Twitch de la Brat

Can somebody pinpoint the cheapest premium in the vicinity of the meetup point? I have plenty to get there, but the trip down will probably enpmpty my tank the rest of the way, and I really don't feel like testing my gas mileage this far from home Twitch PS: Just saw a fellow WCSS attendent in a blacked out lego GT.

Just hitting E-Burg. Hope I can make it there by 1:30... Twitch

Hitting a massive storm at the gorge. Lots of gray. Lots of black too... Twitch

So, just for route verification, my best way to go would be I-90 to Highway 18, then onto I-5 and hit the mall from there? Twitch

Just passing Ritzville. ETA to Destination 3.2 hours. Twitch

Speed check in Spokane by Pull and Save, right after the Evergreen exit, next to P&S. Gray unmarked tagging people with a full mark making rotations. Twitch

I am en route. Just leaving Coeur d'Alene, heading west on I-90. Skies are cloudy, with intermittent showers/sprinkles. Expected cruising speed: 72.4 MPH Large police presence on the Idaho side of things. Snacks prepped and iced. Drinks the same. All good over here. Twitch Out. PS: Thank god for rain-x

And so it begins... Was up until 2 (aka 4 hours ago) working on the car, so lets see how well I can remember my head "Rubber duck, this is Big Ben, do you copy?" Twitch

Good call Rob. I've been rear-ended twice and really don't feel like having it happen again. Ever. So lets keep following distances to the point you would if you were following someone you don't know, in the rain... Twitch

T-MINUS 35 HOURS TO TAKEOFF. Have to clean up my sunroof and reseal it redneckishly (scrap steel and JB Stick) so I don't get rained on for the show while in my car, because that would SUCK. No time to weld it properly. Fresh Oil Change tomorrow night, all fluids topped up and spares in the trunk. All my camping crap (sleeping in the car this year) and coolers should be loaded tomorrow night. I can't wait for this. I finally have a car that I will have some form of hearing left at the end of the trip! And power! 65-70mph is peak torque for the EA82T Oh and I have to put the interior back together. Rust cleanup required the removal of the whole upper interior... Twitch

Damn man... Twitch

I'm going to oval them with a same sized drill bit as the hole, just grinding out the side that needs more space. That way I only have one plane to worry about when remounting rather than multiple. Twitch PS: Or I may just build a custom intake using my old manifold.

Want to keep your rubber door seals clean and moisture free? Silicone spray and high quality paper towels. Shoot the door seams with the silicone and the wipe off the excess and rub it in a little bit. Keeps those doors free of ice in winter and helps dirt and such slide right off. Cleaning your windows? Use washer fluid in a spray bottle and newspaper. The newspaper won't leave any fuzz and washer fluid is the same stuff as windex, if not better. Twitch

Ditto. Wouldn't mind seeing you early this year Yeff. Twitch

I think it should be in an age verified "adults only" section... Twitch

Mykey, how have you been missing out on all this pron??? Twitch

I'd call it a genetic condition Twitch

I'm worried about airflow. I may end up filing off the edges of the intake when I bolt it up so it flows better, if I have to oval the holes. Twitch

I have already accounted for this in a conversation with Delta. I had a torque grind applied to my cam, which takes approx .030" off the cam lobe. In my removing .030" off my head/block surface, I have minimal adjustments to be made to my valvetrain My biggest monster is going to be the intake. Which may be getting cut down to fit with some custom piping, or I may just make a custom manifold. But thank you for the reminder Also, on break in, I already have break in oil in mind. I'll be switching to Schaffer's once Its all broken in and happy. Twitch

Possibly, but I know I'll be dealing with intake fitment issues and the compression ratio won't be much of an issue with .030 missing in total Twitch

Try an Altrom (official brand is Tama, Japanese made) from Napa. I just picked up one for $15 (ok less, but that's our retail on it ) for the XT turbo and it spec's the same. Part number is 154-0702. Works great so far, opened way better than my original 162k thermostat that was trying to kill my motor... Twitch

I know. I just had my block decked earlier this year It took a 500ft lb impact to get a couple out, and that was with a torch and deep creep. Twitch

Who said loud exhaust is embarrassing? Loud pipes save lives man! Well, in my case it didn't save the car, but damn that thing still sounds good... Twitch PS: True Dual Exhaust FTW

Don't forget to check block surface as well! Yes, Blocks can warp. Take it to the machinist or somebody who has a machinists edge and see if there's any warp. Twitch

Sooo, I used Blue Devil last night in my car. So far so good. No overheating yet. Now, since I kinda cooked my oil (schaffers) I'm thinking of 'foaming the oil on my next oil change. Any experience 'foaming turbo motors? I fear churning up some sludge and clogging the turbo feed line. Twitch
