My Build Thread LS1/FD Its Fast!

LOL

OT but i see your MMM all the time on linden, I live right on the corner on linden and north park. Looks beautiful. oo yeah and id say a month ago i heard a pretty nasty launch that had the distinct ellis exhaust note ran out on the porch just in time to see the taillights of an fd, was slightly confused for a moment then put seeing the m and that together and realized it had to be you lol. Awesome stuff man I’ll give ya a wave next time I see you.

hahaha nice yeah I live right near there.

would like to see more pics of the wire tuck. is there plans to route wiring for the front end through a fender or something and for extra holes/dimples to be welded up and smoothed off?

very nice build, great car. but i gotta say it was annoying to go through 50 pages of bullshit and people talking about heaters to get any real info or pictures

spot on… doesnt mean stalling and having to rev it to keep running. there was plenty of room to improve on his tune.
drews professional driving skills is what made this car quick. HAHAHAHA

i heard about this from jdand thought he was fuckin with me, guess not. i give it a big thumbs up bro and the good news is i will never copy ya!!
good luck and have fun,maybe if i’m not such a pussy next year i can get some track runs with you guys.

I agree and although it is hard to believe I have pruned probably 50 pages of bs along the way but I try to not abuse my moderation privileges and don’t want people to feel their posts just disappear for no reason. So that is why I created the condensed thread. This is where you should follow it to stay on just facts and pics/progress.

Edited first post for you guys that don’t know I have a condensed thread as well.

turbociv fabricating yo stuffs?

A few parts came back from powder. Nothing is final installed yet just in place. A ton more is at powder and I just took the throttle body apart tonight to go to powder as well. Most everything else going on the motor is going to be the grey color covering and “relaxing” the gold if you will. I am VERY happy with how this stuff looks in person to say the least.

Then I spent many hours getting the wheel wells and under body ready for paint. The car is literally down to a unibody shell right now. A little intimidating……but not really haha. A ton a good old labor getting these wheel wells and such to almost ready for paint. Oof

jesus, i hope u remember where everything goes. lol i see alotta beers there.

its easier then it looks to remember where everything goes. and if not, well then its always good to have alot of leave rights…looks like alot of progress. nice.

The motor goes in the car. See I remember! Not that i need to dignify that with a response but yes i fucking remember where everything goes you asshat. Now start dreaming about fabrication. PS I don’t drink while I work and hardly even drink at all anymore. :frowning:

Thanks dime I have been bustin my ass on this thing!

motor should be going in the trunk!! lol mid-mount conversion!!

8.0

Took apart some axles today. These are the custom centers to ford inners and mazda outers that I run to my 8.8” rear setup. I am having these all powdered as well and changing the inners. Nothing on this build will be overlooked!!! Ok some will but im trying my best haha. Also I am aware one of the Ford inners is not pictured.

Ok no back onto some oh so pretty stuff.

I had already take out every single bushing, ball joint, and bearing that I could which led me to this…in my trunk!

Then everything blasted and now it is all at powder and let me tell you these guys(Suzukiriderman and spam16v) are staying ahead of my schedule which is quite hard to do.
