Looks like he did a good job claeaning off the 1000 dead bugs from your road trip to LV.
Went to 2 Fools again last night, they were asking where the 2nd fool was.

Hes getting that car in all kinds of places! I looked at some of his FB posts, and he totally loves the car! You got the right buyer for sure.

Yeah, he has her all spiffed up and has been enjoying the heck out of it! Funny enough, he thought the car wasn't loud enough for his tastes, so he has pulled the rear muffler, and is looking for a fab shop to make him up a piece to replace the muffler with some straight tube. Apparently even in Vegas it's hard to find a fab shop that doesn't think you're an idiot when you ask for some work to be done on your aluminum exhaust system. LolOriginally Posted by JimLev
I'm pretty sad that I wasn't at 2 Fools with you! I'm certainly a fool.
For sure! It's incredible. As I said to him at some point, "it is clear that you are the guy I really built this car for. I thought it was for me, but I was extremely wrong!" He is the buyer I was hoping to find, that will enjoy the car way more than I would have.

Man only 5 attachments allowed at a time? And uploading takes 20 years. I got like 100 photos.
Re-membered?
Yeah, it's a bummer. I'd suggest uploading them into an Imgur album and linking it here.

Love the number plate too.
Hey execboss thanks for the pics, if you resize the pics to 300-400K they will upload faster.
After each upload click on the pic, a box will open up and allow you to enlarge the pic. This works for a PC, not an iPad.

AT LAST, someone gets it!!! Thank you Chris!
Member
Due to a lack of E85 in Vegas and the few stores that carry it seem to be dropping it im gonna be switching the car over to water methanol injection in the next month or two. I refuse to drive 30 miles to get E85.
Member
Thanks for the tip Jim! Ill try that next time
Member
Gonna be a fun next chapter for this you and this car Nick! If you tune to accommodate the methanol in the water/methanol solution, the AFR Safety system in the MS3X will function as your W/M system failsafe. In which case, you can run a very compact, simple, inexpensive W/M system with good results and safety.

That is a great feature!

That sounds exactly like the thing to do with the setup im looking at Thad! Ill be running it out of the washer fluid reservoir as well to save space and money.
Member
It really is Chris! I've used the MS3 AFR Safety and W/M injection combo on one of my stock bottom end Neon engines, and it was a total beast. I finally blew up that engine through stupidly having my boost cut settings not aggressive enough and I melted a fancy pushlock wastegate line. The thing withstood rapidfire repeated hits of 29psi from a Precision billet wheel 6265 turbo before it finally, spectacularly, came apart and sprayed down a lane of freeway with oil and engine internals. Lol That car was so fun.

Alright, I don't know if Nick was planning to post this or not, because he might not think nonsensical hooliganism and tire destruction is something we like around here, but I LOVE IT!! Lol:

Thad, nice to see your car went to someone with your DNA, lol.
Member
That greater Vegas area really is pretty sweet other than their lack of sufficient E85. I'm beginning to think maybe we all just need to move out there. Lol
Well said Jim!
Member
Hell yea. Its not like ive got super expensive tires on it. Its built to be fun. Id be doing a diservice to the car and to the time Thad put in to it if i didnt enjoy it the way it was designed to be enjoyed.

Oh yeah baby!! Love how that engine roars! I need to change underwear...

He has removed the rear muffler (the large one) leaving only the aluminum resonator in the area where the right side catalytic converter was. Comparing the sound in videos now, to the sound in the burnout video I did, I much prefer the current sound too.

I don't think Nick gets on the forum here very often, and I thought this pic was too cool not to have posted in this thread (stolen from bookface, credit to Nick), so here you go:
