I am so depressed. I cracked up the right quarter panel yesterday morning. Now I have to go through the insurance company and all the headache to get it fixed. Backed into another car on the lot at work.

I just backed did it, no explanation. was in a ruch to goto lunch, put it in reverse and bam. Didn't even hurt the other. After banging it out some with my hand and some compound it doesn't look too bad. I'm gonna get it fixed, was planning on paint job this winter any way.

So I went to downtown Baltimore this morning to have a tuner check out my car. I need to buy a wide band. Other than that he was impressed with my work. On my way home the oil feed line to the left turbo ruptured and puked oil all over the car. It was running out of the wheels, got on the brakes, and all down the left side of the car. my wife was behind me so she gave me a ride back to work where I had another line in my tool box. I got that fixed and drove the car the rest of the way back to PA. I stopped at Advanced Auto Parts to see about making hard lines to the turbos and the counter guy asked to see the engeine. When I opened the hood the oil soaked turbo blanket was on fire. I got that out and then I noticed a 6" round spot on the hood where the paint is now blistered. then to top it off, I got about a mile from there and the new line on that side ruptured again. Had to call the wife to bring the trailer back to get me. What a tough day. Damn Ebay oil feed lines.

Damn dude thats horrible news. I was hoping to here you made 600+ rwhp and shes a monster to control. Sounds like the paint job will be needed now.

Yeah, so sad, but not too much to overcome. I got my room and mailed off my registration for the beach. I will have it tuned and the hood repainted by then. Just another headache, it didn't do anything bad enough to keep the car from running.

I finished up my hard line conversion for the oil feeds to the turbos tonight. Started the car and everything is ok. Waiting for my new heat blanket to show up. Now I need to get the hood and 1/4 panel repainted.
