I just went from a airbrush site to this forum. Got my photoshop itch on. Was going to include more graphics, but lost my inspiration as my wife flashed me.

thats the best part this isnt costing me much its a sponsorship
for the amount i drive the car might aswell have some fun with it while i can
tune will come after i rip the motor apart and sort some issues out first
RE: WInter Plans>>>>my OFFICIAL build thread - GFXjamie - 09-27-2012
dont think im coming down on you for this, but more as a friend. If you got it all done right the first time, you would be further ahead. Why do you need to rip motor out again? let me go over your set up, come down on a weekend b4 you put the car away, and as long as there is nothing wrong internally, we will have that thing running like it have never run before. Remember, all it takes is one or two small things done wrong in order to make a car feel or act like there is something seriously wrong with it. Even something as simple as an incorrectly routed vac line can cause serious running issues and from our conversations over text, it wouldn't surprise me if there were some small things that need to be addressed.
A side note...
Just from a personal opinion, you should never let a company control the parts on your car, regardless of whether they are free or not. Once you agree to those kind of things, you are bound to go where they want you to go to show it off and in the end, not only are you required to do these things for that company, but you still have to pay for part of the set up in the end. Do it on your own dime and your own time and make it fun, don't make it into a car show work schedule or you will lose any passion you have for it
RE: WInter Plans>>>>my OFFICIAL build thread - drunkinmonkey - 09-27-2012
I should reword that. It's not a sponsorship like that its a few friends helping each other out
RE: WInter Plans>>>>my OFFICIAL build thread - drunkinmonkey - 11-28-2012

lol thanks! i know the focus isnt a very good platform for an easy wiretuck like a honda or VW but ill do my best to do a little bit at least. unless i hire a china man to get in there and rewire everything and do a full tuck for me!!
RE: WInter Plans>>>>my OFFICIAL build thread - stupica1 - 12-06-2012
Wire tucks mad easy, it takes lots and lots of patience, buts its so easy. oh and lots of electrical tape haha. I just did mine, just label your clips, so you know whats what and its smooth sailing. should take a weekend or so.
