At it again. During mothers day weekend i turned on the car and heard a knocking noise. The higher the car revved the faster the knocking noise got. As i reached in to shut it off the motor took a dump. I covered the car back up and didn't mess with it for a month. I checked compression and it was telling me that the rear rotor had lost an apex seal. About a month after that i decided to pull the motor out and see what the damage was. As i pulled off the LIM a ceramic coating polishing ball dropped out of the LIM. I thought i had gotten them all out when i assembled it the first time but i guess not. ( My mistake ). When i disassembled the motor the only thing broken was an apex seal spring. I decided that since it was out and open again i was going to upgrade a few things. I decided to pin the motor this time around so i dropped off the motor at the machine shop for pining and the machinist dropped and broke my front plate. After spending almost a month searching for one i finally got the pining done. I also decided to go with the goopy seals instead of the Atkins seals that where in there already. I upgrade to a better quality turbo manifold and swapped out the HKS wastegate for a Tial.

After two years of only driving the car every now and then and not really touching it much.. I have gotten the itch to update some parts on it.

First was the wheels.. Decided to go with a Mesh style wheel... 18 x 9 / 10

a month ago i decided also to update the Rails and injectors going from the old KG / Stock set up to the FFE rails and newer version Bosch injectors.

During the summer when rain season starts the Microtech set up will be coming out and the Adaptronic will be going in..
