Finally buttoned everything up, all that's left is to wire the spal (know what to do, just looking for the harness off someones aux fan, wish I kept mine but I didn't know what to do back then) and do exhaust, which is scheduled for next tuesday. Wanted to take it out for the first time to see if it would blow up or barf up all bodily fluids or what...
I know tastes are not to be discussed but I fuckin love this little red brick. Other than the iS airdam I have painted and ready, I'm not changing a damn thing on this car, and that includes the diving boards.
Man, my neighborhood is all rich waspy fucks, I must have pissed off half a dozen of them, got so many stink eyes. I of course had to go for a second pass after I saw their reactions (not on video)... you can also hear a dog going fuck nuts after I shut it off.
As I was pulling out first time I noticed a cop and backed in to go check that he isn't hiding, waiting for me. Cops in this area have a hard-on for modified cars (let alone those unplated, uninsured and making enough noise to wake the dead).
Left the hood open to be able to see any smoke quicker. My first thought was to leave it open but then I realized there was something fundamentally wrong with that...
I so happy. Engine runs very smoothly, it's so nice to drive a tight transmission, steering rack etc. With the 3 turn rack I could see this being an autox king if I were so inclined. It's the first time I tried moving the car with the PS hooked up and it's lighter than the stock E30 was and 30% faster, it feels like a complete dream. The double chamber booster and 25mm master makes the brakes feel WONDERFUL as well! Very stiff, very strong.
