Thanks guys,

So my serpentine belt and turbo blanket are scheduled for delivery today which means I can get the car back together tonight and hopefully get some logs of a pull to make sure boost is still good after messing with the preload.

New serpentine belt came in and my turbo blanket. This was a pain in the *** to install on the car, but I was too impatient to wait for it to get here before installing the turbo and manifold. Hopefully it keeps things nice and cool in there from now on. Tomorrow morning I'll start the car and go for a drive. I don't want to wake up the neighborhood at this time of night

My buddy bought a new GoPro black edition this weekend and wanted to strap it to my evo. We went through lime creek road in Austin by what used to be a lake before it dried up lol.

I wasn't on my good wheels and tires so I was taking it easy and I also don't like to drive too crazy with a passenger in the car... I'm okay doing something stupid when it's just me but I don't like putting a passenger at risk. Anyways, it's his first time using the GoPro and first time editing. We will definitely be making more videos with better angles in the future.

Nice! I've driven there before.

Do you think he slowed down his video to show you, too?

I'll hit you up next time I'm in Austin. I'd love to see your car.

Ohhh I see what he meant haha. The guy in the Ferrari was just a rich old man, he was probably going to get groceries. This road goes around a lake in Austin where some high rollers live, so you see tons of nice cars in that area. During the time we filmed this, there was a cars and coffee meet going on that was the biggest meet yet because the history channel was there to scout cars for a new series they might shoot in Austin based on the turnout that day. I think there were 500cars I heard. I didn't feel like waking up early enough to clean the car and swap wheels, so we drove around instead.
