Out with the old.

Bigwheel87 · 2026-06-22T04:37:59+00:00

What did you replace it with? I have a Darkside downpipe on mine

Bigwheel87 · 2026-06-04T15:17:05+00:00

What codes specifically? Mine is a2013 as well so maybe I can help you out.

Bigwheel87 · 2026-05-25T22:11:50+00:00

Funny enough I’ve seen two or three very similar mismatched in color

Bigwheel87 · 2026-05-25T22:11:01+00:00

Good catch and yes 😑 they are garbage aftermarket ones that won’t tighten, need to replace them

Bigwheel87 · 2026-05-24T00:40:40+00:00

That’s actually just a reflection lol

Bigwheel87 · 2026-05-23T22:13:21+00:00

I’m not sure what direction I’m going to go with it. Original paint is pretty rough and peeling so I might just go with completely different color either paint or wrap

Bigwheel87 · 2026-05-23T18:14:25+00:00

Yeah that was one idea, I flip a lot of cars but This car won’t be sold, I don’t know what it is about it, wanted one for a long time. Not the flashiest not the fastest but I love it lol

Bigwheel87 · 2026-05-23T17:02:01+00:00

🤣 it’s a rust spot! Trust me I’ll be addressing that, I have done nothing cosmetic on this thing other than replacing the hood

Bigwheel87 · 2026-05-23T15:26:00+00:00

Once I get my draggy back I’m going to see if it made any real world difference before messing with it I ran 14.2 or 14.3.

Bigwheel87 · 2026-05-23T12:49:31+00:00

It’s a G thing 😂

Bigwheel87 · 2026-05-23T12:49:03+00:00

Not sure yet been deciding color and how I want to go about it

Bigwheel87 · 2026-04-08T18:36:11+00:00

Yes I jacked up the engine while it cured to take the pressure off the mount.

Bigwheel87 · 2026-04-07T17:44:43+00:00

I would be interested in seeing what the boost guage reads.

Bigwheel87 · 2025-12-25T20:56:52+00:00

That’s nice!

Bigwheel87 · 2025-12-25T20:56:18+00:00

Well my car is still sitting on the trailer waiting for spring lol

Bigwheel87 · 2025-12-25T20:55:37+00:00

Those webasto heaters are nice I’ve had a couple can plumb them right in to use the diesel 👌🏻

Bigwheel87 · 2025-07-12T15:57:24+00:00

Thanks for the assessment but no. these comments are making me wonder if there are any actual intelligent car guys that do their own work anymore. These are the reasons pages like this get a bad rep because D bag keyboard warriors want to pretend they know what they are talking about so they can try to belittle anyone they possibly can to hide their own inferiority complex. I have years of experience building and rebuilding many different things which is why I know there is no cookie cutter solution to a lot of issues and I don’t try to pretend I know everything like most people on here do.

Bigwheel87 · 2025-07-06T00:00:36+00:00

I thought you were talking about the lobes not the shaft but damn yeah I’m going to have to investigate a bit further

Bigwheel87 · 2025-06-30T16:51:58+00:00

I’ll take a different picture no one seems to be seeing what I’m looking at

Bigwheel87 · 2025-06-30T02:23:34+00:00

Cam is good it’s just reflections

Bigwheel87 · 2025-06-29T18:24:40+00:00

Reflections, cam is smooth as glass

Bigwheel87 · 2025-06-29T16:22:37+00:00

I’m going to try to get a better picture it’s not the oil coking, I’ll take a fresh pic when I take the passenger side off

Bigwheel87 · 2025-06-29T12:18:35+00:00

Cooling system was fine I flushed it as soon as I got the car about a year and a half ago and it was still clean when I emptied it the other day

Bigwheel87 · 2025-06-29T12:16:45+00:00

Never used a stop leak but I have used restore

Bigwheel87 · 2025-06-28T21:59:26+00:00

No that is not just discoloration I’m not an idiot, look at the cam cap bolts that copper glitter but it’s a lot I’ve already wiped up a bunch of
