i got that similar message from an ex when i dropped my 1j in, and all the little weekends spent putting in coil-overs, and going to garage sales, oh, and spending couple days a week at the drift track. In time i grew out of it (not wholly) and now i have a gf who wants me to go to the track... strange how **** works. Great job on the build... i am impatient and if it took this long, i would have given up. I did mine in 3 days, and over planned everything. Keep it up.

Probably not.. He's making up for lost time with the lady trying to smooth things over.


I've heard it from a few of mine. I don't let it bother me. They can leave the same way they came in. It may hurt but at least you'll move on..



BTW UPDATE THIS ASAP

Spent a few hours this past Saturday working with Ryan on the car. She runs, Ryan just needed to button up a few little things before taking her for a good shake down.

I have been driving to work for the past 3 weeks just takin it easy on her. I am trying to build my bank account back up so I can go get her tuned soon. I have basically stayed out of boost, maybe 1-2 psi because I couldn't stand to not hear the bov. She drives awesome, no leaks, no hiccups. Power steering, AC, and all accessories work fine. Tranny shifts smooth at least now before I can throw some power at her. I cant wait to get her tuned and on the dyno and look at the numbers.
