So I tried Fiberglassing a fan shroud and it didn't work out so well I think the temperature wasn't right for it for the resin to set. :(
The adhesive I used to secure the return on the bypass valve broke :lol: so I went out and,
might have gotten something a little overkill that holds 2500 pounds of force. so it shouldn't go anywhere now.

Motor-mounts are in and I had to shorten the drain line a bit but everything else is going back in tomorrow :D
I also got something in the mail today :)
It came with a cool sticker :p

Hint: Its very FLEXIble because it works many platforms A bit LITE too

I'M OFFENDED!
Any time you get a caution sticker, that's a good sign. Also, good choice on the socks lol.

Yesterday
So it now runs and idles semi proper @ ~1k

Today
It runs really really really rich al le premix and the aroma is superb :p

It bogs really bad trying to do anything, however I did "move" the car on its own power for the first time in almost 12 months :D

I did find the exhaust leak MAP told me about the exhaust leaks right by the downpipe so it comes up the trans tunnel and out of the hood its kinda cool to look at but its on the list of things to fix.

So now its time to get her tuned!

I guess the only two options around here are FNR and MAP

Last time I chatted with FNR they thing that anything with 9.4 rotors will blow up at 10psi and is only good for the stock turbo :rollseyes:
Of course this is when Delaray worked there way back when so idk what they think now. Last time I asked it was $125 an hour

As far as MAP goes I'm not sure what they think of tuning rotaries... I know they are game for crazy projects though. ~$150 an hour I think

Time to make some phone calls I guess. :shrug:

What! no! Try the fixing method first. Theres a guy on 7 club that fixed his without an engine teardown

Yeah I am positive I pretty much smoked out the entire building in the storage unit. and left a huge white smoke trail that and the needle on the water temp gauge pegged as soon as I realized what was going on.
