So the car hasen’t moved anywhere fast, but things are coming together…Anyways my buddy Roger over at RKS Power Systems came over today to get everything setup for my dual tank setup & we should have everything together in the next 2 weeks for that. I have the feed, return and filter plus a bit of line to install before the final step. He is also doing my turbo feed and return and my oil cooler lines
Didnt do to much today, but got some of it back together. Also test mounted the oil cooler and the intercooler which im gonna have to cut open that front bumper i also did pick up my polished TB and the tensioner
I also got my buddy with a set of VOLK TE37s to let me test fit & use while my rims dont have tires on them a set of 285 tires on a 18x10.5 rim looks sick [ Car is off the ground, waiting for my volk lug nuts before i lower the car on them ]
lol no i havent mounted the tires yet!! the te37s on the back are foots rims lol testing them out i just took off my old rubber the ra-1 gonna put the rss on soon lol
Today spent most of the day out and about buying some stuff for the garage and got some really nice things…Picked up this nice mastercraft bench which is going to be used as the welders bench & picked up this nice Bench grinder stand which works great. Regarding the car we finished up with the cams & cam gears just waiting for the covers from the polisher, also mounted the IC to the car only have a pic of the top mounts before paint…lower mounts are made but never took any pics, but i can tell you one thing…that intercooler isnt moving anywhere at all.
took a shot at some Tig welding 3 days ago didnt come out to bad for my first time tig welding plus i don’t have a foot pedal control only on and off type…I PLAN on getting a lincoln 225 tig welder soon!! the tig welder i have now is a randsom one 3 in 1 tig, arc, plasma
Updates regarding the car well…I made some brackets for the rear seat delete so its held in place. The car also got its fuel rail + 1000cc injectors installed so everything is moving nice and on its way! cant wait to finish getting this all together. The oil cooler also got installed, but i dont have pics of that yet.
Not much today…spent a lot of time messing around with the IC pipes and getting the fitment i wanted, one side done. Also got the fuel lines into the car and ready to go for the next step & decided that im gonna keep the top back seat for now until i do up the cage. Gonna fill up that mid section and wrap it all in leather so it looks like a seat. The last thing that was done today was the rear seat wall which i gotta rivet in tmr. i also picked out my spot for my cryO2 setup
In the pics below i didnt have the ic pipes in the spot due to i need to get it welded since my welder doesnt have the AC setting soon when i get my new welder…
good idea!
why would you need NOS???
for the competition bud lol i know there WILL be a lot of quick cars out at the track this year, 4bangers,6s,8s so we got to represent haha.
Today i took my chance at making my own downpipe!!! This is my first time ever making one and also my first time welding something of this caliber together. I think it came out really nice for my first project & only been welding about 2 weeks :). I just gotta finish up the rest of the exhaust from that part on & connect it to my blitz nur spec exhaust which i had to cut about 2ft off!!!
here are some better pics of the welds and i also started to try out Sch 10 304 ss been playing around on this one test pipe and now i have found the right heat setting and working really well with filler which i have been having a problem with…
i also did pick up my polished TB and the tensioner
only on and off type…I PLAN on getting a lincoln 225 tig welder soon!! the tig welder i have now is a randsom one 3 in 1 tig, arc, plasma
nice build will the car be out this year for bings meet?
Goodluck with build
