Yes, there is nothing in the engine bay but windshield wiper motor, front brakes likes poking out inner fenders and oem subframe. My samberg lsx subframe, transmission brace and cobra 8.8 IRS cradle should be here shortly.

I put my mid pipe on today while I fixed an issue. I guess during the whole motor swap the 4 nuts connecting the I beam to transmission were loose. When I left work I noticed JAL 787 was on the taxi way. I had to watch it take off, post a video little later. On the way home my shifter was bobbing up and down. Figured I broke a motor mount. Limped the remaining 1.5-2 miles home, jacked the car and looked at the tail of the transmission. ****. 1 nut missing and I beam sitting on my autoexe bracing. Luckily found the right nut in the odd selection of stuff. Fixed.

Only problem. My car sounds like its pretty much open exhaust. Anything above 5k and I'm afraid the space station will hear me. There was no silencer in my blitz exhaust so I ordered one on the side of the road. Hopefully that works other wise mid pipe off and old bad cat back on. Or a oem good cat if I can find one for cheap or trade my mid pipe for. What brand? Idk, I got it off Sean. Some dual resonated mid pipe.

That's my night...sigh. Wanted to go work out but im an old man so bed time

I am too busy at work to do anything with my car. Long hours during the weekend and then working every Sunday. Does not leave much time for anything else.

I put my sparco seat in the car to check if my head would smash the halo and eat lunch/make car sounds. I was looking at removing all the seam sealer. Prob one of those things while I wait for more parts.

I've been working out recently, except last week cause I got all sinus cold bug sickness. Yesterday was chest and biceps and back and triceps today. Yeah little unorthadox mix on daily muscle groups. Today was great, I had a killer pump. Be honest I hate the end of the day at work knowing I have to work out. When your there and pushing those last 3 reps, feels fantastic. Arnold said when he was younger that the pump is like cumming. *** all day; gym and home.

I wish I felt that way during/after a workout. You always hear about how an intense workout feels euphoric, but I just never get that. I mean, I feel good about myself knowing that I did the right thing, but I never get that great feeling. I truly envy those people that look forward to the workout.
