A new friend was added to the mix as well today... Thanks Lawrence!




The plan is to have the engine back in and have the car ready to tow down to Calgary Autoworks for intercooler piping fabrication (& a final once over...) by the end of the weekend.

Oh ... and a BIG thank you to Jason for engine delivery to Lawrence's shop. Couldn't have done it without you and your big truck!! (which F.Y.I. just so happens to be perfect for helping people move on the weekends too...)

Lol, thanks. I found a bolt when I was washing out the box, not sure if it was from your motor or Graeme's, either way, one of you will have lighter weight!

Re: Project "quicksilver"

Ya Eric... it wasn't exactly in the original budget... but being able to sell off the charger so quickly made things work out just fine.

Now... on to some pictures from the weekend. Got the engine bay cleaned up and the boost controller wiring routed into the dash.

Re: Project "quicksilver"

Geez, I guess there goes next years tuition fees, and if the old engine was anyting to go by then each run out will probably spend the same in gas.

Guess the new interior was too excellent to let you think about parting with the thing eh, good luck and see you soon.
