I might, it will help get stuff sold quicker so I can finish stuff. Plus I forgot I finally have to pay taxes by the 15th which takes out a large chunk of money. I make just enough money to get taxed like hell, but not enough to get in on any of the tax breaks. Either way the inter-cooler is still on back order so I cant get the car running until I get that.

By the way, your ECU is ready. I just need to test it quickly in my car.

Going to modify my harness this weekend maybe. Jon will be in town to get his car. Have to install a cat on it and touch up the tune.

Tired of painting, cutting, installing, caulking, and touching up baseboard. My house probably has a mile of that shit. Ugh.

Haha yeah, none of it worked. I have a -3an banjo fitting and a -4an inlet so I had to buy a -3an to -4an adapter so it all plugs in together. Stupid but what ever it was like 8$ and should be here Friday and I ordered the crush wahers I needed for the water lines at the same time so I'm finally all set.

Sweeeeet. I can get that when ever.

When the motor gets pulled I'm going to finally relocate the fuse box to behind my seat and make the rear seat delete like I've been meaning to for the last 2 months.

I still want that tranny. How does it shift? I want to do a rebuild on it, to teach myself MT's.

Its never had any grind issues and it seems with a weighted knob the crappy notchy feeling while shifting is completely gone. Its funny how that stupid knob made the car much more enjoyable to drive.

You need to take it out for a spin thursday to check out the sweet OEM short shifter too, I think you'd like it. Takes like 10 minutes to make and I have 1 or 2 spare shift rods.

I've been wanting to make a custom short shifter out of stock parts. My idea is to take spare shift plate and turn it into a 5mm thick spacer (rectangle with 6 holes). Then add 5mm to the shifter between the pivot and the lower bushing. Roughly stock height, new ratio can be calculated easily, and rewelding the lower section in a non-straight manner can adjust shifter position.

I have a spare plate that I could probably shave down in the mill to make a spacer plate thing.

That's cool and everything but I've gotta ask you why? Not satisfied with other shifters? Too much free time?

To each their own.
