Shawn came over yesterday and got the tranny all fixed up all I need to do now is adjust the shift cable and finish installing the driveshaft sensor.

Its funny how **** works, I have not been to the track all year, Fireball asked I come down and help with his turbo car and man what a difference. I am dying now to get my car done and take my first shots down the track. Its like crack or something.

Concentrated on the downpipe today(last project) got it 90% done, everything is cut/tack welded, have maybe 30 minutes of welding tomorrow and it will be finished. Wiring looks good, pulled the old tuneup out and made some changes. I'll pick up some fuel to get it fired up very shortly.

I'm not going to use the Q for the first fire, not really needed when we're just looking for cylinder head, water and oil temps along with leaks && Setting base timing.

Got the downpipe done
tidying up some wiring
Now I'm working on getting it fired, doesn't want to build fuel pressure which is normal.

Didnt get it fired, its ready though. Oil is topped off, fuel cell is full. Just need to finish repriming the system and should be good to go. It tried to fire but I think it still has alot of air in the lines.
