KD93R1 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Looking good bro. Hope to see it soon. I keep tellin Adam the car looks pretty dang good, its not totally perfect, but its come along way in the last few months in my opinion. I dont think the car looks that bad from the outside, like Adam kinda does. I think it looks good, and it runs better than it looks. Started up on the FIRST TRY, good idle, no oil/fuel/coolant/vacum/air/or ehaust leaks either. Eighy psi oil pressure at cold idle, sounds good to me...lol.

KD93R1 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 You forgot to put the Lsx in it... No, we didnt forget. Just decided against it... I will say I like "lsx" WAY BETTER than "ls1". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourString Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thanks, Aaron! I'll probably be out next weekend in it. Jones, that whole fiasco should be sorted out now. My biggest dilemma now is waiting for Shine Auto Project to make me a damn hood. Yes, the car absolutely runs better than it looks. That will be taken care of by next year though. A new hood, side steps, coilovers, and a second set of wheels will be in the works soon. I did 95 percent of the engine and engine blasting and painting, Kevin pretty much did the rest of the car, and Lee Howie worked some magic into the new turbo. Logan will be tuning it next year also.

FourString Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Vented hood? Yes, I am getting the ShineAuto Feed replica hood. It currently has a "vented hood" thanks to the previous owner getting a bit too carried away with an angle grinder. I refuse to post pics of that bastardization :dumb: It's the first thing on the list to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan will be tuning it next year also. That had to be the smallest 95% ever, lol....No, Adam did a pretty good job painting the engine bay, I didnt have to do a whole lot to it. Touch up and cleaning mainly (inner fenders/firewall). However, as I recall Adam, you were BLOWN AWAY, first time you seen them inners/firewall cleaned up????? Remember the VIN NO.....??? Adam has been a great customer, he has done his part every step of the way, I couldnt complain thats for sure. We have become good friends now and thats good stuff in my book. Thank you Adam for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
