  1. if he doesn't have a v8 in that rex I am not interested especially with that haircut.

     

     

    Even at 20psi, I quite sure my pile is faster. "Feels" like bottom 11's at mid 120's traps to my butt dyno.

     

     

    Younger version of this guy?

    I could only wish. ;)

  2. How about a Max Air Competition?

     

    Hit some big wake following a buddies 40+foot Boat.

    And this one was told to be WAY over 40 foot-hit the wake at full song (55mph). Needless to say...

    I biffed it. :eek: When I was up, and realized I was much higher than the boat- got iffy about trying to land it. Always next time...

  3. That sucks man.... its always something.

     

    My clutch gave me problems all day. Worst part is I have a twin disk sitting in my garage. I just didnt have time to install it.

     

    Clutch installs in Evos are not fun!

     

    Yeah it sucks you couldn't run today JP, but PROPS TO YOU for getting a car in that condition running and driving in that time frame. It was cool talking with you today. This shootout was a blast!

     

    Thanks! It was a stretch, and Im upset the China let go so early, but Im glad it runs this well, and I made it home, back..ect

     

     

    Any updates?

    Yes, found a used Garret Locally for cheap. I am hoping the China uses a direct copy Stage 3 turbine as I suspect, so this turbo "may" slide right in.

  4. Quick update.

     

    Motor Out, Apart. Bottom end looks and feels ok. All lifters fucked. Hopefully I was right on that. Head Gasket WAY fucked.http://doitbig.org/coltboostin/pics/4GX7/shootout08/august15%20006.jpg

    Ready for another GO

    And for your Fuzion of the day, since the GT45 is bad, and I only have a T$ manifold that I made work with the RX-7, and I only have T3 50 trims sitting around, what should I do?

     

    http://doitbig.org/coltboostin/pics/4GX7/shootout08/august15%20017.jpg

    Make it T4. :)

     

    Back to work...

  5. If there is anything I hate, its being a spectator at a race event. Since I sold my recent Colt GT, I think its time to pull the Fuzion RX-7 out of Mothballs, and go all out tomorrow in hops of getting it together for the shootout.

     

    The Issues-

     

    4 Months of weeds!

    Motor Knock (sounds like a spun bearing, but Im convinced its in the head)

    Tranny non shifting issue

    Lack of injectors

    100% sure there is a head gasket issue

    Lack of a good turbo (GT45 Damaged when it was installed on the Colt)

     

     

    This is how it sits today. Its more Part of the garden, then part of my fleet.
