Phew, made it back in one piece. With everything intact, at that!

I hate Toronto highways, I'm VERY shocked that I didn't pop one of my front tires on 3 or 4 different occasions. Also surprised that my strut mount didn't break and send my strut through my hood!

Not to mention the drivers, 2 Honda Civic hatchbacks were all over the place and then slam on their brakes right in front of me and slow down to about 45 mph with no one in front of them! It's alot easier to stop a 2500lbs car with 14" rims compared to a 3500 lbs car with 18"s!

And then this Montana van gets so close to me that I can't see his headlights. He's in a van, i'm in a lowered car and I can't see his lights...
So I brake checked him because I actually wanted him to hit me so I could get some new paint and who knows, maybe a 2 dr coupe? So then I move over to the next lane and the guy just stays at my speed right next to me like he wants to race or something.

Anyways, I got the stuff, I'm not locked in a trunk somewhere and I got a really good deal on it, just had to wait 4 months to get it.

I hate people that tailgate for no reason. The ONLY time I do it is when I can't get around the person in front of me, they are going slower than I want to, and they don't have anyone in front of them, meaning they could get out of the way.

I have a feeling you are going to like the end result of my engine bay, Rick. I'm very excited to get started. Just about have everything I need.

I will take lots of pics of the removal of the engine, the tear down and install of cam, intercooler, turbo and of everything going back in.

toque specs, part numbers, estimated time for completion, dyno before and after, THE WOIKS!!! A vid would be nice, but chances of having sufficient tape, lighting, sound recording, et cetra, is very slim.

And, yeah, I am eagerly awaiting the install!

there will be no dyno before, probobly not even after. possibly after, I'm not sure. Maybe i'll just make a vid of me dancing and shouting in excitement of how much faster it is? That work?

I can put together a slideshow of the install I'm sure, that is close to a vid.

I want to hurry up and get everything purchased so I can pull it and get things powdercoated.
I could get everything powdercoated now except my tb cause I don't have a stock PCM to put back in and swap over to my stock TB/MAF to drive in the meantime.

I have to find somewhere around here that does chroming.

Google helps.

A vid of you doing the Snoopy Happy Beagle Dance would make up for the lack of technical support videos. And then some. That would be viral! lol
