I'm baaaaaaaaaaack..........WOO HOO!!

Cant begin to Thank Sal enough for all the time and effort he's put into this the last month or so, but the good news is it looks like it finally paid off.
The L's home, running bogg free, and I'm enjoying the schitt out of it again tonight, WOO HOO Looks like I'll make JDM day after all, there is a Lightning God

Sal did A LOT; the Stainless Steel Bassani Dual Muffler Cat Back and X Pipe, (no more hitting the bars either, woo hoo...) Electric Fan, SCT BA-2400 Big Air Maf, an entire new Engine Harness, checked the entire fuel system out, re-fitted the fuel line to the Fuel Rail, (that took care of an old prob I had) re-fitted the N20 Nozzle, (deeper and pointed better : o ) re-routed and made a change or two to the Vacum lines, new plugs, pulley changes, Dyno Tuning, bla bla bla.... It kept us on glass to the last second, but it all came together today and it seems to be just the way it belongs, WOO HOO............

Found an issue with the CL upper hitting and rubbing on the front of the SC too, in 2 places. Hard to say what part it played, but it might have been tweaking the upper and preventing it from sealing positive 24/7 ??? It was rubbing enough that Sal had to grind the SC a tad to give it clearance and allow it to sit down all the way. And up to yesterday we had some weird Vacum issues going on that were directly related to the bogg, GONE GONE ALL GONE....
AND (I havent even got to tell you this yet Sal)
I HAVE BRAKES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS, WOO WOO WOO WOO.
THANK YOU SAL this along makes it all worth it (if they stay working that is)
hehehehehehehe.........

BTW, when the hell was everyone going to tell me how frigging awesome this Bassani set up is, got dam I love this sound!!


Guess who's back
back again
da da da da da....

Thanks Bro, and Best of Luck....

Did I tell you how much I love this Bassani, woo hoo





I know this one is dark, but it'll prob be the only time you see them clean, hehehehe


Took this one last week at Sals shop
You can see the Harness plugs are a bit dirty, got it from a 99 L
But the entire harness was flawless and once I clean it up you'll never know.
TG those broken coil wires are FINALLY behind me too


Time for Bed, got to get up early then on the road after work for JDM day
WOO HOO....................

Congrats Rob. Glad to see that everything worked out for you. I will be meeting Sal for the first time in December here in Cali. I am hoping he can work his tuning magic for me too. Good luck with your racing. Later.

I was hoping to surprise you a week or two ago
but they fired the ONLY SOB who does outgoing UPS at work,
I set the package up, and then saw it there last week and realized
IT NEVER LEFT (@#$%@)$^%@)$^%@$)@$%@$%)@$
it has been gone at least 3 days now though,
the Mgr finally did ALL outgoing ups....


Thanks All, now I'm going to drive me L to work
and to fill n20 tanks at lunch time
and out of state tonight
and go race tomorrow
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BTW
I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW FRIGGIN CLOSE I CAME TO SELLING IT
So close that mods were already taken off prepairing it.
I wont have my A-Game tomorrow, but it should be good enough
for some dam mid 11's I hope @$%)@$%)@$%@$%@)$%@$
After tomorrow I'll make some decisions and see what the future holds.....
