Wow, what an update! Definitely good to hear things are coming along great Scheides!

I need to take notes from you so my updates can be 10% as entertaining as yours, lol! :)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Crap, I wish I would've gotten off my lazy ass instead of watching football today. I could've let you use my plugs, but I suppose 1 day won't make a difference. Congrats man, i am happy you are almost there.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Woohoo! Glad you got the cam caps all back together ok! was bummed I didnt get to stay and help longer, but awesome you got help. Cant wait to see this thing back on the road.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

I'm very excited for today!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Very exciting for sure! Awesome progress scheides! I should have popped in this weekend. grr

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Hah yea, lots of people said they were gonna come, only a few did. Between the snow and shitty traffic friday and the bitch-ass cold the rest of the weekend I'm extremely thankful to those that made it! Those that didn't, well, you missed a good dinner and beer on me, no hard feelings! I *always* appreciate help but certainly never expect it. Could not have done this one w/o friends though, you guys are amazing!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

After seeing cams done on an 8/9 and now a X...the X really blows. lol.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

I've been screwed. :KANE:

Re: beaterX project thread
 

^Oh plus I owe you or rosey for the bolts you got!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Awesome progress man! If the g/f wasn't in town all weekend I would have loved to come help. Unfortunately I only have 1 out of every 3 weekends free. can't wait to see a start-up vid!!!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

As I said on Saturday, it wouldn't be MitsuStyle without us. :D

Re: beaterX project thread
 

So what's left on this beast?

Re: beaterX project thread
 

LOL, you are the best at not actually reading posts.

Update, Napa in SLP has denso's in stock, I believe the OEM ones on the X are now Denso, vs the standard NKG of the 4G63. Either way, my name is on them, gonna pick them up and throw them in tonight.

Stomach. In. Knots.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Good luck dude! Glad to see such progress was made over the weekend, that has to feel good!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Damn it!! me FTL.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

I have no good excuse for not being there on Saturday, lol. I didn't see what time it was starting on Friday, partied friday night hard...hung over saturday. I will make it up to you buddy :)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Update update! I dont see a vid yet :)

Re: beaterX project thread
 

wow schiedes! awesome! don't forget that one manifold bolt!! i have done this once! lol. good luck man!

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Turns out they struck out on the plugs. scheides is running over to my place to pick up a set of HKS one-step colder plugs that I'm not using.

Re: beaterX project thread
 

Fuking plugs from napa or anywhere else are all listed incorrectly, what a waste of time! Lomker to the rescue again--he loaned me his HKS plugs, gapped nicely at .023.

Got home, put them in, car fires right up, idles for a few seconds, then dies. Every. Single. time. Someone else had this happen recently, I gotta figure out what it is. Someone *cough* Jim *cough* has my tactrix cable so I can't see what the CEL I'm getting is.

Sounds great while running.
