That's some cool tape you got there. Also, wouldn't mind having those ARP studs.

New wheels would do the car wonders
Took the right door panel off my Fiero. Broke a shit load of the pins that hold the damn thing on. Fuck. The left panel came off and went back on fine. I greased up the door latch mechanism and lock mechanism real nice though, on both sides. Does anyone know about engine work on these cars? It pretty much shat out a rod and I need to rebuild it.
Replace it with the pontiac 3800 series V6.
Definitely considering that, but I'm afraid it would be much harder than just rebuilding the 2.5. Right? Also would it be cheaper to rebuild the fucked engine or just replace the whole thing?
It's my valvetrain lol. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/623593/4-20-1011-019.jpg[/img] Replaced the headbolts with ARP headstuds so that I won't lift the head with the new turbo. Also installed my revised lifters, that don't tick anymore. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/623593/4-20-1011-026.jpg[/img] And my new valve cover.

Haven't worked on my car today, too busy working on [url=http://bradley.uirpg.com/index.php]my new blog[/url] and the big Update #1 to my game There Are Robots. Been trying to set up a personal blog for years, finally decided to do one. [editline]21st April 2011[/editline] merge fail :(
I have to go tear some exhaust off a Junk yard Dynasty today. It's rained all morning, but the suns out now. I have no choice it's got to be done today because my drive for my license test is tomorrow. D:
Never mind. Did what I should have done in the first place. Got a drill and drilled through the pipes where they connect and put a screw through them.

Pulled off the throttle body to see what kind of shit had built up. Had to take a razor blade to even start to clean it off, got that as clean as I could get it. Anybody know a good way to clean an intake manifold that has a good millimeter of build up throughout the whole thing? Also put some lead clips between the top of the gas pedal and the end cap of the cable to act as a spacer. Say goodbye to an inch of nothing when I hit the throttle.
Got a tachometer with a rev counter in my car now, i feel awesome :) media'd for big pic [media]http://i.imgur.com/qfe7e.jpg[/media] ^^ the tachometer has to be proxy-aligined (or somethin) .. next week ^^ so yah :D
