So I have been having a lot of fun lately. Some know most don't, but I killed 16 valves 2 weeks ago after crank pulley came loose when I made a downshift to fourth gear.

Fortunately John had a head which was going to Brandon so I intercepted it and threw it on to get the car driving again. After this I was plagued with issues, it was misfiring and no matter what I did nothing changed.

Short list of what I did....
- o2 sensor
- maf sensor
- throttle body and tps
- gutted pcv and ran to catch can, vented vc to atmosphere
- removed cosworth manifold twice and re sealed to head and top plate down
- cut out melted section of boost gauge hose
- finally changed spark plugs... (The ones I removed were installed day before dooms day)

So sparkplugs ultimately were the fix. Had I not been so trusting in new spark plugs I would of sorted it out prior.

Drove it to Carlisle running in such form and did some of the parts replacing on site at motel 6

On to the new stuff, while at focus rising I made a deal with another member for his autopower 4point cage for a deal at 400$.
Installed while there also... Ofcourse why not



Not a great pic but I'll snap another later. Needs a quick repaint but otherwise it's in the car and holding strong. Really stiffened it up I was quite surprised at the difference with it in there.

Over the last two weeks I have been picking up pieces from an 05 at cambridge auto wreckers. It was relatively complete so I swiped a bunch of small things. Vents, stereo bezel, interior screws and clips for door panels, antenna base, hatch string for Taylor's car, maf, wiring harness for part of engine that I will use to re do some of my under hood wiring a little different.

Also changed up my gauges, wanted to do more of a frog eye look on the column. Here's how it all came together now that I have just front door panels in
