You dont mess around!

Looks great!

Ryan got em'

And a free Mexican Vacation in the process.

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!

Hate you JP. One of my favorites. I would have snagged those for my fox.

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.

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!

Haha, ls9 gaskets and arp studs and your set...

Not for a while, or ever, for this motor. She aint broke, so I'm not fixing it!

Getting close to head stud time.

According to 95% of LS1 tech, I'm well past that. :dumb:

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!

I like for that money to go toward actually tracking the car and not being tied up in multi-year builds.

.

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!

Just get a Meiling or SLP they're like $140 JP lol

That 3% of my total build budget.

I will have to get that approved by Zip Tie's finance team.

It was the oil pump - relief valve was still stuck when he removed it.

What are you doing with the old pump? Sounds like with some sanding and cleaning, thats the oil pump for may "stage 2" motor.

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

This car was from VA and on the market 1 day.

What was asking price?

On3 Turbo kit. Slap on some DR's and run 10's.

Came here..

To post this!

Oddly enough, my coworker went to the parking lot where they stopped. He told me they were all Asian guys.

All stereotypes although often exagerated, are rooted in turth

Just watched the video.....car has a lot left in it for sure!

Get a good rear end in it and shift it high enough, then WOW!

Im excited! I Enjoy rowing the gears.....but not enough to make 4 shifts a pass lol

Im confident not all people clam up in public that talk shit on the internet.

Not all.....

But most, yes.

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!

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

Eric's car is super OG.

Cool then, cool now-timeless!

Think we are starting to get close to seeing every swap out there at this point

Super clean, but for 30k I'm getting a Gen 3 Viper!!

I'm still waiting for a Porsche motor swap into anything not a VW or buggy. Or a Cummins-powered Intrepid.

We just did a Benz 300D swap into a 70's jeep. 20+mph with lots of cool smoke and turbo noises!

I am currently living paycheck to paycheck.

We got approved for a loan.

I mean, do you see the issue here? Harbor freight has everything Marco does and a fraction of the cost, and will give you a line of credit! Work smarter, not harder.
