    It absolutely is, it's hilariously shameful to reflect on the fact that it has been parked for almost 7 years.. but recounting a few old stories with a buddy while getting back to it was all it took to remind me how much of a fun hobby it is.. I bought this thing 6 months before I got my...

    Updates:Spent some time this weekend removing surface rust because I did not cover/WD40 it adequately. Good news is it was very sparse, due to consistently being garage kept. Got out a straightedge and feeler gauges to check the block for straightness/flatness as well, which checked good.I...

    My car has certainly never been referred to as beautiful, but thanks! It was always a bit of a beater/sleeper.. I think the rims make it look nicer than it is.. I'd like it to eventually get to that "beautiful" point however.

    Car ran hot, and now will not fire

    The car does not run terrible, but after 20-30 mins of driving, the temps start to climb. Im running straight water right now, so when it hits about 210F, it throws a CEL, and I stop so I dont do any damage. This is with both fans on full power..I can run another compression test no problem...

    Car ran hot, and now will not fire

    My results showed 30 psi across the board with the inability to build more pressure... I figured that it might not be accurate because other than the car running hot, i didnt think I had other blown HG symptoms. The test was also done with the car cold, but I just didnt expect results that...

    Car ran hot, and now will not fire

    I actually just took the car out for a little 20 minute drive. Here is what I concluded.The oil pressure gauge does not move, at all. The water temp gauge eventually moves, but I just dont think it was showing accurate numbers. I originally thought that both of these might not be working...

    Injector size for FP series

    That is really what I am asking about...I have not yet used DSMlink, and I have not tuned anything above 660CC'sIf you get injectors that big, you would think you can just turn them way down and have very low IDC's, but my question is can you turn 1600's down low enough and still have...
