y2k2gt Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I found out today that when my oil pump broke last year it messed up where the cams are mounted. So, my heads have to come off and be sent out to be repaired. The heads are being taken off with the engine in the car and I do have head studs. Also the car is gutted to receive the 10-point cage. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_1784.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_1783.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_1780.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_1782.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_1779.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_1778.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2k2gt Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Almost done. The battery has been moved to the trunk. They just have to install the methanol injection kit and button up the fuel system. The cage looks awesome. I will get better pics posted when it's all finished. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_2229.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_2230.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_2231.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_2232.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_2233.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 you've had quite an experience with this car--lots of ups and downs--props for staying the course. hopefully the cage required you to remove the lambo doors, and put normal ones on again?? i kid.

BDHG940 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I was pretty sure your car was a turbo setup wasnt it? Are the turbos mounted behind the front bumper? you have any photos of the setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y2k2gt Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 A few more pics from today. We started the car today and it sounds really nice at idle with the new cams. It will be tuned next weekend. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_2240.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_2243.jpg This is the cutoff switch. I think it looks awesome. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_2238.jpg The AIS kit and battery installed in the trunk. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/100_2239.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonneVille Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 You taking the visors out? Not much point having them in, by the looks of where you front roof bar goes across... Like the cage, and that looks like a sweet turbo set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
