The Project Pad

Congrats! Glad this is going to be a step in the right direction for you. You can never go wrong following your dreams! It'll certainly be a big change, but you'll adapt! I'm looking forward to life/car updates

Again, all the best to you Ben!

Thanks guys! And Darin, her family is full of car nuts so it's all good.

I see a lot of areas on that map where a bio-chem degree would come in handy. Just sayin.

Ben, I'm super happy for you, congrats! Looking forward to updates. I could get used to that kinda weather. And the e85

Thank you Sam! I'm really looking forward to becoming apart of it!

One less NW guy.....guess that makes me the fastest 4000 up here.

Also....who made your Audi quattro windshield decal?!

LOL Don't forget about Derek man. Also, I believe it was made by Iconify (Sean's business). I won it at BBQ 2012 IIRC.

Congrats and good luck

Thanks again everybody! SO, last weekend the move happened and I've been balls to the wall ever since. This is the first moment that I've had to stop a breath for a few minutes. The first week of work went really good and they said that I've met and exceeded their expectations thus far so that's good. Also, I've been daily driving Oceanic while down here and so far so good. WITH that said, two days before the move my oil pump gasket took a big ol' crap on me so I hammered out one of those the night before the move. While I had it all apart I was was able to dial in the timing just right so now I've been boosting even earlier so that's fun. Anyways, here are a couple of pictures from the move...

Getting ready to hit the road:



AAAAANNNND Here:



so anyways, I'm now down to about 1/8th of a tank and I think it's time I throw in some E85 for kicks.

I think that is a great idea...

Great news Ben! I didn't know they had grass down there, haha... So what was up with the tuning, was it a tooth out retarded? 6 degrees less timing would must likely hurt spool methinks.

Ya I was able to play with the tensioner at bit to get it just right. Small update, I officially have been rocking E85 the last few days and I love it, also got my windows tinted today. I can't believe how much different the car looks with the tint, I really dig it.



Lastly the guys at work wanted to see my LC in action.

Whoa! Caught me off guard how agile Oceanic was off the line! Lookin' good!

needz moar boost

you know I watched that vid twice and after the first time, I honestly had the smell of rich high octane exhaust in my nostril's. thanks for rubbing my frontal lobe Ben.

That is an OLD ASS QUOTE.

I was reading through my thread from the very beginning over the past couple nights. I forgot how much BS I went through on that damn thing

WTF, you have been in vegas for like a month now and no visit. Half off dyno time if your car is oceanic blue for the whole month of May.

"In other news, Iroz motorsports will be closed for the next 5 days for renovations"

You should DEFINITELY take Hank up on that Ben!
