buffed a bit tonight!
Looks good. I think it was just oil or something on the snout. I was gonna say why not do the snout? But yeah it looks good and props to one of the few girls that WORK on their own cars.

thanks! yeah, it's like in all the pics the snout looks weird, but it's shining up pretty good with the buffer lol and thanks! it's funny, people are always surprised that it's my car like if the bf and i go somewhere in it or at shows if we decide to take only one of our cars and take mine, we'll be cleaning it and people will start talking to him about it i'm like

i've been in the garage with my dad a lot since as long as i can remember lol

Yeah, I don't know a lot of girls that work on their cars. It's my dream to find a girl that's into cars as much as I am

Shes lucky I taught her the right way. My theory is don't do it unless your going to do it right!

I am very proud of her. Shes done 90% percent of the work. The other 10% is me polishing the supercharger because its to heavy for her to hold for a long time.

Of course there is things that she doesn't know, but that's why she has me and of her dad.

All in all its turning out good, and should be running next weekend!

thats right, hence my determination to polish that blower. doing it righttt. ...i learned alot from my dad too since i was like 5 working in the garage with him good thing you guys can answer my dumb questions sometimes!!

but proud of me?! dawwwhh thaankss! good thing you can hold the supercharger at the buffer! lol i prefer the smaller buffing things on the drill so then i dont have to hold the supercharger which actually ended up working well to get down in corners and such...

i'm like a kid waiting for christmas waiting for the damn tune cant freaking wait.

ugh, idk about the tuning today now. the plan was to get the last couple things done last night and tune today...we get to putting the intake on. easy enough, right? wrong.

it hits my damn brake lines, apparently because it's a 3 inch, so it wont sit right to connect to the other half. wtf. so now idk what i'm gonna do about that.

I had to cut my coupler that attached the intake to tb once the intake is on mine doesnt hit the lines but at first it will wat i did was attached the intake and tb together first off the car then installed it to sc but easier said than done plus my intake is a 2 piece which allowed me to do that
