:P

lol, I had to fix the below before I can pass the provincial safety test. Cannot insure the car until that passes.

head lights are out,
removed HID kit and rewired everything for stock set up.
Rewired tail lights as it is shorting.
replaced front left tie bar
replaced both rear susp mounts as they had blown thru the mounts. Bushings had also sezied.
getting cracked AC belt fixed.
Front left susp is creeking.

Other than that, I think she will pass the saftey test according to the inspector.

next-> BC air car test.

-> Get ECU chiped for KLZE.(Stop the car from running rich)
-> Replace valve cover as it has got a crack in it.
-> Do Engine rebuild
-> Replace high flow cat for test and fix exhaust hole

Lots of work but lots of fun :P.

Thanks jordan for the past and future help ;)

I've signed up with my buddy with the boosted EGT for the UBC Sports Car Club track day at Mission on June 1st (http://www.karelo.com/register.php?BID=214&BT=10#Ev7675).

Since last time we talked I've upped the boost from 8psi to 14psi... PSHT!

I'll be at Mission Raceway's Friday night Street Legals on June 26th... and provided I don't blow it up there, I'll be in Kelowna too. I'm going up Friday night and staying with a friend in Kamloops and then heading out to Kelowna Saturday morning. I'm just gonna hang around for the day and then head back to Kamloops... and back down Sunday.

It's the max the Megasquirt will take... found my boost leak, and it's more of a rocket now.
