  1. Got my frankenstein big brake setup on last weekend. Also got the downpipe on and have the clutch system sorted. Caliper to wheel clearance is close. I may get a small spacer to put on just for insurance. http://imgur.com/a/AwNco
  2. I am actually going to order stainless braided lines with black jacketing to run from the master to prop. valve soon. I was looking at it after I did it and really didn't like the look of it and didn't feel comfortable with it. I may just end up taking it to a shop and letting them do it all over with better tooling once I run them, I need to remake my right front line with a stress loop built in. I may wait until after I tune it for that.
  3. A lot of progress in modern automotive engineering has been made due to the aftermarket pushing the envelope. Taking that away will no doubt harm progress made.
  4. I was talking about Brian who "owns" the shop. I have no clue who his chassis guy is but his work can only get better than Brians.
  5. The issue is this car was built before social media and in the beginning of car forums so not much is known about it and when pics and word did get out of it rumor is the owner flipped and the builder paid to make people hush. Most the high end builds on any platform is usually kept quiet it seems. Id think due to a mix of "trade secrets" and just too much happening to keep track of
  6. Trying to get done for track day Album of latest work added
  7. It is/was a Norwood car. http://www.bobnorwood.com/Norwood%20Story.html In the 90's nothing was bolt on for these cars and basically everything on it performance related is one off with nothing else like it. The turbo kit is one off, now a legit HKS TT setup for a Mk4 goes for damn near $10,000.
  8. Fuel system is basically done. Need to run 2 -8 from post filter to the fuel rail and then leak test it. https://imgur.com/a/clccB
  9. The cam position sensor setup is....interesting. Whole car could stand to be brought into the 21st century though lol
  10. May require head gasket changes between pulls though. http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/cto/5703807025.html
  11. Oh... I've seen some of the wiring the owner has done. Hopefully his fab guy is on the other end of the quality spectrum.
  12. Ugh I have a wedding to attend. Hopefully I'll make the next one. Was going to have the car ready as well.
  13. I dont even explain anymore. They gave me a funny look today when i told them to place the 2012 GL350 Benz rotors under the 1988 Supra warranty file :lolguy:
  14. When I was at AutoZone they said the phone is more important that the customer at the counter. I said horseshit to that, I've got someone here willing to spend cash and some tire kicker on the line again. I've been lucky and always had great service, I've got to be on a first name basis with the guys at the parts stores I frequent which helps out a lot.
  15. Mothly update time Debated selling again since i desperately want money for school. Ended up being immature and irrational and decided to keep it and just get loans so I can afford a T56 magnum conversion this winter and get this thing running for fall drag day. I had hoblick powdercoat my compressor housing and valve covers, my bay looks immensely better and the colors really compliment each other. Today I am installing a wilwood adjustable proportioning/combination valve and mostly new brake lines as well as a master cylinder brace. Half done and taking a break for lunch. Some pics in the album below. Hopefully getting the remainder of the fuel system put together and leak test both systems this week once my brake parts come in. https://imgur.com/a/Kejs7
  16. I wouldnt risk it some magic spray, I'd be replacing everything involved
  17. Can you explain yourself?
  18. If you can even call it that Who are you for and why? If you like Trump? How? He makes all these "great" ideas with seemingly no explanation behind them other than they will be great because he said it. If you like Hillary? How? She has flip flopped her whole career and pandered as well. Not to mention she didn't learn from Bill's mistake to own up to a fuck up and get it over with. I'll go stand over here while this goes up in flames.
