Thanks!

Hi Dave
Yes I did venturi delete and ran AOS line. All highly recommended. Gets rid of messy hard pipe tree. Biggest problem I had was loosening bolt at front of intake. The hard pipes make it hard. I had to buy 1/4" 13mm socket as my set only went to 10mm and 1/2" won't fit. Even using 1/4" was still tricky. Nice thing is now hard pipe tree is gone, removing intake will be a lot easier next time.

I'm always hearing "I drive daddy! I drive!"

Little does she know she'll be getting an electric Porsche for Christmas...



... I'm sure yours will be the same way!
Very cute, I have two toddlers (boy and girl) and they love the cars. I can't get them out of the garage lol.

Talking Cleaned out my garage!

Cleaning out a garage for 6 hours straight in 30 degree weather with wind chills isn't always fun, but it is when you've got a goal set in mind; in this case, to get my '84 in the garage before serious snowfall.

Here's before:


Had a couple buddies come over and help out, and hot chocolate was had, and some memorabilia:



And here's the end result of our frozen work!

Put some gas in the tank and drove it for a little bit. Goes in to storage tomorrow Purchased a 1989 Volvo 240 DL yesterday for $560 from some lady who wanted it gone! It'll get me from point A to point B this winter. Cant complain!

Looks good Douglas, but I don't envy the work you'll have to do to keep it looking good.

This is from last week, but...my 944 was classin' up the joint in Autoweek.





Bathroom reading FTW!


Also, we just finished a LeMons race at MSR-H. Fourth in class! Not bad for a team assembled to do this for the lulz.
