finish the new setup!

Image

Her outside after putting my other sponsor plate on... (RIDING DIRTY BECAUSE RACECAR)

icantdrift and a couple more friends surrounded my car on my way there to insure that I rode dirty safely lol.
