  1. Dats the plate doh? Dont want to muck up the thread, PM me!
  2. You dont mess around! Looks great!
  3. Ryan got em' And a free Mexican Vacation in the process.
  4. One day I will run this Supra. Car is about perfect my man. Honestly on my top 5 favorite builds ever list.... 1) Top Secret Skyline-the original Wangan Spaceshuttle 2) Top End Supra 3) F Bomb Camaro 4) EL MIRAGE" Our Grass roots AWD car 5) IM SINGL Supra I will let you know about local rentals coming up. Awesome to see all of the time/work come together so well!
  5. I was temped to put them on Ebay, one at a time. Maybe I am making a mistake here?
  6. Yup, they looked GREAT on my car sitting on jack stands, but they would need spaced in the rear, and wide fenders up front to work. I have wheels that look OK now, so I am not in a big hurry to cut the car up to fit a wheel.
  7. Sorry for the late reply guys! Yes, all 4. Picked up in CLE. Its what I paid for them, so I am passing along the deal. First come first serve!
  8. Not for a while, or ever, for this motor. She aint broke, so I'm not fixing it!
  9. According to 95% of LS1 tech, I'm well past that. :dumb:
  10. After seeing a little smoke on my RPM/Shifting test pulls, I wanted to take it fro a drive, and see if I lost any coolant. After 30 minutes to and from work, traffic, and several power pulls, no coolant was passed and the car runs cool. Oddly enough, the smoke was significantly reduced from the previous trip. Still need a EVAC system badly, bit I am happy to assume the HG's are still in tact-a worry of mine on stock HG's and TTY bolts! http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/_20150618_182825.jpg the HG's are still in tact-a worry of mine on stock HG's and TTY bolts!
  11. Boom. And people wonder why I have a short turn times and sacrifice quality to save a buck my personal builds... 1) I like money, and I hate spending it knowing I wont get ti back (AKA-car mods) 2) I want to drive my freakin' car!
  12. That 3% of my total build budget. I will have to get that approved by Zip Tie's finance team.
  13. What are you doing with the old pump? Sounds like with some sanding and cleaning, thats the oil pump for may "stage 2" motor.
  14. May be a dumb question-but is this at all a worry on an LS1? 1) I dont have a warning light, so I Likely would not catch an oil pressure until something was making unwelcome noise. 2)I dont want to spend any money on a motor I have $0 into lol
  15. What was asking price?
  16. All stereotypes although often exagerated, are rooted in turth
  17. Im excited! I Enjoy rowing the gears.....but not enough to make 4 shifts a pass lol
  18. Between wedding and 2 kids B day parties… I had some time to take the car on a drive to get groceries…..I was just sure to take it to the store a few exits away.  The good news-the BoBo Tach works GREAT! No drop in RPM, no erratic signal-nothing. So I would assume that the signal coming from the ECU is good-and my VDO tach is junk. Bad news-I noticed a little smoke on the way home after a pull. Could not tell if it was on decel or WOT. The car has NO catch can or evac of any kind, and that has solved a lot of issues like this in the past-so that will be the next mod. Car felt strong and was not running hotter than normal-so I won’t worry about the motor just yet. Next, did some test pulls and shifted when I “thought” I needed to shift. Using my phone in a very sketchy manner, I found out that I short shifter 3-4 at 5600, and 4-5 at 5400!!!!! No wonder the car fell on its face on the track!!! Evidently I have to calibrate my ear’s tachometer. The best news-winding 4th to redline netted very good transient response in the shift to 5th gear. It still takes more time to recover than the first 3 shifts, but it was 100% better than it was on track. I am hopeful what with no other changes beyond a proper 4-5 shift that I will pick up some MPH and ET. Once That is sorted, I can try to hit my 2nd boost stage earlier and/or turn up the 2nd stage boost level. I have some things to do before my next track visit, but I am excited at the prospects of improving the performance with no additional $$$$ added!
  19. I have these, no tires http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/JimJr/TENTH_ANN_WHEELS.jpg $200 picked up (real FORD, not Reps) 17x9 square
  20. Eric's car is super OG. Cool then, cool now-timeless!
  21. Super clean, but for 30k I'm getting a Gen 3 Viper!! We just did a Benz 300D swap into a 70's jeep. 20+mph with lots of cool smoke and turbo noises!
