    Installed bigger injectors Friday during my lunch, test drove it around the block (3 miles), it held 12 lbs, and kept spinning the tires thru 3rd gear, before I ran out road and speed limit. Pulling back into the parking lot, the cloud of white smoke started billowing out of the tailpipe with a sweet smell. Blew an entire coolant jackets worth of head gasket material out the first time holding more than 4 psi. Got a new stock gasket for $17, threw that in and now have to baby it (stay under 7) till i can get a cometic mls and Sep head studs.... Bummer.....

    Realigned the Festiva a few days ago. I think it's time for a professional. My mistake was going by the sidewall... different tires on the front and back. It's pretty close now and rides alot better, might need a little more. And it looks like it's still getting 36mpg.. almost 10 more than the Aspire. The Aspire is just going to be spare car for a while doesn't make financial sense to drive it much.

    Custom seat brackets made. And evo8 recaro is in. Feels great and a massive improvement in looks over the dsm seat I had in it.

    Well I haven't done it to the car yet. But picked out my new color. Kona blue. I'll be painting the engine bay this weekend.

    Switched all my clusters out into their proper cars last night finally Tried to drive Green Car in today after it sat for a couple days, but it didn't want to have much power and I didn't want to be late looking for the problem so I just brought Chuck instead. Also looked for the passenger side armrest but couldn't find it still. lol.

    You can get away with stock injectors if you have an FMU.
