Put the hood back on, rinsed it off, and drove it to work. Just finished up a basic engine rebuild after being down for 6 weeks.

I removed my intercooler tubing, tappedand reinstalled meth nozzle and relocated the iat sensor. Only thing left to do is cut the pipe and reinstall. Following that uploading a tune that allows the car to pull timing in the event meth fails. It will fall flat on its face to save the ole ls6. Can never be too safe.
....And yes that's what she said lol

It was all C3 today. Got the carb back on and fired up and tuned. (well kinda, enough to scorch a little pavement)

Took it out and hung out with the local ol' dudes!

Yesterday I replaced the leaky valve cover gaskets and grommets and cleaned the oil and dirt off the engine. Today I'll be replacing a bad oil pressure sensor, followed by a good washing to remove the dirt picked up from the rain this past Friday.

I washed and polished mines today. Weather girl said rain was 40 miles away and would only last 5 minutes. Decided to take car to local lake for some pictures and halfway to the lake I ran into rain. I had the targa roof off and could not stop because I was on the freeway. Car got filthy and I got wet on the return trip home. I have had the car two weeks and both times I have removed the top it has rained. I'm cursed I tell you.

Yesterday,
had Discount Tire replace my two rear Michelin PS AS ZP Plus tires at 33k due to the center ribs worn out. They honored the 45k warranty but since I got 33k out of them they were only worth about $87 each in trade toward the new replacements.
Today,
Washed and put on a fresh coat of REJEX for the summer. Also played with some ideas to further lower the opening of my ACA headlights. I have reduced the opening a bunch, but I want to get to level and I am not there yet. 5 degrees more to go and that will require some additional mods
