I'll try to weld up the exhaust this week in preparation of state inspection. Maybe we can get together on the engine size change thingy in DAS...
Sorry about not getting ahold of you over the weekend. It get's pretty busy with the kids. I'll give you a call today when I'm off, around 4 - 4:30 my time.

I can learn you lol. And yeah, exhaust fab is some serious work.

Yeah, I hate to see her go too, but with the money I could potentially make off the sale I could pay off some debt and go get the 5.5 V12 TT engine, another 6-speed Crossfire and start the next set of swaps.

The 12 would be going in the E55, then the 55K motor into the crossfire. It'll be a breeze for the electronics on the 12 into the E. As far as that motor in a crossfire, I think I could do it provided it's going into an auto. The only problem is I can't test that theory on either of my cars.

For sure man! If you decide to kit off your current setup let me know, I could unlock your ECU for the next buyer for pretty cheap. They'd be more likely to buy with all your tuning along with the package.

Been a while since an update...

First off, my wife and I are working things out. A lot happened that made it a difficult decision for me, but after a week of just thought on it I could see that she was genuinely different, in a better way. We both are honestly.

Anyway, then on my car...... I have all the parts to replace everything other than a lower control arm, and the power steering pump. With everything going on with projects and the New Hampshire swap and such I don't have the time to put it all on. Might be a little while.

Then the big news, look out for a thread on my next build. I'll post the link when I put it up. Should be in a little bit.

Erase anything bad you have written about her, here or other forums.
No point in pushing your luck too far.

Update on the Albino 5.0: New power steering pump, Lower right front control arm, window switch, paint, torx T-handle's, JB quick, Shroud, Fan, Coolant reservoir and new steel cable for motor mounts are in... After Korey's swap my crossfire will be purty and flawless again lol.

Update on Korey's Batmobile 5.0: ECU is done, motor is torn apart, new harness in hand, 90% of fab is done, Awaiting reassembly and swap.

Update on Bart's car: Almost everything is in hand, schematics, and ECU. Awaiting the uber expensive international shipping money is all that's left lol.

Update on StevE55's car: Second and hopefully last ECU is done enough for experimental test run on my car. If it cranks and hiccups then 55K manual's are ready. Only two issues I wont be able to confirm... Cruise control for auto's and manual's, and another that I can't put on here but could be solved relatively easy.

Update on the wife: Money in hand, trash taken out, ice cream outings with the gremlins, dinner nights, movie nights - in turn she actually does house duties lol. BBQ's, she get's to drive the monster 55. Awaiting time to breathe and get past my new position's 2 year probation and I'll transfer government and we'll move to Indiana.

Update on stress level: Seeping through eyeball's, soo not too bad lol.

Haven't been on in a while. Yes I'm alive, just insanely pissed with Bart's ECU and the hundreds of PM's about swap questions. I needed a break. Honestly though allllll of the questions are RIGHT HERE GUYS!!!!! Geeeez. I don't mind the questions as bad as the missinformation though... "well I know that you got your car running, but running like crap..." Uhmmmm excuse me? My car runs absolutely perfect.

Sorry, rant over.

Updates: My car runs absolutely perfect hahaha

Turbo 320's are insanely hard to figure out. Not just in the ECU aspect either. I'm dealing more with sensor placement, resistor layout...

Haven't heard from Steve. Where ya at!? How's it goin!?

Screw the wife, she took all my money and bounced. Tried to take the Benz with her. My new girl is 100 times better and tatted, cause Jim likes when I have tatted chicks lol. Divorce sucks. Kids rock. Pre-school is scary.

Birthday's Sunday I guess lol... Literally just remembered lol. I guess I'll be 23 at this point lol. Oldest turns 4 two weeks after.

Stress? I have time to let crap bother me??

Damn young man....that isn't good. You have a whole life ahead of you, so get your **** together and move on. I will be 61 in a few weeks, and If I could turn back the clock, I would have stayed single....love my wife, but that is more work than building any kind of car anytime. Cars are a hell of a lot more fun.... You can find the other, when you need it, and walk away....lol Girl friends will always be cheaper.... and like cars, you can always get a newer model, when you get tired of the old....lol Now...chin up....let's talk cars.....not wako women...

I like how you had to explain the referrence lol.

My life's an open book and I have no passcode lock on my phone lol. "I live a 1/4 mile at a time..." - and yes that was a referrence of one of the stupidest lines of the first Fast and the Furious hahahah.

Life can definitely get in the way of life sometimes lol, I hate that lol.

Cutie Doll!? Nikkole?? Have you seen her? I'm enjoying this lol.

True, true, that's why I need to just send what I have back, praying that it works.
