Too early at 8am to one of my shops for a leakdown test. I'll letcha all know how it turns out. My previous exageration of my oil consumption was a bit more of an exageration than I thought. I'd say I use a quart in 1k or 1.5k miles. No where near as bad as every 500 miles. And about gas mileage, I thought I got worse than I actually do, but I have been forgetting to account for the fact that my odometer reads 4.6miles per 5 miles, and that's even with tires that are SMALLER than stock. So, for example, on my last tank, which included me idling around in traffic for the better part of 2 hours, highway speeds(65-80mph), and maybe 10 minutes or so of fun stuff, I got 21.6 mpg. Not bad at all IMO for the situation. If I had an OD I'm sure I'd be capable of getting something along the lines of 26+mpg on the highway. That'd be awesome. I'll save that job for the wagon though... Even though I want it(mpg) right now...

So for today and tomorrow, I hope to get the electric fan installed, the Momo steering wheel installed, my tranny fluid changed to Redline MT-90, (I put redline oil in the rear end on saturday morning, I like it!). I might do some body work as well and get the new rear taillights cleaned up and put in as well. I got a new hood for those of you that haven't seen it yet also. I probably won't get around to painting it quite yet, but I'll be painting the trim for front turn signals and maybe other areas of the car. OH, and I might get around to porting my extra SU manifold. I won't install it until after I either swap heads, or get the valve guides replaced, or know for sure that I'm just going to leave it as it is(most likely what is going to happen, especially if I'm just going to be driving the 145 around until the 142 gets more beastlike... ;D)

Pictures will come!
