Im finnally getting around to finishing what I started 2 years ago. (yes this time for real, I have proof, I swear) the short end of it, is that Im heading to good ol' maryland to meet up with one of the orgs best builders. where still waiting on the parts, but Ill get to that.
I have a bit of story, that I wish to share, as its actually a pretty crazy adventure, but for those interested in the build porn you can just scrool down.
Story
if you have followed my progress (not quite sure why you would of) you would of seen that two years ago, I bought a manifold off of some canidan guy off of ebay. it was basiclly nothing special for about a year and a half, I was stuck in a crappy job making just enough for isurance. I would save up buy a part, and get yelled at by my parents for being broke again.
I didnt care. I was one step closer to my dream. I was on hear everyday, talking @!#$, and drooling over my next part. manifold turbo guages pod oil system. sensor, intercooler, it just kept getting bigger and bigger. about a year ago, I was done with my part list, I would just stare at the bok were I kept everything, and would smile.
ok mabye one pic.
see im smiling now
although you might see my fmu in this pic, I was really against going with an fmu. my personality was to always do it different, I made a post, about using an safc, that changed everything. I wanted to talk about what to do, and how to use the safc, when scarab steped in he opend the door to the beautiful worl of the MS. needless to say I got sucked in, and put my turbo project on halt.
what I did for about 6 months, hey at least I documented it
proof that I spent 7 straight months
but you cant tell me this wasnt worth it
as you can hear the birds, it was just about summer, I had my ms hooked up and running up uber mad hardcore like. I had time to hook up the turbo, but I was worried (for good reason) I wanted to actually enjoy my MS. I wanst sure if I was gonna get to play with it, when I was done.
the summer came, and I was at the beach, I figured it was now or never. so I went for it. what ensued was the begining of the worst part of my life. the project started out ruff, and was nothing but a trail of bricks from begining to end. a project that was supposed to only take 3-5 days, took me a month. what was worse, was that I proved everyone right. I busted my ass for the first time in my life, and I wanted to make sure everyone knew it. I told everyone about my plans, and everyone told me it wasnt going to work. not for the reason it didnt, but for the sake that it was a cavlier, and there was no such thing as a turbo cav. every inch of me was cut scared and bruised, but on the tenth of august, it turned over and ran. I had proved all the bastartds wrong..... sort of. It was a shoty turbo kit, with a bad oil leak. a bad tune. and charge pipes that woulndt stay hooked up, and some jack ass decied to steal my intercooler right off my car which ended me up where I am right now. the oil made a mess, the exhuast (or lack there of) made noise (picture death but in noise form) and my charge pipes, made the car run like @!#$. see the MS is an amazing tool. fact is you cant beat it for the price, its a direct competitor to any standalone out there. but if its not reading the sensors right, and the user is only so good at it, its gonna Fuuck your day up. yeah my day was bayd.
but you know what, I didnt care, I had a turbo cavalier. I was the king of my world. and for a very small time, life, was, good. I would drive by people and let off my loud ass blow vavle. (hks ssq
). I mean, so, yeah maby they couldnt hear it, becuase my exhaust was straight jacked, but hey I heard it and there expressions were great.
I had the car running like this for about two months, I would have to fix the charge pipes, and tune the car before every trip, but you know what. I still didnt care. I HAD A TURBO CAV THAT I BUILT. however my parents did. they were pissed, I mean like get out of the house pissed. I promised them that a solution was in route, and the honest to god thruth was it was. I had set up a play date to hang out with phil (QBEto you pnewbs) to work on the car. so I made the half hour trip up and we got started. however, I made a descion that changed everything
I told phil that at the rate we were going, we were only going to be able to fix one thing. ethier the pipes and rotate the housing, or the oil, and the pan. basiclly it broke down to a cleaner car and parking in the drive way. or a car that could hit boost right, and run good, and finnaly throw my ass back in the seat............................really did you expect me to go with option A. yeah it was pretty sweet, on the ride home. I would step on the gas, and it would hit boost and go........what a concept. not only did I have a turbo car, but it was finnnaly running right. In fact it was running so well, that the car was actually cooling down way to much. it kept droping below the warmup temps, and dumping fuel. so I figured the solution was to just get on it.......smart right......................................BOOOOOOOOOOOOM. with one puff of white smoke my car died. it was the worst feeling in the world. my body chilled, and I colundt feel my skin. I called phil, and we limped the car home on a crappy tune and three cyls. when I checked the plugs they were covered with oil. not only that, but there was combustion gas in the burst tank. diagnoses, blown head gasket.
the first trip was to gm, they had the car for about a month. they kept trying to fill it with fluids. and crank it. for what evever reason the thing woulndt start with out sprak plugs and this small black box hooked up to a long cable. hmmmm.
after they had had it with my car, they demanded it out. thats when I got my first break. my instructer said he would have a look at it. so I towed it to my school, and it found a home for another 3 months, while I got my life together.....yeah that exploded 2. after that I found a freind who was willing to harbor it for another couple of months.
so here we are. my life. now you know the entier story. thats it, there were many mini games and side missons along the way, but that was the main quest. Fast forward to now. as you probably figured from the title, I have a big gun on my side, and I think Im finnaly going to get my car back. it feels sureal. like its impossiable to happen, Im just pryaing
anyway on with pics
