Gah. I hate all these monthly payments too. It’s Netflix, Disney, ring, xm radio, and everything seems to want a subscription. I get it. That’s how they get paid a lot of money for a long time. But holy poop I’m getting annoyed by it all.

Ya. That is why I am not doing it right now. I have a credit card, a personal loan, mortgage, her car payment, and the student loans. I owe $3k in taxes this year. I was supposed to get my dads estate money last year, that would have paid off the personal loan. But stepmother is being a dick about it. We keep going back and forth if we want to sell her Subaru. We can get more than we owe, but then would need to buy something to replace it since that would leave us with the vette and the Tundra only.

Been running it without the fuel rail and coil covers.

Thoughts?

I kind of eventually want to do something to clean it up more, but I'm liking it without the covers for now.

Plus the drivers side is a pain to remove and put on. Lol.

I really want to do something like this with mine if I ever get the MSD intake on. Coil relocation with some Katech or similar valve covers.

I've looked into those and thought about it for sure. I've seen some nice ones.

Getting some vibration up over 100 I only feel in the steering wheel so going to take it in and have them check the wheel/tire balance.

Balances are free so figured I'd get that out of the way first.

Ordered a helmet this morning. Track opens up with Test/Tune April 5/6. Going to try and get down there for it depending on time and weather.

As long as I can get a couple things sorted out, I plan on taking it to the local drag strip April 5 as long as weather is good to do a few test and tune runs.
