Fatcat, tein mono, or something good in general. FCM is working on some shit with external tanks now too.

:sleep:

previous block was too rusted out to do anything with... and i got a word about that about 3 months after i dropped it off at machine shop... so i had to get new block and this one looks very good. build pics coming soon. car should be done in few weeks!
|
oh well...will check back in the fall
|
suspension bushings are in. brakes are half-way done (need rotors and prop valve.) hard top on the way.
|
tdr splitter and header blanket are here.
|
Take some fucking pictures. Am just as bad about using my digicam but I at least take some with my Iphone and post them. Build threads with updates without pics are LAME.
|
Yes, the crows wants PICTARZZ
|
I would like to cast my vote for LAMEST BUILD THREAD OF THE YEAR. Moar pics to reverse lame status.
|
Srsly, this makes my build thread look like I was hand-fabbing an ATOM.
|
going to shop tomorrow to snap some pics. apparently suspension bushings are in, brakes are mostly in, and cage is half-way bolted/welded up :)
|
A build thread with out pics is actually a shopping/wish list isn't it?
Pics or it didn't happen. |
arranged for my tuner to come to the shop for initial cranking of motor (so he can supervise it and make me a base map before we crank it for the first time)
|
Some pics finally. Good stuff:)
|
hardtop is coming today. will take pics when i get home :)
|
hardtop is here and looks good. its very dark in garage for cell phone pics and i dont know where my camera is so hold on until i get it on my car.
here is how my friend got his hard top (also chaser and also shipped and received on same days as me): http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2127/...c9f392.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2610/...a435d9.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2434/...856fbf.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2542/...d12903.jpg?v=0 |
Good call on that fiberglass top!
Sucks for your friend though, what the hell did they use to pack his top, bricks? |

serious WTF? |
sounds like someone wants to plow you! :makeout:
|
i haz m-tuned rear bbk
|
lighten up folks, it was a joke
clearly you're not familiar with WeHo so where is the turbo? |
no turbo :)
|
i haz supertech +1mm black nitrated valves all around. i think its enough shopping for today...
|
More pics! What are the details on the internals, what ECU are you running and what is your target whp?
|
This is the worst build thread to date. Complete lack of pics. Unacceptable...
|
'01 block
- m-tuned rods - supertech 11.5:1 85.5mm pistons - acl bearings '00 head - supertech +1mm valves - port-matching - ported/tuned intake mani aem standalone. shooting for ~170-180whp without cams and 200-210whp with cams on race gas. |
ill take more pics as shit progresses. right now, there has been no progress in past few weeks. also, keep in mind that i see the car like once every couple of weeks
|
210 whp NA?
LIQUID SCHWARTZ! Cause otherwise... no way. |
everything is possible but these are just assumptions/speculations. if i hit 160whp - ill be HAPPY
|
That you should be able to do without too much trouble. It's high but reasonable. Should be a fun car, post more pics than you ever thought possible.
|
ill take pics as we start putting motor together and and all other fun crap. right now there isnt anything exciting to photograph
|
picking up diff seals, bearings, and valve guides and seals tomorrow. will be at the shop on saturday. oh, and i haz fm afco ;)
|
afco???
Sweet, anyway. |

This build thread sucks. Take some god dam pictures dude. Even pictures of boxes would be better than just reading text.
