Onto today's meet! Met the NEPOC crew + some at Showcase Cinemas in Woburn, took pics, then headed over to Tradecenter 128 where the real meet was happening. We ended up being one of the first ones there, and got, I think, some of the best spots.

Highlights:

NEPOC meet on the cape

Went to Altspaces today on the cape to change the oil on the car and help whomever with whatever.  Chris and Chris changed the diff and trans fluids in their respective MS6's, I put some Royal Purple in Macy and Jimmy installed a Mazdaspeed CAI.

Here's some pics from Josh (Altspace).  Pics and video from me to come later on.

get off my car! :P




the combination of these two pictures is amusing:




"how many guys does it take to work on a car?"
"none, the woman does it!"

tis all.

been a long time...

So not much new with the car, still plunking along.  I moved to Beverly so I'm trying to bike to school more (healthier and saves on gas).  Ran into a major obstacle last week when my mom informed me my registration had expired.  Had to re register the car but first pass it through emissions.

Macy had failed emissions twice two years ago when I first got her going, and I didn't think to fix it, till now.  Took her to Bahr Auto in Torrington, CT (since she's registered in CT) and they didn't me a huge favor and managed to pass her.  Nothing illegal, but he held open the EGR sensor, and she passed with flying colors.  What had happened was the EGR wasn't hitched up since I'm still using the '95 EGR with the '93 harness.  I'll just have to swap them out over the summer (either with new or the EGR from the old motor).

I have a year to fix it before she has to go through emissions again, I'll try not to forget.

In a week or so I'm going to look into getting the motor mounts replaced and completely welding up the exhaust, so that should fix it permanently, as well as fixing my wheel hop problem :)

tis all.
