My car runs like poop down a baby's leg, and I'm just so sick of it I haven't touched a thing in a couple weeks.

I still need to fix my boost leak (just been lazy, only takes a few turns of a ratchet or screwdriver), I need to get my boost controller installed, exhaust leaks fixed, and the last few weeks it idles very poorly, if I hold the throttle steady when sitting, say, at a light, the rpms jump back and forth like from 2500 to 2000. Throttle position stays the same, Karman stays the same, o2's go haywire, etc. No idea what that one is. And for the past week and a half, I've gotten P0300 - Random misfire detected.
GG DSM. So one of the first things I think I'm going to try, break out the dremel, get the screws in my MAS out, and put those damn honeycombs back in. Stupidest mod I ever did, and even stupider (are these words? Don't sound right) that I've gone this long without putting them back in.

I need to drill and tap my lower i/c pipe for a boost source to install the boost controller, and I need to clean the inside of my car out and reinstall all of the interior panels. I just haven't had the energy or desire to get all of this done.

well shummy, i know when i first purchased my car the honeycombs were not in there and the idle was doing the same thing yours is doing -- i got another mas and put it in my car w/ the honeycombs in place and the idle was fixed -- never did it again -- so im guessing that will help out there -- and i wish i could give u words of encouragment and movitation but i dont know what to say besides -- GET THE F*CK UP AND GET YOUR CAR DONE! lol

there is that better? :D

If racing will be done this weekend, it will be here (http://www.v8eaters.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=183). :) Since I'm going to be in Cinci this weekend anyways.

My car is the opposite.

Honey combs are OUT and my car is better. (but this is because I have no AFC to fix my 4th gear wall slamming fuel cut!)

Well, most important is rolling the fenders and getting the rear camber corrected, then getting a damn alignment. I want to drive my car to Cinci, but I'm not if I have that bad of tire wear.

Jeff, I can help motivate you. When you get home, turn your ass around and get it aligned. Then, when you come home again, don't even step inside the house unless it's to enter the garage. Then, get the tools, fix your shit, have a beer/dew, and get ready to play some CS. You have about 2 hrs of work on the car, and you could get it done easy with our help. Just ask man, just ask.

can't skip CS, match night. Fenders will be at 6 or 6:30. Still won't have the exhaust leaks fixed, since I have no welder, and the exhaust will be hot, hence why it's not done right now (don't ask, kinda long story).

I'll have courtney make a webpage for you like he did for Zach..only this one will be a clock for "how long Jeff's car has run like shit" and photochop a pic of baby shit running down your leg.

Fenders Rolled, rear Camber corrected. Alignment after work tonight.

Tonights list:
Alignment
tighten clamp on coupling from turbo outlet to lower i/c pipe
Remove screws from MAS so I can put the HC's back in
Try and rig up my boost controller for a temp fix.

change to last post.

no alignment. Damn sales meetings, didn't get out of work until 6:15, the alignment guy leaves at 6. Pushed back to Friday, hopefully no broken bolts, or my trip to Cinci is shot.
