Busy day

Today was awesome, starting at 8am with Jimmy yelling my name from outside my window. Interesting way to wake up, it was rainy as crap so what better to do than play with the car? Todays project: Recheck Valve clearance, change oil to Royal Purple 15w40, and whatever else I'm not too lazy to do.





First we had to get our wrenching gear, go to your local Thrift store and pick up some fresh threads yo.


Very bromosexual Garth Brooks T, matched with overly intense Gundam Wing Shirt...







I'm not a father, but this shirt is awesome...




Hella hood T, gangsta Pac-Man...



Please don't tickle me if you see me wearing this...



Settled on the Gangsta T / Gundam combo aka GGC...







Diet Coke is clinically proven to improve valve clearancing skillz...




Sweet action shots...



Rotating the cams...






Drained the oil cooler to get the last of the old break-in oil out, that thing is huge! I forget how big it is sometimes (That is what she said.)



Cleaned interior, mounted fire extinguisher



Then I pulled out my stickerzzz, a lot of these I've had since my Japan trip or before. I've always been too lazy to put them on and then regret where I put them lol. I have more I may put on but I just slapped on a few for today.




"All you need is Ca$h" Right?

Sorry!

Our bad about the lack of posts lately, we've been kinda loaded with work and side projects. I've been doing some tuning on Whitey and we finally finished it today, right at the 1000 mile break-in marker I was hoping for. I'm getting it Dyno'd this Saturday at Modified by KC. I'm excited to see what this thing makes as its been an interested machine to tune. To give you an idea of the car's efficiency my Tomei 555cc injectors reach a peak of 76% duty cycle......on 10psi/T25. WTF! The N60 MAF also reaches a peak of 4.6v out of 5v! This thing is retarded. Also my aero is on back-order :-( , hopefully it'll come in before May 8th. I'll post pics and dyno charts soon!
