    Installed a distributor. runs evey time now...

    Looking for a hot stumble/almost stall on hard throttle...

    Lit myself up on #4 plug wire... The distributor is definatly working. (OUCH)

    Soldered 2 wires back where they were cut and spliced in to, a bad job as it fell apart.

    Ive had the beast about 2 weeks and dove it a little as I am trying to sot out it's issues.

    I've been collecting bits and pieces over the last year or so. There are some Volvo turbo and Saab turbo parts in there somewhere.

    I'm pretty close to figuring out a setup that replaces the stock air filter box with an aftermarket cone filter. I'm trying to see if I can come up with a setup that can be shielded from alot of the hot air under the hood.

    Went to an off hiway 50 mile poker run yesterday. I got the job manning check
    point one 18 miles out. That in itself was fun but a 900 polaris razr led me out
    to the check point...Festiva sideways and on his butt all the way out..coming back
    was just as much fun!!
    Washed the car and going to our snowmobile club banquet today, at the snow park on
    the south border of Crater lake snow park. Tri-tip smoked and on BBQ...fun fun fun!!

    Yeah I think your right!
    What did they charge you for?
    I would expect nearer to $100, for 2 tires, mounting, balancing, and tax.

    I wasted an entire afternoon of quality working time that should have been spent working on my bp/hyg swap in my shell, instead I was forced to move it yet again to another location. With so many delays my deadline of ohiostiva is falling way short. still waiting on swaintech to send me bad my b6 pistons for my turbo car.

    Painted my wheels black, prepped the engine bay for black paint, redid the battery hold down with two eyelets for a cleaner and easier remove and replace, and put a lid on the "battery box cold air intake".

    That's the difference. Rice is trying to look faster/etc than you are. Function IS form, not the other way around.
    Exactly.

    Major Bummer alert. Went over to pick up the supposed EGT at the scoutmaster's house, checked the engine. It's a valve seat munching 1.9................. Boooooo. That would've been waaaay too easy to get a running donor car for free, apparently nothing is going to work for me the first time on this car.
