Well, she was never really dead, but she’s running better than ever!

For those who have been following the blog regularly, you know that Derpy was a bit sick over the previous months. I don’t know if it was all of the stress of the move or the cold weather but she developed a case of Bad Injectors.

So I opened the garage and pulled Derpy up on this rainy day:

And these bad boys came out:

And these were put in, brand new injectors from Trilogy Turbos! Check them out at http://www.trilogyturbos.com

They’re not only shinier but they put new life into Derpy . . .almost TOO MUCH life. We’ll get to that in a second.

Next up, a recently made friend of mine decided to help me out by selling me his OVCP (Over Valve Cover Pipe) hard pipe. Replacing those yucky (and as I found out, leaky) soft pipes with one solid piece throughout.

It also looks and flows MUCH better than the stock unit. Check it out!

Now all that is left to do is find a location for the blow off valve OR have a bung (LOL! Bung) welded onto the OVCP for the BOV itself. That may prove easier, we’ll see.

Now, previously I mentioned that Derpy has new life and it’s almost TOO MUCH life. Well, the reason for that is, now that she has the new injectors and boost leaks fixed, she’s creating too much power for the stock clutch. It slips in the mid ranges. But no worries, a new clutch has been ordered, it’s an XTD Stage 3, 6-Puck Clutch.

At first I was hesitant to buy such an aggressive setup, but I figured that since Derpy is NOT a daily driver, it shouldn’t be so bad. It’ll only suck when trying to get her on the trailer, LOL!

I’ve also got on order, as I know they’re necessary, a set of coilovers. These aren’t a very well known brand, but they’re manufactured in the same building as K-Sports and D2s, at a much lower price, so I trust them. I’ve also read reviews from people who have them and none of them have complained. I can’t wait to get them installed and get some serious drifting and racing happening this year.

Here they are, they are XYZ Sports!

Sorry for the lengthy update (and sorry for not updating more often) I just recently got all of these parts in and wanted to give all of the fans the run down and let them know what’s going on!

Thank you so much for being friends, fans and family with Derpy and I, it means SOOOO much!
