uhm if you mean translation he means... he can't answer whatever question you asked because it shipped overseas. I'm guessing he means he can't tell if it shipped successfully.

ty adrian. I wish i had the *&%#$%^&*( cradle bushings so i could hear the thing run in the car. Oh well though, you can't win them all.

yep those are real common here and even in the same hives as the red ones, and i knew those were paper wasps, no idea the red ones were too though

you all can keep the damn red wasps, they're so aggressive is what gets me. The guy beside us keeps honey bees and I haven't even seen one of those yet (they are less than 20' from the fiero) but these damn wasps continue to fudge with us even after the nests are gone. btw, i threw pics of the spectrum up in the pixtures thread

painted spectrum...

yea thank god thats the 2.8 and not the 3.8

i've never seen them before here, so i had no idea

and here you go sean...this is what you do not want to see on your oil pickup.... this is what the crank looks like, we actually removed one of the bearings before i took this pic, the other half is still on the crank (they slid on top of one another...

here's a pic of one of the bees that's been killing me. if someone could crop it that'd be awesome.

bee stings on the damn knuckle are the biggest PITA EVER, i can't even turn a god damn wrench now

sean, pics of the spun bearing are being uploaded just for you

eh if you want to risk it go for it, might be something that haunts you for the rest of your life though (if you get caught). I don't go for all the moral bullchit though. not like you have a bunch of epiphanies once you hit 18 that makes you an adult and ready for the world.

Rob Bradlee of pennsylvania has scammed me over the 15" Fi Q. It's been like two weeks now and not a word from him but he has signed on to the g20 forums yesterday. I filed a claim with paypal and I will be taking other actions shortly. At this point I'm overly pissed but we all know there's a gamble with online transactions. If I get Aaron's approval I'd be more than happy to post his address and phone number here for everyone.

well, rcb is scamming me, still no word from him

pucking chit

they should be up now i'll get pics of the spectrum tomorrow as i'm putting in the motormat

Ok the update for today...painted the spectrum black so it wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb. Disassembled the 2.8 and discovered the source of its knock..spun rod bearing, but i didn't take any pics. I got the water drained out of the trunk and put the new plugs in the 3800 as well as got the headers wrapped. I couldn't find my rubber gloves in the dark so i did it barehanded....yea the wrap is fiberglass and my fingers are itching like crazy. after i finished that i was covering the engine back up and a pucking wasp got me. That makes 4 stings I've had in the past...3 days? now it's pic time... rear side of the engine.. crossover pipe front side of the engine. I stuck the stock shielding back on just because the starter and a/c will be directly under the manifold. and i had to show off the sc

bees:4 Me: ~8

disassembled the old 2.8 and found it did in fact have a spun rod bearing. Most of the gaskets were gone in it as well. managed to get stung on the damn knuckle again, this time left hand. Did get the exhaust wrapped though, uploading the pics now so expect an update soon.

i'm guessing db drag

lmfao...i just got another spam friend request on myspace...i actually clicked to view the profile (i usually read them for a laugh) here's the good part.. " Im on this other site that allows all type of pics and also my webcam is live while im on it. Just click here to sign up to this site.Make sure you look for my name Raw07Uncut" ok now this is supposed to be some uber attractive asian chick...would you really ever want to see "raw07uncut" get naked? god knows she's packing something

going to have them powdercoated?

i have to move back to bburg this weekend so it probably won't be running until december when i get my next break. of course that's not drivable running either. A lot of my necessary parts didn't arrive as planned, all the stuff like the spectrum made it here on time though. i need my cradle bushings, water hoses, and axles to really be close to finished.

here's pics of the spectrum firewall on the engine bay. I only put a little on the sides, and about a 2mm layer on the engine side of the trunk, 1mm on the trunk side of the trunk. The actual firewall got a good 3-4mm layer (thicker in some areas) since that's really the reason i bought it. sorry for the crappy pics but i found another wasp nest and they didn't like me taking pics so close to their home so i didn't even notice i had the camera set for the super close pics(note how the up close stuff is in perfect focus). I'll take some better pics when i go to drill some holes in the trunk for water to drain from last night. Firewall... Left side of engine bay... Engine side of trunk Trunk side of trunk, firewall, and sexy reflection Same as above, minus the sexy Overall shot of trunk/engine bay showing the right wheelwell Shot of trunk showing soupy mess from last night's rain

pics of the deadener up soon....the pics suck cause i had to fight off two more wasps
