Well im still in Sicily. One more week before we head home. Broke the plane yesterday in Malta. We lost an access panel and inturn it chewed up one of the props pretty good. So we waited 13 hours in Malta waiting for parts. We were able to temp fix the prop to get back to our detachment site. And today the maintenance folks are spending the day replacing the old prop. Fun Fun.

Ok went back to Malta on saturday evening and guess what. The plane broke down again. This time a different motor was experiencing compressor stall. With a jet engine basically like a severe miss with lots of back fire. can you say 10 foot fireball out the back of the motor? So we had to spend the night and wait till sunday eveaning because we got locked into the middle of an International Airshow. Ran the motor up again for further troubleshooting and the problem was gone. Very strange we thing the problem was too much water ingestion since we were in the middle of a deluge. Man has this been a strange detachment.

Hahaahaha,

NICE!!

Put a type-R sticker on the Renault. Maybe that would help

BTW, How do those flowmasters sound? My resonator shield is rusting out plus I got some other issues with the exhaust so I may change it.

I'm home I'm home. Damn it's good to be back. As for the flowmasters they were just what I was looking for. They got a decent amount of growl durring acceleration and mellow out while cruising. You can still here em though so some people don't like that. But that's what I was looking for. Just don't make the mistake I did and try driving with out some sort of tip extending the exhaust past the bumper cover. The sound was great but deafening after five minutes.
