Yea I heard it’s going to be shit this weekend.
And I have no plans to go to SD any time soon. haha. Now that I live in OC anything south is just too far. Although the beaches in oceanside and del mar are way better just due to not being so crowded.
rained all morning down at the GF’s place in San Diego…weather finally broke so i snapped a few pics
Properly turned wheels-to-the-curb when parking on a hill, points to you sir :tup:
Yep, I like it more now. Matching helped a tonnnnnnn. :tup: :tup:
PS, the old Honda is up and running again. Mikuni’s will be on as soon as I have new intake boots delivered next week. Let’s start doing more car things again.
no major updates really.
just been driving the wheels off the thing daily.
still rubbing nickels together trying to justify a cam/valve springs/pushrods/timing kit/stall converter/trans cooler purchase…
but here is a vid from yesterday
just throw a turbo on it, you’ll make way more power on 5psi than a cam swap for a few more bucks.
I can see why you’d want to just stick with a cam for simplicity, though
cam/converter/etc = minimal downtime for my only vehicle and roughly $1k
turbo = much longer downtime and in the neighborhood of $4-6k PLUS im sure the trans wouldn’t be able to handle that kind of power so add an extra $3k for a built trans
don’t get me wrong I would LOVE to turbo this thing.
but I don’t have any fab skill, no garage and no local friends interested/knowledgeable/willing to help walk me through such a task
Considering you actually drive it a lot, have you looked into a used Maggie or whipple kit? 3-4K weekend bolt on etc.
I’m with you on the trans thing, that’s why my turbo kit is sitting in my back room instead of on the truck.
cam is probably the smartest choice for you then, especially being a daily and not having to deal with the usual fuckery that comes with custom FI. Did you decide on a cam yet? 224R?
:hay: I’m moving to long beach on the 23rd… No garage though.
if you can find me a COMPLETE TVS-2300 for $3-4k yeah I would totally do that but I have only been able to find used kits that are either thrashed and need a rebuild or are missing key components
plus brand new they want like 6k
yeah it will be a TSP 224r @ 112lsa and a circle d 3200 stall
nice. whereabouts?
My LSA setup I’ve got less than 1800 into.
But they have shot up in pricing.
plus he has cathedral port heads so he’d need a set of adapters for it to even get close
Yes.
So do I
how do you like the adapters? are they cheap shit, who makes them? was always curious about how much they raised the assembly
brian be prepared for a copious amount of texts today…
decided to do a summer charge up on the AC and an oil change last night.
im currently about head up to the mooneyes open house today and the brothers truck c10 show tomorrow.
busy weekend.
here are just a few shots from the open house…
also picked up a lil something for the truck while i was there lol
man that shop is AWESOME! Good deal on the AC temps. Once I saw my breath in a single cab s10 I had that was left running with the ac on recirc for a while.
That panhead is sweet.
