Tell me about it. I believe the phrase is "just smart enough to do something really stupid." You start out approaching everything like piece of magic you don't want to screw with and eventually you're like "let's see what happens."

I'll figure something out thread-wise;

Brettus - the exhaust ports were cleaned up but not enlarged that I am aware of.

There isn't much timing change on the exhaust but they are 'enlarged' as in the funky bend was smoothed out.

Yesterday was this...

THEN, my fuel line almost popped off on the freeway - lucky no fire....HAPPY FREAKIN MONDAY.

This is after they flooded my motor and ran the car out of gas trying to restart it instead of calling me to come get it..... NEWBS!

Today is a bit better - my front yard view has improved some.



Now need to ensure the fuel leak is 100%, tune once Hymee's package comes in the mail, put on 600 more miles and then it's game time.

Damn my big fat hands! I can't get to the fuel rail without taking the UIM off..... a 2 seconds fix turns into a hour long job. Where is the engine carnie when you need him?!?!?!


Anyone have any ideas without me taking the UIM off?

/\ I learned a good trick last time I put mine back on - put the two pita bolts by the firewall in their holes BEFORE you place the uim in place ...
