Yeah, I figured nobody else was doing it, sooooo....

I won't be picking the car up til Monday at the earliest. The paint fix I had done was so bad they couldn't even sand the paint, it was gumming up. They had to strip the fender and door to bare metal and start from scratch. Joey called me yesterday afternoon and said the color turned out amazing, "so bright, its beautiful" is what he said. I couldn't wait to see it before and now I really can't wait.

 

i definitely think a wash/wax day is needed. my S cries for one

 

I also plan on buying a Porter Cable orbital kit in the next couple weeks or so.

 

Elapsed time to remove and replace header, cat, and exhaust: 9.5 hours.

 

I wanna wash my car. But the new standards set my the Fleet Admiral is going to put us into port and starboard duty sections. Doubt I will even have the time to scratch my ass after this bullshit!

 

So I finished the install of my test pipe and exhaust today. This was the worst install I have ever had to deal with. Here is a video of how it sounds at cold start.

 

I have an orbital and a high speed polisher for the cause.

 

Sweet

I'm looking at the Porter Cable kit on Autogeek, that comes with pads and a few Wolfgang products.

I purchased a bunch of stuff from them yesterday. Some good stuff that I should have gotten a long time ago... Grit Guard w/5 gal. bucket, Metro Blaster(for blowing out water of the tight spots), Wolfgang half gallon FoamMaster foam gun, some Wolfgang washing products, and a ton of other little supplies, tools, etc.

I'm pretty excited about all of it. Now that I actually have a garage and my own driveway, it's going to be nice to do all of this, and be able to pull the car in the garage to do all the polishing, etc.

 

Joe, you should had gone single , j/k, .exhaust is looking good.

 

There is no single out there but I would if I could. Butt dyno says I need to put this ho on a real dyno for bragging rights. ZOOM ZOOM
