:notgood: today wasn't so good i have been waiting for this parts so today they came in, i thought after throwing everything back on i can start it.
i was wrong.
intake manifold and fuel rail was powder coated so i was installing that, when installing injectors, a injector tip fall inside the head :ohdamn: so i had to take manifold out again to get to the tip.

the next time around everything was back on as i turn the key there's fuel every where fuel rail was leaking bad, took it apart the o rings inside where gone changed that got it all together, go to start battery is dead, its charging now but im done for this week till Wednesday ughhhhhh
 
Learned to solder more with a great how-to and some oldschool youtube instructionals. Now I'm gonna test it on some shit electrical connections. AND wire my boost gauge in!
 
Pulled this sign off my window this a.m. and let it idle until it warmed up as usual, f.ck the neighbors if they don't have the balls to leave a name or address with their complaint.

To be honest, those folks were quite kind about it. You must surely understand that if they've waited so long and been inconvenienced so often that they must really care about this issue.

I know this because this is exactly how I feel. There is a suburban with dual pipes out each side that likes to start itself at 6:30AM every morning but Sundays. Often the vehicle will run for 20minutes or more like that; irradiating my skull, my girlfriend's and at least 4 other apartments. This vehicle will also often get turned off, only to start it up again 30 seconds later to idle for another 15minutes. The owners also send their load-ass children out to the truck to wait for them to get ready. When the children feel that it has been more than 5minutes they start to blare the horn. The horn that is 13feet away from the single pane glass by my bed.

Now, granted, I'm sure this character I speak of is nothing like yourself. I'm sure you just warm up your car like a reasonable human being for <5minutes and head off to do about your day.

I guess I was just thinking that the individuals who left the note ought to get a little more consideration. It is clear this means something to them.

All I know for sure is that I want to stab all suburbans before 7AM.

I'm as reasonable about warming my car up as I can possibly be considering all that's been done to the DSM. As you know, E85 creates hard cold start issues and to combat them I've got to ramp up my deadtimes when the coolant temp is less that 170*. That being said, the car isn't even drive-able until it reaches 180* coolant temps so my FT's are where they need to be.

At any rate, because I like to think I'm a considerate person, I thought I'd fulfill my neighbors wishes (whoever they maybe) as best I could and purchased a 115mm silencer for my muffler. I'm not sure how much it's actually going to silence but it was the least I could do, if it's still too loud then they'll just have to deal with it for 68 more days when I move.

Sorry to hear about your neighbor with the Suburban, that shit would really piss me off too.
