That bolt was going to break anyway... it did break twice if I recall correctly.
On the down side of things, I'm sitting here at work with my ankle all wrapped up debating on if I should go to the ER. I may have broken my ankle at hockey tonight. Don't worry though, I was still able to use the clutch, which leads me to believe its nothing - but not being able to put weight on it leads me to believe its messed up.
Also, I have seen this 8 a few times driving on Southway st and rt 30 when I come and check on the night shift... Its dark which I thought could be shinka... any Massillonians seen this random 8?

I'm only messing with ya.
Sorry to hear about that.
Do you have any bruising or tingling/numbness around your ankle?
Does the skin on top of your foot look bluish or feel cold?
If you're able to walk on it (even though it hurts) and you can operate your clutch pedal with it, I doubt its actually broken.
You probably just sprained it.

Most bolts break if turned hard the wrong way

As for my foot. I agree - Its probably fine. Who needs doctors anyway... I may be able to score some heavy duty pain killers though.

You never said whether you bought the straight pipe from RB or a resonated pipe. I think they only advert the straight one but I can't imagine you'd be OK cruising around with that.

Out in that area I know of my car, that modded BB auto owned by some dude that works at Lowes, and a VR owned by a 40 something year old lady. So is it Red, white or black?

Well, Jon found a previously enjoyed lower intake manifold that I purchased last night. So - sometime this summer will be the labor intensive project of moving most of the auxillary engine systems and lowering or raising the engine to remove the intake manifold. Should be a fun one.
Still torn on the exhaust... after much youtube research, I've determine that youtube sucks.
I'm still waiting to hear how the final turbo install went.
Doc: what have you been up to? Other than spending long lonely nights wondering where your license plate frame is.

So now on for the stupidness. You guys know how well I am with cars so this shouldn't shock you at all I don't think. I have been trying to get my airbox open all afternoon so I could remove those two flaps in there. However...I can't get the stupid lid to open more than a 1/2". What am I doing wrong?

Vyn: As for the turbo: I was actually able to get it out and drive it. However, thanks to my build date, I found I have the Mazda R flash on my ecu. No big deal really, but it means the car is running stupidly rich, think 9:1 or lower AFR. So I am keeping it garaged until I can fix that, which should be in a couple days once a perform the GReddy fix #3. I'm also planning on picking up an AEM intake from Charles during his sale he has coming up, so I anticipate the car should be running good around next week or so. It just sucks because I can tell that my 8 wants to go, and wants to go bad.
