I'd forgotten how fast she was.
Put on the exhaust and drove it a little today. Sounds disgusting. Like it's going to eat you. WHOOOOOSH-PSHHSSHHH.... and the exhaust tone is unbelievable. It is one hell of a car.
I have two tiny leaks. One is from my upper rad hose (7 bucks) and the other is from my hydro fan banjo bolt, so I just need some new washers. No erl leaks, no fuel leaks, no hydro leaks. I do need a coolant temp guage, as I am not sure the stock one is functioning properly.
Also, my coolant (water) looks like mung. Which is exactly why I used water the first time, I'll dump my rad flush and flush it out tomorrow, throw in some 60/40 and some water wetter.
It's...unbelievable.
I also did a compression test today. Warm, not hot, injectors plugged in and throttle closed. While it's not as high as it could be, it's certainly even and it's certainly above the service limit.
