wonder if this accounted for the extra Si in my blackstone report.

also did hte plugs, though the PO mentioned having done them recently. glad i did -- the entire right bank was hand tight! wtf?!

No drone. It was $1500 shipped. Took almost 2 months to get here.

Cleaned her up and took her for a drive.

Ehm3 · 05-22-2024, 08:50 PM

Installed the Eventuri Plenum and Intake, I actually like the mix of matte and gloss in the engine bay. Thoughts?

Wow, good looking parts, I never would have expected something that nice. Alibaba makes me cringe and cover my wallet with both hands, but now you have me re-thinking this. What made you take the risk on that kit? Do you have a sound clip yet?

Nice look!!

I have an alibaba valved too, stainless steel, complete set, 4 resonators, no cats. paid $1000 shipped. absolutely improved my feeling comparing with previous setup (stock except for OEM Mod).

I'm struggling to get the left tips aligned though.

Project Sky is getting the lightweight treatment in full effect.
Follow the build on IG: @screamer

Shout out to Owen okusa, Gabriel dogbone, and Josh lemanszcpm3. These fine gentlemen inspired me to get carbon doors for my car.

These doors are from MK-Rennsporttechnik and are very unique. The rear doors especially do not have a rear split glass section like the OEM and other carbon doors on the market.

Enjoy the pictures:

A few new and refurbished things received today

smokinjoe64 · 05-23-2024, 05:37 PM

Decided, and ordered NRW fuel filter.
Makes sense, since just replaced 8 new Bosch FIs + discovered a great 15% sale [3rd party 'authorized' vendor]

maligatork9 · 05-23-2024, 08:45 PM

Got the roof re-cleared 😬

lynn · 05-24-2024, 12:38 AM

Bought personalised plates from the previous owner, finally arrived today and went and got the registration changed over.

I think its amazing the difference re-clearing does to the yellowing.

Something I will probably have to have done one day. Don't have any chips, but do have a slight bit of yellowing under bright sun light. It's not something that is going to magically get better or stay the same unfortunately.

There definitely still is some slight yellowing at certain angles in direct sunlight. I was hoping it would be completely black even in the sun but the chips are gone and I think they got it as good as it was going to get. Only had the car for about 3 months so I don’t have a comparison to a brand new roof. Here are some images in direct sunlight.

Just over $1400 including new front and rear window seals which needed to be replaced also. Got the work done at Maple Auto Body in Burlingame CA.

That seems very reasonable!

januza · 05-25-2024, 02:56 AM

New rod bearings and got the front crandled cleaned as well.

panda-R · 05-26-2024, 12:32 PM

I put the classic chrome kidneys back on. They're beautiful in their own way.

Scharbag · 05-26-2024, 07:38 PM

We debated on the OCD of this photo. I figured we did good with new-old-new-old-new.

Regardless, a great group of cars and an awesome morning.

This car is just such a great ride.

Happy motering all you champions.
