good shit ant.... I used to have a set of AEBS Cam gears and actually tuned my car there back in the day... I still want the AEBS spark plug wire cover.. as you said their shit if hard to find.. Glad you got the broken piece extracted and lets get this baby finished..

Tommy (kurobei) has one on his. And he has the fuel rail. He pays to play more than I do lol.

Yeah man just a few more things to add. Gotta see if auto part stores are open today.

Ya know?! I was pissed. I think I even yelled out loud. If I were you I'd laugh too haha.

Yea man, I broke a ton of things on my cb too man, I expect to break more things later on down the road too. Shit happens and it's a learning process everytime

Dont be so strong armed man, I had to laugh at that lil mishap tho, what are the odds breaking the gauge and 2 bits.

Very nice.... Im going to have to try that tape thing sometime....intersting

[jdm_inspired]

Very close to running, I have been delayed for a few reasons. Some wires extentions, replacing parts for cosmetic purposes... a LOT of work, even though there isn't much left.

So for the not so pocket friendly part.

I received an AEBS fuel rail over a year ago. Never really installed it til a few weeks ago. Let me tell you this AEBS is R.A.R.E. You will not find another one of these online. Trust me I tried. I'll get to that.
Anyway I bought this and finally decided to buy a liquid filled gauge for injector-tuning purposes. Well turns out when I tried to install the gauge, it wasn't a proper fit. It was a little rough to twist but the threads seemed correct.

So me being me, I twisted slowly...

and...it got so tight that...

Well...



Yes. It broke. MOTHA FUCKA. My Hulk SMASH arms broke it. Why? I'm retarded. Oh well it's ok. It's just a $30 gauge no worries. So I get an extractor bit and drill a hole through to extract the fitting.

Extractor bit broke. Really?

So I get that out and try a bigger extractor bit.... Broke inside again.


From this point, I wanted to throw my fuel rail like a Nola Ryan pitch to my windshield. If any of you know me I pay to play. I don't bullshit and I don't settle for the minimal. I can't justify an AEM fuel rail purchase (not that there's a problem with them but I'm into the uncommon), especially since I have something so rare and hard to find.

I bought this rail for $160. Expensive but again, pay to play. Leaving myself no options I went to a machine shop with an awesome owner who knows his shit.

"You really fucked this thing up". --Yes I did.

"So the only way to get it out was to laser this bitch out".

???

He asked me if I could buy another one instead and I said its discontinued. So quoted $160 to remove it, I paid $130. Ouchie.



He ended up installing a new fitting. Said the rail was already cross-threaded so that explains why it was so hard to screw in the gauge. So I basically bought a messed up rail...kinda. Brass on aluminum is better than aluminum on aluminum so he says. Whatever, as long as it works again.







I did notice he left some shavings in the rail so I removed the fittings. Good thing I did. There was tons of it in there. I also have new fuel fittings to install anyway.

Old:


If any of you want to tighten fittings the cheap way, I figured wrapping electrical tape around the fitting protects the scratch completely.



And the result:

That's tape residue btw

My update so far. Off the pc and onto the car.

And to think...my money went all downhill from here...










and my car went uphill from here...

In the words of kurobei... what a spaghetti factory.
