Settle down fellas, waiting impatiently doesn't make it go any faster! I've tried that!

1st part of the kit has arrived. Waiting on intercooler and turbo, but this will let me get started on the DEI wrap. Excellent.

Text message from my dad:

"You know what would go good with that? Some figgy pudding. Or a second turbo!"

He's a terrible influence.

I guess you need to start handing out food stamps to the needy. LMAO...

My dad keeps asking for a ride in my car when I see him at Christmas. Not sure how this is gonna go but he didn't do too well in the Kawasaki Teryx or the Grand sport. LMAO it may get interesting.

My dad was a car guy way back in the day, but sort of had to lose that passion when he had 10 kids. I was actually pretty surprised when he asked to help install my kit. He'll contribute a massive space heater as well to warm my garage.

Now that he's gotten the kids out of the house I know he's starting to think about a 911 turbo again, not sure which series. Long time dream car for him.

Turbo arrived Saturday. I went from "who tf is ringing the doorbell?" to "Why please come in good sir, can I get you anything? Christmas Cookies? Coffee?"

Obligatory picture of my Hiroshima Hurricane waiting for attention attached.

This section of the site has to be my favorite right now. I love seeing all the DIY projects.

Wednesday - I'm still waiting on my OEM parts from Nissan, so I swapped passenger header studs over to the driver's side and got the driver's side header in. 5/6 nuts in place; dropped the last one in the engine bay somewhere and figured it was time for bed.

Did another coat of the DEI Silicon spray on the piping as well. No pictures, battery died in the cell phone and I didn't feel like getting out from under the car to get a new one.

Madwi arrives today!

Yeah! I think I tossed the extendo-magnet in the box that should be arriving today. Easy bolt retrieval.
