hahahaha! You mean this car?



I got a little carried away. I haven’t been to PNP in years and I had to make the most of it. My wife has forbade me from going there “honey, good folks stay out of those places...we can afford new parts.” So after insisting a night the parts were NLA I had to make the most of the trip.

I swear that seat was cursed. It just was not destined to be in my car. I seriously unbalanced the zen of the vehicle by insisting on owning it. I literally had to rip it out of the floor of that CD. It took 2 hours. With hand tools and brute force. I was going to write about it but I was so embarrassed I decided to say I got a seat at LKQ. Then the blasted seat went on to cross me up by not mix and matching with my 300d seat back.

Good point on measuring boost. I measured in the driveway while hand throttling it. I’ll have to work out a T and some ice maker line to get it inside. The car is really making power now. Looking forward to taking it out.
