so what you gonna do small? Nothing new with me here. Just got a new kid at work and thinks he is the mechanic god. Lets just say everybody is abusing him. I also have to redo my led dash lights cause I lost the middle light. So no high MPH or water temp.

two days ago a little scare happened, heading home in the rain...... and was driving down a two lane road going home from work...

i get to this car that is going about 45... it is a 55, i slow down due to oncoming traffic, i wait for the traffic to go buy and i pass the car... in third gear i was running around 0 lbs on my boost gauge, i get on it when i pass him and the turbo spooled hit around five psi i am thinking and the tires broke loose... with the torque steer and me not thinking that it was going to brake loose my car got close to the other car i was passing, i let off and passed him.... never had that happen before but it deffently scared the **** out of me. just made me realize that this thing is faster than the last time i drove it! LOL

talked to the painter that was going to do my bumper and trunk, he wants to wait and paint the whole car at one time, not sure if i am a fan of that or not.... the engine will be out this winter anyway. so i may just wait....... not sure yet though. i am still thinking about it
