well, it seemed we had to take the o2 sensor out to get the lower heat shield off. then we said fuck it, and i cut the heat shield off with my...knife...

the other 2 picutres show the near 1/2 quart of oil that came out of my intercooler when i pulled my LICP off. we got 2/3 bolts holding it on, but it was too dark to really get the third one out so that will probably have to wait unitl tommorow.



Jason (Boostb4broads) came up earlier today to give me a hand and we made random stuff/food runs, but we got stuck on one of the manifold bolts. Brian (nouseforaname) swung by and put some elbow grease into it and got 3 of the 4 out. brian broke 2 sockets and an adapter trying to get the bolt off with no luck. So hes gonna swing by on monday with a portable compressor and some impact shit -so we(he) should be able to knock it all out in a couple of hours.

my shorts spilt down the back -again
and im missing a chunk of needed skin off my thumb.

other than that, it was a nice start

thanks for helpin guys

 

He was trying to take the 02 off cause he wanted to take the DP off.Then it was discussed that he should take it off from the mani which came to a halt when 1 bolt would not budge even with liquid wrench soaked on for a few hours stubborn piece o shit.

Bro i dunno what ya woulda done if i didn't swing by with some tools an jacks. Oh well it was entertaining an i got to meet some fellow dsmers

 

i probably would of just looked at it a lot.

entertaining def. sums it all up. haha thanks man

 

so, whats the story? yayyy nayyyy

 

If you work on it tommorow, Sat, i can swing by and help ya, ive done many a turbo swap (well 3 more like it) PM me if you want my number, i have tools and a jackstand and shit so let me know...

 

we're stuck on one manifold bolt, and probably a downpipe bolt. craftsman tools wouldnt hold, so unless ya got some heavy duty shop stuff, i wouldnt want you to break any of your stuff either. you're more than welcome to give it a shot though

the car is on jack stands now, hah

 

man you need to got to the auto parts store nad get this stuff called pb blaster. forget about liquid wrench it sucks, pb blaster is the only thing i use. you shoould be able to get those bolts free then.

 

the car is pretty much dismantled john except 1 bolt, so nayyyyyyyyy
