I've bought a lot of that stuff and never installed it. My garage isn't worthy yet.

Rock on man. Those braces are headed your way this week.

Diversion today.

Had taken the Exige S out a few days ago and she started running rough. I had just changed out the Mass Air Flow sensor, so suspected something was amiss.

Reset the ECU and tried to let it recalibrate, and still ran poor... hmm...

Did some digging and fount out that the intake boot clamp had slipped off the coupling. Had the wifey apply some pressure to get it fully seated and reclamped the intake. (4 hands were better than 2)

Changed out the plugs and added some dielectric grease to the coil packs.

Added some Techron fuel cleaner and topped off with some fresh gas.

Reset the ECU and took her for a spin... all is well now.

This beast purrs like a kitten... (All 350 HP from the little 1.8L motor)!!!!

Media blasted some more parts before sending off to plating. (I think I have to gather just a few more parts.

Q, as your adviser on health issues, I find myself compelled to warn you that you dare not consume that much beer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

You should really send a keg of it to WCR 2014 Teeners at Tahoe II...

I fitted /prepped/trimmed the Engman kit.

1. Drilled out all the holes 1 step with a uni-bit and brushed over lightly with an angle grinder on the backside, since it leaves a little lip.

2. Trimmed the end and the seatbelt mounting bolt holes that weren't quite aligned right and drimmed hear and there to get it nice and flush all over.

Great minds think alike! I rock Chuck Taylors and listen to the local 70's "Classic Rock" station. Mainly because it's the only radio station I get, but I like to think it's because I'm building a 70's car...

Nice to see you still have a Lotus as well.

I've been hunting Elise's for a while now but have not really stepped up to the plate yet.

I have space issues at the moment.

I also wear worn out vans for the garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) mine are all black though, I love the checkerboard ones!

I still need to work on the garage music, but I leave my Ipod on random and have one tiny speaker hooked up to it. Gotta have music... and something to drink (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
