yea i can help anytime just let me know a day in advance.
well it is official....ive been delayed by a week thanks to my "buddy" who has my downpipe. so it will be next week.....you guys still in?
hey john you dont happen to know this kid with a 4 door red cavalier, it lowered and he like wears a saturn t shirt all the time?
hmmm, i dont know him, but ive seen him driving around quite frequently.....
i have the slammed black one on polished 17's thats parked at pep boys (my second job....)
ok, we are on for this upcoming weekend, if anyone wants to help, let me know.....the more the merrier with everything I have to get done....
SO_hardcore, i can tune your car if you want, but i dont know what I am tuning for (what you have done....)
Let me know.
i just need like a basic tune to get a little more fuel and tweek a few things, but anyways what day this weekend, and time. you pick.
that is going to be all weekend, all the time, when would you like to swing by? im sure ill have something in the works that needs an extra hand....
me and my friend could stop by friday, cuz saturday its going to rain and sunday im going to the car show in moon.
i didnt know moons car show was going on this weekend.....
anyways, I wont be getting into this until Friday evening, about 5 oclock ish. I would really like to get the motor out friday so saturday I can install the LSD, MSD, alum. rad, and re-install, then sunday get the fuel pump(s) installed and tune.
But Friday night would be fine with me. we can talk about tuning your car, I must say its hard to get a whole lot out of a N/A tune though, unless you are planning on forced induction in the future....
yea im going turbo over winter. but yea friday night would be cool pm me your address so i can map quest it. I can probley stop over saturaday too once im done powder coating a few things.
pm sent.
thanks for the help (tomorrow and possibly sat.) I know I am having trouble getting people together for Sat. cause theyre all workin. So Friday night and Sat. are the big days I need help.
I'll be doing nothing thsi evening so I can give you a call and stop by... I work until 4:00

That would be awsome...
Feel free to come on by and lend a hand. I get off at 4 myself, then I have to go pick up some bolts and harware I had to order in.
Of course I am still missing 1 thing I need which is a weld flange for a 38mm wastegate.....if anyone has one, I can replace it next week, but it would be much appriciated.....
thanks again, and look forward to seeing you all this weekend...
Hey John how is the progress looking on the car?

Well it was going good, until I hit a big snag with my turbo manifold....
So right now, I have the engine and tranny still out until I can get the manifold straightened out, which is hopefully today....I'll be going strong all this weekend to get it done (as well as putting a new bed on my truck....)
should be MOSTLY done at least by the end of this weekend....
Thanks for checkin in.
