Because 99 (aka what's Greg been doing since he's not been working on code)

But you don't actually work on cars, you just talk about them on the internet.

The powder looks fantastic with the 2 colors blended like that.

Someone asked me why I put all this work into the car only to put stock turbos and injectors back in. There's a number of reasons for this.

*chrome development
*budget (got married in Nov, took all the $$ away)
*originally I was building two cars. This one was going to be stock, the other was going all out

I have been passively searching for a deal on some 13Gs but to be honest I have no desire to mod the car. There's a whole different project I'm looking at taking on (non-3S) for a go-fast-have-fun vehicle.

I've got a two stage blue that is tits too. Transparancy colors always turn out awesome.

Bentley Blue over Polished aluminum.

Think the new term is "backyard hack".

IPS quad tip exhaust installed today.

Ran the car for a good 20min to go thru everything. Motor, clutch, trans are good. No leaks and the clutch doesn't drag. Trans shifts smooth so the linkages are good. Can't test the syncros till the car is driving.

AC & both radiator fans don't work though and just my luck its nothing obvious. Looks like tomorrow will be a day of poking wires with a volt meter.

Still have to install the push button start, NLTS clutch wire and hook the wideband into the ECU. All minor things if I can find my spare ECU pins...

Oh, I also got confirmation from Cherry Hill today that the strut bolts shipped and will be here tomorrow so it looks like I can finally put the car back on the ground! Got a bunch of friends coming over Saturday to help me rotate the car 90Deg so I can drive it out.
