  1. Assume the boat is in C bus?
  2. Yes but I gave them the hit so the AMC would not run me over. Out come would have been the same, but a capable rider in the right gear on a modded 1k should leave with you at a minimum. It will make for a great video too.
  3. The outcome may not have mattered-but Jesus those where the worst starts to a roll "race" I have seen in some time! Keep it simple-give him the hit and see if you come back around him.
  4. I think Im in love.... Body is 99% done. Went down there and fired up the welder to fit up the Intercooler. Had to go forward 5 inches, down 3, and now sits at a very slight angle. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20150718_132730152.jpg http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20150718_132853242_HDR.jpg And had a spare few minutes to work on the intakes. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20150718_152918127.jpg Just need to modify the IC pipes-wash and Buff and its ready to come home for final prep before the shootout.
  5. Hey, you are out there having fun in a car YOU built that any car guy would be jealous of! Keep up the good work, and I look forward to see it run at the shootout!
  6. you guys need to get hip to http://www.aliexpress.com/
  7. Have you had the heads off? Know where or why the block is cracked? Any idea of mileage?
  8. Any interest in twins any more? I mean, I just love twins in general!
  9. Coolest Tow Vehicle ever? I'd consider a Swap for the CTS-V, but I need 4 doors.
  10. Could not physically fit them in the stock tank hole. I have to shimmy 2 in there now! It will be a massive improvement over the twin 255's that send me lean up top over 20psi on the street
  11. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG954411.jpg About ready for paint! I am in a holding pattern on mods until I get the car back, but plans are to have it ready to run in TnT at the DSMshootout. http://highboostforum.com/forum/showthread.php/29294-The-23rd-Annual-SHOOTOUT-August-7-9th-2015? Here is the list of things I'd like to do before then; Move intercooler to new location (down and forward to fit new bumper) Intakes Catch Can 340's And if time permits Tii Rear/axles just for some insurance If I can get the 340's and Tii Rear end in, I plan to leave fairly aggressively and turn up the boost. If I can get the car to fuel 20+psi till redline I am hopefully that I can hang it in 4th long enough that it does not completely lay over on the shift to 5th I'd like to see the car go mid 9's@low 150's. With the 4.11 rear end, stock redline, and going into 5th, I think that's as good as its going to get.
  12. These have the DoD that gums up and f's up correct?
  13. Thanks for the offer-but are you in C bus? Im in CLE, so logistics there could be an issue. Still working that out. Got the Family at Great Wolf lodge Friday, so that's where I will be Friday evening. The Cleveland Colt Militia has a RV what will be parked at the track for the weekend, but I may just extend our stay at Great Wolf...not sure. But if I am at the track-I will for sure find your camp I wont be racing Friday, but plan on being ready to run Saturday as that's the best time for TnT with the new format. Really, he uses TnT as a filler. If the classes are behind, he may not run TnT at all. That happened to me one year-no bueno
  14. I suggested color change and suggested some sort of gunmetal, do to the additional cost he could not do that for free+labor in fixing it up. Its great if it works for both parties We will see how I feel when its done. Its temporary, so I am not afraid to change it back.
  15. Do it!! So, I dropped my bumper off at a buddies body shop who requested the work in exchange for a tune on his GVr4. Swung bu to drop off the key, and wash shocked to find this.............. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/paint.jpg Sorry for the tiny pic-but he decided to paint the whole car on a sponsorship basis! Still working out the details, but I will have to enter it in a few local car shows, and make sure I am running his stickers when I do. I'll take that any day. Car will still be black, but will have an added pearl. Not to flashy, but not stock either. I think with this I need to get tint ASAP, and may block plasti dip the wheels and try the full murder look.
  16. He got a smokin' deal. A Farkas car for 1/6th of Farkas pricing lol. Haters gonna hate, but you put some BS stance wheels on this thing and dump it (because those are "mods" these days) no one except the one Porsche club douche that no one liked in high school is going to know the difference. I see nothing but winning here. Great catch!
  17. Thats the goal I dont disgree-but having both and the treadstone that everyone uses in my hands back to back, I dont think there is anything to be gained there-maybe if I built a custom unit with huge Garrett cores, but I would just go A2W before I spent big $$$ on an intercooler.
  18. Slowly but surely. i think I will be keeping this one around for a while...
