Did my first autox last night and I'm hooked. lots of 911's, boxters, a couple of evo's and random other cars. One of the evo's was driven by a guy from my gym, as soon as I showed up he and his friend walked up to me and said "you've got 38.16 to beat!"
a few passes later I managed a 37.24,

And I was the second fastest car there apart from this thing! I'm not even mad.

Now suspension and tires are all I want, like right meow!

Aaaand just paid for a MK turbo kit.

My plan now is to buy a vvt motor from the UK, build it and swap that in for minimal downtime. Also good to have the stock motor in case the new one decides to go boom.

You will be the first person outside the USA to have one of my setups, and honestly most likely the only one to have one of my setups.

Got a package today. Throwing them on over the weekend. Lots of people over here use them and I still haven't heard a bad thing about them so I decided to give them a try

And news outlets used a picture of me while talking about street racing, even if the cops were just talking to me and I was sitting as a passenger in that stealth. That night I was volunteering at a huuuge car meet and they decided they would try to ticket as many people as they possibly could after the official meet for the most minor infractions. A friend even had 5 cops surround him and try to push him into signing a ticket for dark taillights that came stock on his car.

Here's what it looks like on the settings out of the box. way too low for my taste and I'll raise it tomorrow. Alignment on tuesday and autox on wednesday.

And yes. A smaller license plate is on the way

It was there simply as ballast so the car wouldn't get blown away by winds ;)

Alright. First time driving the full track, this is a brand new track and still being built. It's an add on to the previous quarter mile track. And I gotta tell you, turning on to a wet drag strip is scary as fuck, it's sooooooo slippery.



G3ML1NGZ 06-10-2016 01:55 PM

I have an errand to run in the UK early next month. and I've picked up a VVT motor with a squaretop manifold which I'll build during the winter. Things are getting exciting

Uuuuhm. Anyone have a spare drivers side headlight connector?

shuiend 06-30-2016 02:33 PM

NB1? I am pretty sure I do. Not sure when I will be done with your turbo setup though, or I would throw it in the box with it. Might check out Ballenger motorsports to see if they have it.

G3ML1NGZ 06-30-2016 04:15 PM

I'll do a temp fix and most likely just put some time aside to do a projector conversion of these lights asap. Just trying to find out if other cars that use the same bulbs use the same plug.

Edit : neeevermind, any h4 connector should work. Buying new ones tomorrow

VertBert 06-30-2016 11:19 PM

Look on eBay for a ceramic plug. I got a pair of connectors for my car for like 8 USD shipped. It keeps the connector from ever melting again.

Do you mean the very generic H4 connector?
That have been around for ages in all auto parts stores. Might be less common now than 10-20 years ago.

G3ML1NGZ 07-15-2016 12:37 PM

Nb2 motor arriving tomorrow from the UK. Decided that I'll use my storage room as a workspace for the engine build, so I bought an engine stand today.

Does anyone have the turbo kitty stencil? I tried googling and searching on here but found nothing


sixshooter 07-15-2016 03:22 PM

PM your address to me and I'll send you a decal for it and your car, too.

G3ML1NGZ 07-16-2016 02:18 AM

btw. what size bolts and thread pitch for the transmission mount so I can throw the engine on the stand as soon as it comes

NiklasFalk 07-16-2016 04:49 AM

M12x1.5 the same as wheel studs.
I welded normal bolts on some scrap studs.
