To my surprise, after not being in contact with this guy since last April, I e-mailed him yesterday and here's my reply:

 

By the way, I'm at work right now, so I can't posts the new pics of the car with the new 3.8L engine until around 8pm EST. BUT I WILL...it actually looks pretty good...

 

Hey, Jeff!

I have been busy around the end of the year and just

got some time to respond on my e-mails. It was around

the end of september when I burned a head gasket on my

car and instead of fixing it I decided to change the

whole heart of my car-I got a 1999 3.8L Supercharged

from Buick Regal and today I just fired it for first

time...Man, it was too long of waiting for this

moment.

I didn't drive it yet,just adding more fluids to it,

but I know it will be nice to drive it. I went the

extra mile and made my own mandrel bent 2.5" exhaust

with flowmaster muffler,high flow cat and 3" downpipe.

Other than that-removed PCV and EGR systems, 3.25"

blower pulley and 7th (!) injector running at more

than 9PSI boost. I am expecting around 285HP at the

crank.Well,few other things-big intake pipe,scoop for

it located on the fender between the tire and the side

marker light,boost gauge,things like that. I am

sending you bunch of pics as well as updated list of

all my expences,yup all of it.OK, buddy gotta go, here

are the pics.Catch you later.

 

Keep in mind, his English isn't all THAT good:)

Don't tell him yet. Better let that 1st thread about him drop to the 2nd page! :twisted:

 

Yeah, I don't understand why you started another topic about the same thing anyway.

So you don't understand, that's not my problem...nevermind then, delete it...you're Mr. "In Control"...

 

Keep policing the board, that's really cool...

Well I'm sick of redturbo90 trying to tell me, and probably others, how to use a message board...like I don't know!

 

He complained once that I had 3 posts regarding my battery/charging system on the first page(even though they were different issues)...well FUCK, I guess I can't post anything else because it might actually have to do with my car...I might end up having 3 posts on one page concerning my car...isn't that JUST wrong?

 

I think everyone else here has done it, or understands that sometimes when we start a New thread regarding a similar topic, it's to try and draw MORE attention to it...and let people know HEY, THERE'S MORE DEVELOPMENT...I do it ALL THE TIME on other forums, and people do the same...

 

But I guess I'm just annoying everyone here?

No, it's not wrong. You had a at least 3 threads about your battery and they all said almost the same thing. Reply in one of them and it goes to the top. That gets attention as much as posting multiple times about it. I am not going to argue with you about this. Take it to PM if you don't like me.

 

P.S. Sorry for trying to keep the board a little organized. :roll:
