I am being reminded right now that I hate actually working on cars for any length of time. Damn back.

Intake manifold is almost off. Time for a bagel dog.

Spark plugs are changed.
Intake manifold is almost ready to go back on. I need to swap out the injector clips then I'll be set.

Then I have to install the TGV motor and sensors on the new adapters. I think I gotta break open the harness to get the wires to where they have to go.

Soggy: I have gaskets. I'm not taking this thing off again.....ever.

Car has been running fine excpet for an issue with warm starts. I thought if I actually got around to putting in the new fuel pump things would clear up. They didn't.

Stock injectors are back on. Now I'm diagnosing a #4 misfire. Bah.

It's the beginning of a build up. I could have titled it "Viper killer" or "Weapon of Mass Domestic Destuction" but then if it sucked ***** I would have failed. This way I only have to end up with enough powah to kick the *** of a Vespa.

Expect failure and be pleasantly suprised when you get better.

Back from the dead.

On the last episode of Project Vespa Killer I installed some injectors and fuel rails and turbo inlet tube and...and...and...

Then I got a new block from COBB....


In this two part episode I've got some additional goodies going on.

Suspension & Brakes.

I'll jump around as I see fit.
