2009 Twin Turbo Base + Sport

It's between you and Mavrik, haha. Nice to find people who want to take over the project. The car isn't running super rich anymore, so there's no more raw fuel smell. The slight jump in idle was already there before I did the maintenance work, and I guess resetting the ECU made it more apparent. I'm going to check the vacuum lines and switch to screw bands instead of zip ties. Other than the bouncing idle the engine seems to run so much better than before.

Haha good ole zip ties. Well lmk if you decide to sale and if Mavrik doesn't jump on it. I got hit about 1 1/2 week ago and they totaled my car. Only had front bumper, passenger head light, hood, passenger fender damage. Not sure how a 26k car is totaled for 3 body panels and a head light. But oh well. They're cutting me a check that I should be getting my check in the upcoming week. So I've been looking everywhere for something

I've been on and off about selling. It makes me sad to let it go, but that's life and sometimes there are bigger priorities. It's not easy balancing this hobby and a house on my own the past 3 years.

Anyhow. I just gotta tighten up the lines today. When the new filters come in I will try to come up with a method to do a smoke test. Seems no one's willing to lend a hand so I've been working alone the past month. But man... it runs so much better and there's no raw fuel smell.

Yeah I got family in Kansas City and in Missouri. So I come that way fairly often. I'd be more than willing to help if you were a little closer. But at least if you do get it taken care of, I'm close enough to come get it from you! I'm not in a really big rush but in the next 2-3 weeks I'll have a check from my insurance company and will be really trying to find something. :/ I miss my z

Damn sorry to hear that. I know it gets said a lot but the more important part is that you are ok. The car can and will be replaced.
