Sounds familiar. Last night, I found a used printer for $100 I needed through the classifieds. It was an hour away in Manhattan, NYC.

Not a problem. that's two hours of FUN!

Stay vibrant.

Quick update:
Went to install the boost solenoid two days ago, spotted an oil leak in the process. My mechanic traced it down and said it's coming from the front crankshaft oil seal. Thankfully it was spotted in time before we went for a high boost tune.

The leak was fixed (I hope) and we took it out on the road!

The gears however are WAY too tall, redlining 2nd (7k rpm) at 87 mph, and 3rd at 139 mph

Gears that tall hurt torque big time, that's why you only seem them on 2000 hp drag cars lol
