got my car to the shop last night!!!!!!!!

[KeeleDesign]

we dropped the engine out the bottom last night, as i had un-done the drive shaft from the rear end, i was removing the ujoint bolts with the impact, and to my dismay the 3 piece rear drive shaft fell on my face. blood spattered everywhere and gave me a instant black eye. it looked like a horror film, we thought i was gona have to go to the er, as it looked pretty darn bad, but amazingly it wasn't felayed like it looked, once i cleaned all the blood from my face, it was apparently just a 1 time hit and splatter, the cut isn't that bad, although today my eyes is black and red and almost swollen shut, but hey the engine is out and now i just have to remove the tranny and transferr case from it and dress my 6 bolt. :thumb:

if you've kept up with the ecu not getting power.... you'll know whay i am angry and taking my car to the mechanic who taught me everything i know, to see if he can fix the problem. i've spent to much time on it, and i'm ready to burn it.

progress........... all i am waiting on is 1 relay and i should be able to clean and reinstall everything on her and she'll be ready to tune and drive! thank goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to go ahead and shampoo and my carpet and preasure wash it before i re-install as their were mice nests under the seats after sitting for 3 years, so I'm sure they are covered in rat pee, with my son in mind i need to do this before he gets in their for sure so lots of disinfectant and cleaners are in my future, but this is a good thing.

Nice progress! How long do you think it will be till you get it tuned, and what kind of numbers are you looking to put down? Valve cover is looking rope with the gold and black stripes. I love these cars glad you hung on to it.

sweet day man . nice and nasty dsm , i had a 91 talon tsi that was stock and mean . this build is going to be straight bad ass . A guy at the track this season hauled in a 90 AWD Turbo DSM , he goes 6.90 in the 1/8 with a small shot of gas for his launch. He's got a quick one , but yours will be FAST. glad its coming together for you man . keep up your impressive work .

[gloryaccordy]

Lol I didn't mean to insinuate dude was poor. Personally I'd rather have one of these than an Evo.
