Still standing
Well as my car cries lonely in the night on jacks for the past week with a blown turbo, bad knees, and a bad headache. I come to you with some news.
Recently my turbo sprung a leak and dumped 2 qts of oil in to my intercooler and intake manifold. When taking apart the turbo to change the seals the shaft was worn down due to a bad bearing and broke. Despite all this My little trooper of a car did not falter. He stands now prouder and stronger than ever before. With the addition of Dezods old design tubular manifold, a Garrett T3 super 60 turbo, a Tial 38mm wastegate, Tien coilovers, a face lift, and a soon to arrive Greddy e-manage, My soldier civic will rise from his slumber and hunt out new prey. In 2 weeks the garage will open and he will come out of his den with a lions fury. To show all the stand before him......."You don't want to fu*k with a pissed off Blown 7th gen civic". The time has come, Will they be ready.

Whats up you guys. When I get the beast running You know I'll be hitting you guys up for a weekend meet. Also look for another tech-day in about 2 weeks.

nice stephen... in 2 weeks is perfect. 'cause I think i might need help getting some konis into my car.
so that's plan, haha...
nice to heard your car runs again, too bad the dezod kit still isn't carb legal yet so most of us probably won't be getting it yet.

Sorry to hear about the problems w/ your vic, but it'll be better than ever when it's fixed!
Tech meet in about two weeks sounds good. Hopefully it'll land on a day when my spring break begins. Btw, which track are you planning on running? Sac Raceway?

well I would like to do it on the 19th but if the turbo comes in next week some time I will need the weekend of the 19th to put my car together. It will be really hard to help you guys out and put my car together. Plus it is on jacks in the garage so it limmits the garage space. What did you need done Caucasian? maybe I can help you on the 19th as well. and have the tech day on the 26th for everyone else.
