All this and it's still dieseling... next step is checking the actual fuel pressure

So... I went to the dyno today.

The aftermarket cat I had installed 3 years ago started blowing chunks on the during the second pull so we stopped. I guess it's time to install the headers and build an exhaust, then go back to the dyno.

Then I had an accident
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...67BE79D6F4.jpg

Got my brakes back from the rebuilder

Goodbye parts car... gave it to a friend to use the sheet metal to replace rust on his Schnitzer E21
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...6241E8A1A1.jpg

Just need to figure out what front end I want to use. My buddy has an Alpina spoiler for a late car, I might do that.

Or I might do like this guy and make my own out of metal

Either way, I need to figure something out before the 12/12 autocross. I like my BBS spoiler but I feel like doing something different in front.

Jesus that's a hell of a hit! What's the details on the accident if you don't mind. You were unharmed, obviously. No lingering pain?

Great job on the rebuild!

So that is why the silence over the past few months, You've been busy.
Sorry about the accident but she leaves! . . .stronger.

Damn, that's a bit of a roller coaster, but you seem to be in high spirits either way. Keep up the work (and the photos you post)!

Holy cow JP! +1

Wow. Glad you are ok and a master at bodywork.
