Got some Vibra-technic mounts in from Whoosh Motorsports the other day! Due to the negligence my car lived through a mount is actually showing signs of corrosion. Rather than mess around with cleaning it and painting it and still wondering if it’s gonna snap, I upgraded. Just waiting on my Tasca order and I get the car back together again...again.

You should like those mounts, I know I like mine.

Vibra-technics are in. Also received a new DHM hot side charge pipe. The fabricator behind DHM was able to do one for me. Apparently, only God knows what happened to my original one.


Another smaller update: my original CPE intake plexiglass cracked a very long time ago. I finally ponied up for a replacement:


Finally, my Tasca order should arrive by Wednesday so I should be back on the ground again next Friday!

This is one helluva a ride.

How many pounds of boost are you planning on running when all said and done? Any plans to attend more 1/2 mile events?

I hope to run 34-36psi. I do want to attend more 1/2 mile events but the popularity and number of events in the South East seems to be waning, so we’ll see.

Just a friendly reminder. I spent mucho dinero and didn’t swap mine out for a new one. It’s the only part I didn’t swap out and my car shit the bed. Just don’t want the built engine curse to continue. 🌈

The correlation isn’t really clear for me. Can you explain a bit more? Also, I saw that you’re having an issue. I’ve been waiting to see what the problem is. I know it’s a huuuge blow to the chest and I hope whatever it is gets sorted out quickly without much money needing to be spent.

The coolant expansion tank cracked which led to overheating which caused the head gasket to fail which caused me to live Groundhog Day in Coeur d’Alene for the past 5 days.
So I was trying to be a nice guy if you can believe it.

Parts came in! She’s running good and 99% buttoned up. I left the grille, trim and fender liners out until I get the new bumper is painted and ceramic coated. I’ll be on the lookout for leaks and whatnot over the next few days as I drive her around.
