Started gutting the Regal, not much progress but you can use these for how dirty this POS is.

 

I can't wait to get the intake and other shit sandblasted.

If you need anything hot tanked just hit me up player.

 

Tight. I've got a place in R-Burg to get shit sand blasted, but that's a drive.

 

I'd kind of like to clean my $500 motor up, but I don't know if I want to waste the effort or not... I guess I should since it may end up being in the car a while.

 

I'll be pulling the intake, intercooler, valve covers and whatever else I feel like when I get off tonight.

The downpipe I bought a while ago is a pile of fucking shit, I'm going to either light it on fire torch style or sell it to someone that wants it. $500 fucking dollars, less than 200 miles on it and the puck sticks. Fail. Fail and aids.

 

Ohwell, did my hour and a half for the night. I'll be back at it tomorrow.

cant wait til this is done. Gonna be a killer ass sleeper kenny. Are you going to put a quiet ass exhaust on it then run a cutout on the downpipe for added sleeperness?

 

It will be quite as hell, that's how I roll.

 

Yes, it will have a cutout, but the only time it will be open will probably be Goodguys to get attention from the exhaust side whistle.

 

I'm actually pretty pissed about the downpipe I bought if you can't tell from the previous post. I wasn't happy with it when I bought it - for $500, I would think it would come with hardware to mount it to the turbo, it wouldn't have an exhaust leak at the turbo, the test pipe (aka cutout that replaces the cat) would slide over the downpipe without issue, and the wastegate puck would move freely. None of those were true.

 

I won't even get into the finish of it after less than 1,000 miles flaking.

 

It's seriously bad enough that if I do sell it, I won't expect much out of it. I really want to just bin it and forget that $500 even happened. Makes me miss Terry Houston and ATR, that's for sure.

damn man that sucks, at least with ebay dp's you got bolts and gaskets. I wouls assume that If I spend $500+ on a downpipe theyd be sending me all intall hardware along with other nice shit.

Might get a bunch of beer and start working on the regal tonight after the showing. Is any one down for getting trashed and helping me? The only way i am going to make it through all of this is finishing the car and burning the tires off where it happened.
