I have boost!

[Emilie@GZP]

oh dear sweet turbo spool, how I've missed you!!!

My 91 stealth tt, that I inherited from my dad when he passed away about 4 1/2 years ago has been sitting in a corner of the shop for probably almost 5 years now, collecting dust.

Hans surprised me about 2 weeks ago when he started putting an engine and trans together so we could take it to BRG. Well, we finished it up tonight, and I can not express the sheer joy this car brought me tonight.

We got a one mile test run, blew the y pipe off, popped that super back on, tightened it down, and home we went. We live a mile from the shop, and a new camaro tried to race me just as we were turning to head home. Gave it a good romp, and stayed with him. Boost was set a bit high..... Damn 15 psi feels good!!!!

[IcelandGTO]

Yeah!

congratulations Emilie

She hasn't responded to this thread because she has been driving it non-stop.

[EvanH]

Pretty much. I am posting from in the stealth now, we are stopped for dinner about 2 hours or so from home on our way back from BRG. we put over 1000 miles on it. A few minor issues, bad pcv valve and a boogered 3rd gear, but otherwise runs like a champ. Slaughtered the dragon in 2nd gear, winding it out to about 6k because I refused to use 3rd. LOL

So you guys didn't have the tennis ball mod on the car? :lol:

[Emilie@GZP]

No tennis ball mod. My y-pipe was installed properly, gasket in-tact. ;)

After cruising with this car for 30 hours or so I can say it's definitely one of the cleanest cars out there. Probably beacuse every stop Hans jumped out and started wiping any spec of dirt off it. :p

"what is Hans doing out there?"

"cleaning the bugs off"

"we still have 8 hours worth of driving"

"yea..."

:lol:

[Maximal]

Did you guys get into bugs once the sun went down? Right now the front of my car has more bugs than paint on it. I can see Hans making you pull over every 10 miles to clean them off.

:lol:

[Emilie@GZP]

There are almost no bugs on the front of the car at all. And no... he didn't clean any off since that last gas stop :lol:

We hit rain.... no bugs.

[Maximal]

Yeah, we missed the rain but hit the bugs...not sure which one is worse. The roads were pretty wet still though.

[Hans@GZP]

It's pretty bad when you screw up your upper back from cleaning the car too much.

[AdamVR4]

If you had a good relationship with your Dad I have to think that any time you stop and think about it, when you're in that car you'll get chills... If it was special to him it must be really special to you. I can see why you're excited :)

[Emilie@GZP]

I started tearing up on the drive. I know he would have enjoyed the trip to BRG, and Hans and I both agreed that it was an appropriate way to get the car back on the road.
