Car back together

Car back together and running (had to hurry it up for school tommorrow). I was afraid that I would not notice the ported plenum and runners and the open element CAI because I didnt touch the stock base. But I sure enough do. And with the, used to be loose and a big leak manifold to y-pipe flanged fixed temporarily till the SLP headers come in it sounds a ton better. Put some new dif oil with LSD additive, so I will have to check the spinage tommorrow and make sure both are goin. Anyway, my car told me today that it wants a name... so I was thinkin maybe, Project Time Consumption, or Project Need Sum Paint, or Project Wheel Stands In No Time, or Project Magnum TPI... Any ideas?
I will post some pics of the car and engine bay when I finish my current roll off and get them developed.
Anyone in the Kemptville area interested in doing some stupid crap (burnouts, donuts, speed runs etc.) within the week/weekend on a digi camcorder I got and sending it in to get posted in the movies section? Lets get some Ontario recognition goin on to match our new triumph over the Cascade Crew.:lala:
Later, greg

Damn, I wish I had my ride ready for school. Damn headers! It's funny, I never thought about sending in my videos. I have plenty of them with my friends and I doing crazy **** with and without our cars, none of which have my T/A, but they have my wagon and my *had* Chevette! That car was fun to drive! Anyway, Righton with the rebuilding and a name? Well, any dude out there who has a car that isn't running to its full potnetial or not running at all calls it Besse But than again, why not Christine? Evil name for an Evil car? I don't really know what to call your car, because well, it's your car! Up to you to decide!

I got video footage of my doing a few burnouts, crazy donuts in the parking lot of one of those 70s bra styled tit sand/salt storage things (hard to explain... 1/2 a football?) and alot of other stuff I probly shouldnt brag about. And I spun em a bit today, 2 tires back yay. Theres some damn idiots at Mel Johnsons....
got a mini pic of my car for my avatar thing now... not a good pic though. Its from autotrader online where i found it and is the only pic I have on comp of it (for now).

lol Acceld! What I really have on camera is....well, stupid ****. Just friends and I doing dumb@$$ stuff with the camera. Ever heard of Jackass? Cky? That stuff. We rolled a '97 Civic LX for the hell of it one day. Stuck my buddy in there with tons of hockey equipment on. Some may say thats dangerous, but he was ok

We also have us in my buds '75 Plymouth Duster, paintballing some dudes house while he was having a party! He knew it was us and he chased after us with a baseball bat, but anyway...enough of me going on here. Hmmmm, Grace? Project Overhaul? This is pretty funny, I'm sitting here naming things off that might be considered a name, lol...some of the stuff I thought of is total bull$hit! lol...what about a license plate? You have anything fancy for that?

I was thinking maybe Project Chief Bustahatch cause of the stereo.... hah. One of things that I said I shouldnt brag about involves a paintball, car and camcorder.
Man they really are acceld... When I changed my dif fluid it wasnt that low at all. It was pretty dark though. After they changed it it rarely spun 2 tires and now its back to always spinning 2. That means they didnt add the additive or something stupid like that... They also pissed me off a few dif times but those are longer stories.

I deal with one guy and one guy only at Mel's. His name is Pete and he's the parts manager. He's the shiznit. He's hooked me up more times than I can remember.

Yes, the 18 year old needs a labodomy. Pete is the parts manager, the older guy with the mustache. He definately knows his stuff.

I know who your talkin about I think... well theres one 18 yr old that died his hair blonde and the other one but neither are to bright. I went in about a week ago and asked for a price on paint and the non died hair 18 yr old was looking for 10 minutes and couldnt find crap then the older guy, pete I guess (he did have a stache) popped out and explained how I had to get the code and where it would be on my car and that it only came in tiny touch up bottles and pints in like 2 minutes. The guy trying to look up the crap musta felt pretty dumb...

I think greely is between me and ottawa... another one of them hick towns (not that Im mockin... I live by south mountain and cruzin can vouch that its no showboat of a big town).

By the way I can really feel that plenum and runner porting above about 1500. was worried I wouldnt notice cause of the intake but its pretty decent. Thinking about going with a LTR setup and just port matching everything with an accel base if i can get my hands on one. That would be a decent winter project and its not to pricy either. hopefully I can get the base and runners used for 200-300 each. If anyone sees a used set of either and doesnt want them for themselves, pls tell me! No point in going with something for the revs anyway while I still got this piece of ****, overweight turd, slow ****ting, funny sound making 700r4 anyway...

I told acceld already but anyway i went to mel johnsons for the aluminum plenum ext. for the corvettes tpi so I can polish it (f-bods are plastic) and it was 40 bucks. Not an amazing deal but its 20 bucks USD so thats 8 bucks more canadian. But those three little screws are, get this, 6.15 each. They are tiny as hell. The stupid kid actually thought I was going to order them! Screw that hopefully I can just grind the ones I have down or find others that fit cause I ordered the corvette plenum.

I was going to order a hooker catback sometime soon but before I put my system back in my car (it was in my moms van, winter ride, imagine what people that when they heard a 2 15s and thought it was coming from a 94 lumina, ahaha) I figured I would look at derands in Ottawa to see if clarion has any new ones out. So I checked and they got 2 new clarion MP3 head units coming in on saturday for $550. So if its got decent mp3 navigation Im definately hookin my lovely up with that! Later
