Yes it is and the main issue is money. Ive got bills to pay and a car I probably wont drive much isnt a real priority.
Ordered some parts Thursday night that will be here in a week. This thing might be out sooner than I planned.
The parts will be here tomorrow. Looks like the motor will be going together very soon and the car will be out soon.
i call BS
the eeeeeMR-2 will romp this in the 1/4. 14.5 is the time to beat, paul. think you can do it?
It ran 13.8 with it running like shit last year.
New parts are in my living room. I havent even opened the boxes yet.
this thread sucks
So does my car. Deal with it.
Progress is being made lately.
The motor is going together and the car is at the same location as the motor as of last weekend.
I still need to order a few parts but nothing major- just a pulley spacer and an egr similutar and maybe pushrods.
We decided to eliminate the EGR after realizing the heads arent drilled for EGR shit and I know the EGR isnt a big deal on a 5.0 anyway.
I was promised that the car will be done by the Adirondack Nationals car show.
nice!
thats quick approaching and your car is still sitting on a trailer…
:ahh
I think 3 weeks? Really theres not 3 weeks of work to be done so it should be ok. Last year I picked it up at 5 on Friday and drove it up to the show after getting headgaskets and a clutch installed.
Its going in the garage tomorrow. I talked to him this afternoon.
you best be doin burnouts this year
Yea Paul I want to see a big smokey
Im not sure if I want to be doing burnouts since Im not going to have alot of miles on the motor by then.
Last year I didnt do them because my clutch and rearend had 50 miles on them when I got up there. I picked the car up in CP and drove it to LG that day.
weaksauce. big smokey burnouts ftw.
thats how ya seet the rings paul ,break it in the way ya gonna use it
I dont want to fuck it up 50+ miles from home, thats all. Been there, done that and it aint fun.
Im considering borrowing/renting a trailer for that weekend though.
Speaking of trailers I was supposed to help get my car off one but then it rained. The heads are on, the motor is painted, the piston to valve clearance was checked and I dont need to order pushrods. I ordered an egr simulator and a block off plate and now need to get an IAC adjuster since I cant find mine anywhere.
do work paulie do work
He’s motivated now and wants it running by next weekend. Ive gotta order a spacer for the balancer pulley and some break in oil now.
