OMG NO Traction!

As we all know, my stealth has been down since last September due to a ghey ass oil pump which left me with a lot of bearing material in my oil pan. On top of this, some little bitches around the neighborhood decide to vandalize my car. I already told myself that if this motor ever went out on me that I would never swap in another sohc. This left me with only one choice tt swap. Well today started DAY ONE in the process to get everything back together and running for the summer. I pulled out the seats, carpeting, and center console to get rid of all of the left over glass shards. Also pulled out was the automatic tranny computer and the main wire harness out of the car. I got the 5-speed shifter base sand blasted to get rid of all of the rust. I then laid a coat of black primer down on it and then reassembled. I just got word that the new piggyback and fuel pump have been shipped out and are on their way to me. A sad day last October...   |

As you know from physics, torque = force * distance so the farther from the center of the wheel that the rim is, the more torque and power it will take to turn.

Can't wait to see where this leads to.
I can't believe all these little whipper-snappers disrespecting and vandalizing. I heard Peter's 240SX suffered the same fate on the passenger side window. Gotta start scheduling dates and we'll come over to help you out with putting your car together. So just let us know! Then if we see some little punks snooping we'll just beat the snot out of em... just for fun... he he he...

"Eat and drink what you like. Living in America is apparently what kills you."

Haha Thanks man! When Peter called to tell me what happened to the 240, I think I was more pissed off than he was. I think I scared most of my neighbors after what happened. No one even speaks to me anymore. Don't worry, there will be beer and pizza for the engine install party! |

Used manifolds I picked up last winter.  After being cleaned & coated by Justin @ GrimmSpeed Performance in Saint Paul.   Used turbos that I need to clean up soon.  |

Not bad, you think he will be our sponser? We should have Cher ask them since he works there.

I was talking to shannon about asking him. It would be cool because I still need to get the exhaust housing on those turbos ceramic coated. Shannon still needs a few of their subie parts.
Then you could coat your manifolds when you do your clutch job. If that ever happens!
