    I think Dave's pulling your leg Seth. I'm sure he has an F56 screen saver. :cool:

    Just got my Vibra-Technis engine mount and torque link in! Thanks to Colin Green and Dave.0 for the hook up on these. Now to clean all that juice from the OEM mount off the engine compartment:idea::mad2:

    However true that may be. I do appreciate all the compliments! Keeps my guard up and expectations for more.

    Dave knows what's coming next. Maybe not in the order we discussed but expect more soon.... Stay tuned.

    Seth's car always looks good that's why it's on my screen saver.

    Haven't updated my "build thread"…. it's what I'm calling this garage. And I think it makes more sense than actually dedicating a thread to a build. No offense to those that have them.

    Nevertheless! I have accomplished quite a bit from the lists I previously made and also went off of it a bit. Some of this came about because I had some car issues earlier this month that later was basically ruled a non-issue. Shop said I had a timing chain emergency that was fixed by changing the oil…my recommendation before spending $1300 and the main issue I went in for was caused by a dirty map sensor. So… yea… money well spent :frown2: Dealing with morons is not easy.

    1. Power flex bushings - done
    2. PS fan - done
    3. PS hoses/tank/CHF-11 fluid - have the parts but now I think I'm going to do a PS delete.
    4. Radiator/fan resistor - bought both… won't put on until it gets warmer.
    5. New wheels - done and old wheels fixed - done
    6. Coilover - whenever I have money to do so… could be sooner than I think.
    7. RMW header - could be coming soon.
    8. Repaint front end - could be next year… depends.
    9. RMW Dominator cam and injectors - DONE!!! For those that know me… I'm sure they can finally rest easy that I don't have the cam and injectors sitting in the trunk of my car anymore. JCW injectors could be going on the market soon.
    10. RMW retune for cam/injectors - happening today or tomorrow… waiting on fedex.
    11. New timing chain guides and tensioner - done.

    Much of this was paid by a very lucky chance I had… I purchased a storage unit for $400 ($200 split with a friend). It was full of old architectural drawings and vintage furniture, lets just say my profit margin is very VERY large. I am still selling items if anyone wants something PM me. Blue prints, vintage furniture from the 60s (not cheap), office items. This goes to fund my school bills and more cool items for Henrietta… or fixes.
