1) AAA Gold membership is only 80$, and comes with 4 free tows up to 100 miles for the year (every DSM guy has one And you can call, buy, and use it immediatly. Food for though for the future...

2) Have a link to that radiator? May work perfect for what I am trying to do.

I don't doubt that, but my entire life is centralized around this area. I'm not ready to move that far away and start over at this point in my life.

You play your cards right...its leveling up not starting over.

Offer to operate BPA on a P&L out of their shop. They W2 you $$$ you their shop Fab work but BPA operates as a separate entity IN their pre existing operation. You get paid from both ways.

Everyone wins.

Unless BPA itself is keeping the lights on? I just know from being in that business int he past you have to move a LOT of manifolds to make any real money. When I worked with Shearer, we had to move 4 manifolds a month just to cover our fixed overhead. That's 48 manifolds a year to make $0 dollars.

Do it- Fuck it. What do you have to lose?

tell them you need an 80k salary and Fridays off, see if they bite.

DIY Bro, dont make excuses!

BPA?

buy a welder?

Yes to the 3.13 rear gear. No to the 4th being 1:1

 

From Wiki

Ah, makes sense-gearing is about perfect really with a 3.13

Now you can really feel my pain with a 4.11, 4th 1:1, and 6k rpm redline.

Hope to see you car make a few more passes in 2015

 

Got home and tore into it last night to diagnose the pump actually being dead, and It still boggles my mind. Ordered a new pump from Summit and it should be here today. Hope to have the car back up and running by this weekend.

Return the broke one in 45 days.

BAM! Free fuel pump.

I subscribe to the very aggressive break in method.

Only way

Sounds like an absolute blast!

It was worth whatever happened to the motor, I'll say that!!!

Some-none that I have thought so I have to wait for people to post stuff

So this weekend was the DSM shootout. If you guys have never been, make the trip! The Fastest GTRs and Mitsubishi powered vehicles in the country come out every year for this.

Car show and dyno day Friday

Race Saturday/Sunday. Unfortunately since the car is not a Mitsu or GTR, my run time was super limited to TnT

Here is how the runs went-all runs at 17-18psi

First run-good launch-car is shutting down every shift. Feel like fuel slosh, but I have 5 gallons in the tank? 10.8@128. Also noted wide band was DEAD. Great, guess I am not turning it up. :-[

Put 4 more gallons in and take it out for a test hit- problem is GONE. Must have been shosh!! Man I need a sump!

Second run-roll out 1st and hammer down-car is all over the place but running well. Not thinking, I short shift into 5th AGAIN, and I have ZERO psi (the car was actually violently surging between 0 and 5 psi) so I toss it in neutral and coast through the traps....to a 10.3@136. :banghead: That was my 9!!!!

Next pass, I let her have it off the line, and snapped the drivers side axle. As a reminder, this is an NA LSD, so I am shocked it lasted this long as is!!

http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_8238.jpg

Fixed the axle, and TnT was closed. They would not run it the rest of the night! Partied the rest of the night, and drove home.

I can say I have never been more disappointing to run a low 10 second pass in my life

Here are a few vids. the 10.8 slosh, and the 10.3 coasting through the traps in neutral. Sorry for the facebook link, I have asked the camera man to upload to youtube.

I was so annoyed that I botched that run, I wanted to see what 20+psi was like on the street. The car goes lean on the dyno in the upper RPM's over 20psi and my wideband was dead, but I didn't care. Maybe it was my pride? Maybe it was all the pork and beans from the PR track crew? Maybe it was the Coronas? Who knows, but that LS1 was in trouble.

When I was within 10 miles of home, I pulled over and gave the MBC a few cranks, here goes nothing! Test hit spiked just past 20psi. Like it So I slowed down to test a 40 roll. 40 in 2nd was 100% useless-I just buried the limiter. Lets try 3rd, more of the same. So I decided to do a 4th gear roll on.

It spun so violently that the car almost came around me at 100+. I had to lift and use the next 2 lanes over to get it sorted out. Glad It was 5am! I did a 3-4th pull with my foot controlling boost and let her have it in 5th. FUCK. I wish I had the Vbox because that was ridiculous.

Noticed the car was getting warm on my exit, but there is NO one out, and a mile of Blacktop before my street. So, I did what every other hooligan would do and did a 1-2-3-4 rolling burnout. By the time I got home, coolant temp was pegged at 250+. I may have tweaked the HG, but Im not worried. It gives me an excuse to but a HG, studs, and springs in it so I can spin it to 6500 and hopefully alleviate my boost drop issue going into 5th.

What a night!

Nope, working, and kids prevent attendance as usual. It's been so long since I've been to a track, I doubt I would know what to do.

Hand out, drink beers, hand wrenches to the modders.

Bring em' up, we have a tent and lactating women!

I will try my best to save you a spot. If you just drive the car im sure we can squeeze you in. If you bring a truck and trailer, we will have to try to work something out.

 

I will PM you my phone number so you can text me. I don't have yours.

At this point since I am coming later Im the day Saturday, it looks like Im driving and tossing everything in the car with me. Street Car shit!

Cant wait to see you run at the shootout this weekend!

 

If you want to Pit with me and the group of Y-town folks, feel free to do so. We will be at the gates right as they open. Hope to get a spot track side with an outlet just past the bleachers.

Are you guys pitting Friday? I am coming home after the Dyno day to prep the Fam for the weekend- and will be back Saturday for TnT, and staying overnight to encourage as many Shootout Shenanigans as possible!

If you guys can leave a spot open for me Saturday I would appreciate it, text me later this week and we can work out the details.

I have to admit, I cant believe I own this thing!!! Super happy with the outcome.

Next up-finalize the intake. Hopefully it is an improvement.

I would also like to get 340's in the tank so I can safely run 20+psi in 4th and 5th and see what I can get out of the 4.10 rear gear. If I take 4th to redline, its still falls quite flat on the shift to 5th, but I am sure the increased boost will help that issue.

The ad seemed to be a typical "I hate to sell my baby but an opportunity of a lifetime has presented itself" instead of a "I have a car for sale" ad.

 

Again, my impression is omission of the actual intent. Trust me, I'm not losing sleep over old ugly hipster porsches....

 

Let's just say I can visualize who this guy is, what he looks like, and how he does business.

If the add is materially accurate, the rest is just a "sales pitch". If that's his pitch and it works, more power to him IMO. I would only have issue if he was trying to misrepresent the car.

I have no issue with people making dollars. I have issues with people saying one thing and doing another.

Whats the specific issue you have with this listing? Description seems accurate?

Dont think he is the fastest? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scd_9spYOiU

He has gone faster as well

Once Seventy Freakin' 5?!

Fak!

OP- Nice Supra!

As for intro threads, for fun I tried to find mine. It looks like I may never have posted one? Funny the frist 5 threads I posted turned into complete shit shows...funny to re-read them.

Ah, to be young again.
