Recent projects
well norton tunings been on a clean up stage so we havent done really much and we have been working on little things like recently we have work on one of our buddies cars which is an 96 acura integra and we had to install a power steering system back in to the car. well when i was about to start the project come the car was at norton tuning i looked at some of the parts that he had to get. one thing he had to get was the power steering pump got it, mounting bracket 1 of 2 but i found an extra one he needed so that worked out, and he got hella random bolts that i dont even know that it goes to i tried to search the part number up and i came up with just the bolt no idea where it goes. so i had some parts but not all so i just looked for some bolt that might work with it and i got the power steering line on the pump bolted but no belt that fits and no and no ruber hose for the canister so had and he had like 40 bucks worth of bolts and none of them fit so it was all useless. so we have to put it off till next time but the car is hella clean tho here is some pics

the red wonder
lol well brandon blew his motor again in his rx7. i dont exactly know what happend tho but he had a new motor put in after the rebuild and come to find out his turbo was a little bad it was burining hella oil. i had a turbo sitting in my back yard and wasnt going to use it and he put it on and ran it for a little while well suposedly he went out racing and blew it up. so he limped it all the way back to my house and now its parked there for like 4 months + now but its kool as long as i know he is going to work on it if not give it to me lol.
but the reason for it to blow what he told me was cause the turbo that he had that leaked had a ported wastegate (A wastegate is a valve that diverts exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel in a turbocharged engine system. Diversion of exhaust gases regulates the turbine speed, which in turn regulates the rotating speed of the compresser. The primary function of the wastegate is to regulate the maximum boost pressure in turbocharger systems, to protect the engine and the turbocharger.) to prevent it from boost spiking ( when you dont want to boost more but it dose it on its own) well my turbo was never ported and suposedly he boost spiked so thats why it blew again thats what he said i have no idea i just thought it might be funny to put up

norton tuning is finally getting cleaned up
well if you read the previous post how there was like hella cars at my house well there still is but most of them are finally leaving or something is going to happen to it. what i still have left is 2 integras 4 rx7s and 1 vw bug and thats it i mean i still have my new rx7 that i am slowly working on which i will be starting a blog about it one day. by the way the bug is up for sale lol if anyone wants it but when i got my car it had full red interior and daves old one had full back so i bout it from him and tore out all the red and slowly working on the black interior in to it. and now that car is ready to get junked. then i sold my white rx7 in my back yard my first rx7 ever but its cool tho cause its just a shell i just have to make it a rolling chase and it will be gone then there was daves other black rx7 thats gone and then theres just haks integra whenever he decides to finish that and daves integra thats in front of my house. other then that we have brandons red rx7 that needs to be rebuilt again cause it blew up and brandons bug. other then that i have my turbo rx7 daves turbo rx7 and my civic and my parents cars and my neibors car. then norton tuning will be back to almost the way it was.
