This was a long weekend. I had to pull the engine back out, and tear it back apart. I had an apex seal stick in the down position. There was a little nick beside the apex seal groove on the front rotor. It was like something got sucked through the engine. I never found anything wrong or missing. Damn, I'm glad I went with cryo seals this time. Anywho, Long came by for a little today to help me drop the engine back in.
Fired up the first time . I will get some vids of it running this week. I swear. On a side note, I guess the Vert is sold. The guy is supposed to come pick it up in the morning. I hate to see the Vert go, but it was purchased with the intent to sell.

I finally got a friend that wasn't scared to ride with me and take a little video. I have about 400 miles on it now. I am running 12psi of boost till it gets broke in a little more. Sorry for the wait, but here's the vid.

Damn Sam thats worth missing the rally just about
(got my shifter rewelded thank God haha)
but a question
on the SEM painted interior has that held up since I rode in it?
I didn't know if that was best or dyeing the parts...
duplicolor sure isn't...
luckily it held up 1 week just for dgrr but its coming off =X

Thanks for the kind words guys. The car is actually pulling harder now that I replaced the chewed up hot side wheel on the turbo.Thats the thing about cryoed apex seals, more boost=more power without breaking and chewing up your engine and turbo. BTW, that tire "chirp" was going from 2nd to 3rd
STAY AWAY from the DupliColor CRAP! Their interior "paint" isn't worth a flip. I have used SEM interior dye for years without any problems. The SEM isn't a spraypaint that coats the parts, it actually dyes the part, so there is no flakeing off later.

I finally got around to putting a TII trans, flywheel, starter, yada yada. Anywho, now that I am not scared to throw some real serious power at the ol' FB, I rebuilt my turbo and went with a smaller hotside. All that I can say is holy sh$t!!!!!!!
Here's a little taste of 12psi
