yesterday not today but, I drained a full tank of fuel by hand into small containers. Flushed the fuel lines, put fresh fuel in the car, started right up. Now BP wants to refuse my refund or repairs because their water kick off filters failed to work? Thats right BP has refused me a refund even though I had maybe 1 gallon of fuel when I pulled in and it died as soon as I pumped in their fuel. Turns out three others bought the 93 octaine that day and athose three had catastrophic motor failure less than a mile down the road. The tester guys at the station said it had 0% fuel and that I was full of ****. (funny, it started right up when I added shell fuel).
Now the car is running funky but not bad. The BP corperate headquarters wanted me to pay a tow truck to have a shop loo at it then pay the shop to repair before they would even look at my case. They said that Im not a certified mechanic blah blaah balh..... not everyone is made of money damnit.

Just finished replacing my SC400's engine mounts. The pain of getting to the top bolt on the right side mount was so worth it after feeling how smooth she runs on new mounts. Cured all of my vibrations on the highway & I no longer have that nasty popping sound from the front crossmember when I'm turning in reverse or turning at low speeds. The best thing I've done to my SC so far!

took the shifter out of my tripod w58 to regrease and junk. reinstalled the shifter backwards accidentally for the 80th time, but for the first time said "f*** it" and drove around as is. 5th gear is now where 3rd gear used to be and 1st gear is almost over my knees. other than the fact that i can't rip up the ebrake while the shifter's in 1st or 2nd gear, i LOVE it. My lazy *** doesn't have to reach for the shifter now

I installed an R-154 manual transmission in my SC400!!!!! It is bolted up and I am just waiting for the drive shaft from DM. I can't wait to drive that powerful V8 with a manual transmission. The automatic is sooooo boring and annoying. This should be much more fun. If anyone knows the details of how to do the wiring, I could use some help. I want to eliminate the CEL that will be caused by not having shift solenoids connected. There are a few wires hanging down from the engine that were connected to the tranny but I haven't figured out exactly what to do with them all. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a Harrop HTV1900 supercharger kit on the way which will be my next install. I'm looking for somewhere in the 500-600 rwhp range when I am finished. Thank goodness I got a 1993 with stronger internals. This thing is going to be a beast.

i hope it's just a bad waterpump or some leckage. NOT headgasket!
