LOL...yeah, funny how these cars all look alike

I bought the valve, but I haven't had it installed yet. I think I will be dropping it off today to get installed.

I haven't raced anyone, but I've done some nice hard accelerations and definitely turned some heads

It's not the actual work I don't want to do, it's getting the car jacked up and rolling around on the ground I'm trying to avoid

Maybe I'll put it off for now and see if I get a chance to do it on the long weekend. If not, I'll get it done elsewhere, but the issue is I want to just take it in and wait for the 5-10 mins to have it put in. I don't want to drop it off and have to pick up the car later.

If I lived there, I probably wouldn't have to worry about it because I would actually be able to afford a house! Otherwise, yeah, I'd definitely take you up on that!

As mentioned in the other thread I have a CD43 deck wired in now



Still have to get the valve put in the fuel line. It rained too much this weekend for me to find time to install it myself. I'll probably just drop it at a shop later this week.....probably, not definitely.

Working on the wheels....Soooo much work to get the hardened crap off these things. I've only managed to finish one rear wheel and it took me over an hour and it's not even super clean. I can tell you this though....I'm definitely taking the other ones off the car to clean them. It should make it a bit easier.

A couple of pics from when I was part way done. You can definitely see the difference in where I've cleaned. I'm not looking forward to the fronts....they have more stuff caked on

I did a drive up to Duffey Lake the other day and this drive is nothing short of f***ing amazing!!!!! Pretty much from Whistler onwards is full of lots of twisty roads and not a lot of traffic. I'm sure the weekends have more, but I was able to do the drive on a week day. I think it might have been the best day I've had all summer
