      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

            • Sweet! The nice thing about your setup is the turbo is super easy to r&r. It's probably easier than changing the air filter on my xr2. Lol. Now that you have insurance it's time for a longer video!

              • Lol yes it really is easy to pull the turbo, I may not take a video tonight simply because it'll probably be dark by the time I get to it, but tomorrow should be no problem for a good healthy vid

                    • I think i need a new clutch :lol:



                      And this video is for you Charlie, it's a bit longer of a video

                      The first real drive for my Festiva, clutch is slipping and something is wrong in the front end, but it's on the road


                      Now that i've actually driven it a bit further, it still smokes like crazy, it just takes a higher RPM/boost level to create the nasty smoke cloud behind the car, i'm thinking the turbo will need a rebuild anyway

                        • well i'm not too surprised about the clutch to be honest, it gave me some issues at the start of the NA setup

                          As for the suspension, i may have a tire out of balance possibly, otherwise i just gotta jack it up and see whats up

                          • It sounds so mean!
                            Also, what is your crank vent situation?

                            • Ya I just love the sound of it haha

                              As for the crank case, all I have is just the stock KL pcv, I haven't heard much about the probe guys having issues venting the crank case pressure though

                              • Is it vented to atmosphere on the other end?
