My Build Thread LS1/FD Its Fast!

and then?

sounded fucking awesome this afternoon what happened to heeeterzzzz when i get outa work at midnite?

Well the car is CLOSE to being finished. Interior is about 75% but as always I ran into MORE issues.

Hood won’t latch properly so after hours of trying to make it work I ordered a new cable because I think that is the issue, it will be here friday.

Also I can’t get pedal pressure in the brakes. I can pump it up but after like 30sec I can push it to the floor again. I bled then a ton so maybe it has a leak somewhere but I called it quits there. Just didnt feel like working anymore. Car could easily be drivable with a days worth of work assuming no more major issues but it has a ton that needs to be sorted still.

If you are still having issues I am free tomorrow night. I won’t be near a computer but give me a call anytime during the day and we can go from there.

:tup: so exciting!!!

LUKE!!! I lost your number. Pm me it again. I have ironed out 90% of the wiring issues you would be proud haha. But I would still like you to have a look at a few things. I am free tomorrow until about 9ish.

I was going to snap a few pics for you assholes but I can’t seem to find my camera. fml

No prob. Pm’d.

Give me a shout anytime. I will be working in my garage most of the day.

had mine out last few days!
keep workin.

Thanks man. mine is Almost done. Just a few minor things to iron out then its going to be driving around. I have not installed my nitrous stuff,2-step,line lock, that will all come later I just want to get it driving.

LOLLLLLLLLLLL Our lives suck haha

Yeah why does my brain make me build things. Make it stop!

Ian put up some pics and that vid you fucking homo.

wheres the fucking videos???

IanK is holding out. Once it is off jack stands ill get some heater vids. But I am not sure when I will work on it again. It has been one day a week lately. :frowning:

Encoded like complete shit, but here none the less.

Looking at that I can not believe how close to finished and how different it looks right now. I will get some new pics tomorrow and damn we need video with better audio.

Literally the car needs the new hood release cable(on z way)
Fix whatever is making my brakes loose pressure. Either a leak or just still air in the lines.
Put together a few random interior pieces nothing over an hour.
???
Profit.

Once you check for leaks, try a gravity bleed on the hydraulic systems (clutch and brakes). Just fill each reservoir with fluid and crack a bleeder. Run a few tanks of fluid through the clutch and one or two per corner on the brakes. Works like a charm for my S2k.

Wordski. I want to try that thing newman has rigged up. We will see but this shouldn’t be a major issue. I have somewhere to be at like 8ish tomorrow night and am busy till about 5 but might try to sneak in about 2hrs of wrench time to see what I can figure out. I really just want to take it for a ride around the block!

So I am looking for insight on something…not something I typically like let alone ask for. I have two sets of wheels the chrome asa’s in the pics and a set of matte black fno1-rc’s. Due to the fno1s being wider that is probably what I will be running…But I am having a hard time picking a color. Now I am not a fan of black wheels but I am not going to lie I tossed them on and the car looks really nice.

Consider that my car is basically alllll black, tinted tails, markers, windows. so

repaint wheels Satin black
