You say that, until you start finding nuts and bolts on your crank pulley and in your intercooler piping. Or you hear hammering while you are laying under the car, get out from under it and a see some "body work" being done.
But....having a little boy car buddy is the still the best!

This is my "helper". He'll be 5 in July and is every bit as hornery as he looks in this picture! But, my best bud!

OK Aaron!!! Let's get it to the track... I am stoked to see this thing in action... My car is officially running like poop...
I'd blame the tuner but hate blaming myself... :-)

soooooooo.
today. (after work of course)
dropped the oil, changed the filter (to the bigger diesel filter BTW). re-torqued head, 85 ft/lb. (up from the initial 80ft/lb) put the clamps on the inner front CV boots. remembered to tighten the trans mounts to trans. (big one there) extended the wiring to the AWIC Reservoir. fitted the new TB cover, drilled the hole for the cam gear bolt. (WTF? i dunno, must be because the CAT gear.) received a full suspension setup from a G60 Corrado. front subframe, all struts (H&R/Tokico), axles, hubs, brakes, calipers, spindles, rear beam, rack, starter, all of it. (i know, not related, but it interrupted my day) ((WTF am i gonna do with it???)) installed the SINGLE BOOST PIPE (yeah i know..... but luck has nothing to do with it. PLANNING) ordered up a broke piece of alum from my chief fabricator for a fan mounting plate.... (broke being the proper term for bent) pulled the start-up plugs, installed the run plugs. painted the rear filler foam thing in the driver rear side. (???) installed all of the VC breather lines for the final time.
one thing left besides mounting the fan; and that is make a clutch pedal stop.
tomorrow i think i will add oil, and fire it up after jacking it up and supporting it from the control arms to prevent suspension droop. my idea is to do some light load running to seat the rings. a little brake action with some light 4th gear rev runs up and down the range.... on stands in the garage.
then i can dump the C-16 (boy do i like that stuff) and 1000cc injectors, add E85 and 1600cc injectors, and into the trailer it goes to await the tuning date. actually, now that i revisit the list, imma leave the car in the garage as i have a few details to take care of in the trailer.
and yes, i am going to drive it tomorrow. just down the street.
:slap:

It's later now, lol...
Good luck with the drive.
Yesterday while tuning on the rabbit I was following a truck and all of a sudden I thought the motor had fallen out... NOPE it didn't fall out it hit a 4x4 chunk of wood laying in the street and busted the oil pan. I shut it off but not for a few hundred yards when I realized it wasn't the axle breaking but oil pressure escaping... I hope I didn't hurt it, but my luck lately, well will just have to see...
