trust me...im hating this more than anyone here. the first thing i thought was i dont want to be a quitter.....
the house i moved into is on a land contract untill its in MY name. the owner doesnt want my parts car or even my build there anymore unless they are driven/road legal (which neither are right now). my only option of coming up with the money is to sell them both.
this guy kind of sucks and untill its in my name he wont be off my back anytime soon.

Hold on, is it legal to say you cant have your property on the land? And was this in the contract before you moved in there? He shouldn't be able to tell you what you can and cannot have. From what I understand, it's just like renting out a house. You can have some limitations, but if it isn't stated in the contract that only cars that can be driven are allowed, then he has no right to say anything about them.
EDIT: Nvm, Talked to my dad and it seems like an udder bunch of BS what they can do if you ask me. Maybe try to negotiate that if you get rid of the parts car if you can keep your project. I mean, what all more does it need to run again?

what else do to?........
change out old injector clips on E6K harness to new ones
get injectors sent back to me
buy some foam to seal the rad to the rad support and other misc. areas for better cooling
finish up wiring and clean it up (e6k)
wire up the AEM tru boost gauge to the solenoid
get a decent battery box for battery
run a pipe from wastegate and plum it into the DP....
off of the top of my head thats all i can think of...
and yesterday i got a phone call from witchhunter.com about my injectors..turns out the primary injectors arent even the same CC's!
1 is 750 and the other is 850! no wonder i had just a hard time getting this car to run. he said i need to mill down the 750 anyways so they fit right. he dont know how i didnt have a fire the first time. yikes! at least he is setting me straight and right. i highly reccomend this company for fuel injector cleaning! great service and stand up guy!
but i did get my injector clips in and will be doing that soon. so look forward for pics!!

injectors arrived today:
the odd looking injector (H8) on the chart is the brand new one. it was flowed and milled for my own saftey paranoia...
i also loomed up the injector harness...wrapped the hell out of it with electrical tape and the plastic wire loomed..then wrapped it again with electrical tape. my friend has my TB right now making me a bracket at work. i also was running into throttle sticking problems before. turned out to be the thermowax spring assemb. somehow it was sticking and binding causing my idle to sky rocket. FIXED. im thinking this sunday will be the offical fire AGAIN. im going to take a pic of the horrible wiring job i did with the haltech install and clean it up and take another photo. its not TO bad but if its easy to get to now, i might as well do it right@!
so today:
injectors installed and leaked check by running the fuel pump. injector wire harness installed.

yeah buddy!!
anywho.......
tonite i got my TB back along with its bracket. it needs drilled out since he wasnt sure which way i wanted it. i got my pics of the mess under the hood im cleaning up this weekend. just by looking at the pics makes me cringe my teeth!!!!itll be fixed though.. i also organized my battery relocation wires. its still only temp. i have fuses near the haltech and HAVE to put some in the storage bin but for now this will work (later on i will make a custom setup for it in the bin). the wires are surley safe from rubbing cuts or abrasions so im not to worried about it.
so here is the storage bin:
now a pic of the MESS!
just so we dont get confused and we were to lazy to read the rest....its getting organized this weekend.
