Work has been truly shitty this year... This engine thing is definitely on hold... at least Yoshida still drives well... I don't remember if I posted but I was getting some seriously annoying rattles on the car... I started looking and was able to find about 8 things that were loose... got rid of a lot of rattles but the main new one was still there...
I removed the undercarriage plastic protection plates and discovered that one of the motor mounts was coming loose... Yikes... tightened it up, and car is relatively rattle free...

Also discovered a ripper hose from the supercharger, fixed that and cars acceleration is smoother... I attributed this loss of power to getting the straight pipe because I started noticing it a couple weeks after getting the exhaust done... That was not the problem...

So anyways... I hope work picks up... soon...

Now that Brant is no longer working looks like he has started working on the engine again slowly... Looks amazing... No Idea how I'm going to afford to get this installed :)

 Its come to the realization I never thought would ever happen... I cant believe I'm writing this... Im going to have to sell Yoshida... financially it makes the most sense and since it looks like Im retired at this point :) and moving to Japan, with no smog setup on the car... forget about it... I'll probably drive her a few more months to the cafe... wow... I REALLY thought I would never sell her... I imagined just staring at her in the garage when I was too old to drive her... Oh well... I can just focus on my wetplate and SIM racing... life is crazy... I never got to finish the turbo upgrade with alcohol water injection...
