Polished up my exhaust prior to reinstalling it.


Passenger side cat material removed.


Driver side.... driver side material was barely 1/4 of that removed from the passenger side.

Gas mileage has returned, engine temperature has dropped to normal levels, and the missfire issue is gone. Next to fix is my oil leak, which I believe to be my passenger side valve cover gasket, as it's leaking to cylinders 1 and 3 now.

hey just got to reading this thread again my neighbor has the same a car a completely emaculate white, black-leather interior its beautiful. I hope that someday you won't have any more problems with it (if that day ever comes :roll eyes:). I don't really know much of anything about the mechanics of cars but i love them anyway my personal favorite is the new Subaru impreza, which they finally took the hatch-back form which the outback-sport has had for years  :).

Lol, second pic looks like what my cat did before I put a eliminator pipe where it used to be.

i have always seen D: as a spooky face. other references may be "scary", or face you use after getting killed by an amazing shot.

That is if it can make it back and forth 5 days a week. xD

and no... v.v is a sad face. xD
Being a good racer in Halo isn't just about getting the best times. You have to know where your teammates and enemies are, and most of all... how to be crafty! XD -nods-

Oh... and "v.v" = sad face.






Props to Plixity for the first sig, Slayton for the Season XIII trophy sig, and Jane for the banner! Thx guys! ^.^

Havnt updated in a while, thought this was worth an update.

Last week I went to the dragstrip and got several passes in, fastest being 16.7@86mph which due to altitude and air density translates to about 15.3@93mph at sea level. I have videos of the runs, but you'll have to pm me for them. Had some pretty bad VTC chatter before running some 107oct VP100 race fuel, then after two runs my VTC chatter disappeared entirely.

Also I got new seats and tires, rear tires are now Bridgestone Potenza RE01-R 225/45W17 140AA



Driver seat has fresh skins and the passenger seat is original but in great condition. My old charcoal ones were busted up.

Ho boy... seats was my last update? Murf...

Shortly after the Z got dyno'd again and was showing dangerously lean numbers, too much air and not enough fuel and had to stop racing the car till that was fixed. So the next month I got this lovely doohicky.


Installed this thing and got my AFR down to respectable levels.

After that went to a cruise/meet with the Albuquerque guys to the top of Sandia Crest

Short video from the run up there.

Went to a large community meet the month after, took hundreds of photos. Believe I posted a thread with highlights here...

Video from leaving it. http://www.youtube.com/embed/0yLLlaw7XAw

After that I got ready to move with an alignment and moved.

Unfortunately going through Lubbock Texas we needed to stop and get gas... we passed the first station outside lubbock thinking we could get gas later on, well we stopped at the next station... and missjudged the entrance to the station. It had a 3" dip followed by an 8" incline... my front bumper hit it, compressed and snapped.








zip tied and good to go haha


Finally got around to painting my rear bumper and skirts.

New brakes

Theeeeeeeeen a few weeks ago I hydrolocked my motor going through a huge puddle that I mistook for being a small one... new pavement, after a rain, fun.

So she got torn apart, water purged, oil changed... repeatedly...




New plugs


What first drained out... gross!

Anyway she's parked currently awaiting her 6th oil change after putting 50 miles on the motor, then will repeat the 50 mile intervals until I'm sure the water is all gone.
