Cars coming together nice.

My Talon wants to go on a date with your Talon. ;)

Just jokin. Its really looking good, when do you plan to have it running?

oooh!! Black cherry babies!!

Oh garage midgets!!!

Hell yeah! Ha ha ha.

you got a jmf plate but no jmf intake manifold. thats about the only thing that beast is missing.

yeah, that and worm clamps on the IC pipes... kitty, good luck with them... i had them and kept blowing pipes off with my 16g... ;) well worth the extra $$$ for t-bolt clamps. :2cents:

Clamps are just fine ;)
And give me some money for a smic and I'll buy it :)

But anyways, got most of the piping all made. Just have to finish up the open dump and it's off to get ceramic coated/ powdercoated.
Here's the test fit:

Nice fab work on the dump tube.

The engine/bay on the whole just looks awesome.

Thanks :)
Here's the before of the O2 housing:

That piping looks like it took some thinking, mad complicated. good Job though.

Got everything welded up and back from powdercoating/ ceramic coating:

Once again, ...beautiful

That hello kitty is so random, thought you should know. When is your estimated completion date?

When is your estimated completion date?
Before mine. lol... :lol:

I think I should be posting up some vids sometime this weekend of the first crank!!! Yay!!! Last night got all the wiring done, just have to pick up some fuses

... kekeke.. so it started tonight.. No vids yet.. But just checked to make sure everything is fine.
Now I just need to get the radiator in, get some plugs for the guy below the thermostat, pick up a gasket for the DP, and get some tranny fluid and the engine bay part will be done..

.. then on to the brakes and 4 bolt :)

Motor's all finished up:

Big ol friggen brakes:

Starting back on the interior.. made up a mount for the TT and EBC..
Here's how it looks in primer:
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/k1ttylitter/BCproject/IMG_6847.jpg

I need to know how you did that? I want to do something similar to that.

Body filler stuff you can buy at walmart + cut out some acrylic.. plastic welded, sanded, primer, then I still need to do paint :)

Lol.. Just keep finding things to fix/ improve.. and then more stuff.. lol

We took out the trailing arms today and ground them down a bit more for the 255 wides, and welded them to fix the tow problem. Got the 4 bolt in and the rear end all buttoned up.

I did some misc improvements as well. I'm sure no one cares or at least as much as me, but I'm happy :)

I got the stupid bumper sticker off.. That thing was gnarly bad, I spent 2 hours with it.

Also got a new wing on the drivers side, since the other one, the fiberglass was pretty cracked.
Then I took off the windshield washer guy. It looks alot better :)

Pulled the Buschur exhaust and found this:

Wow. Awesome car. Seriously, really nice. Nice overall look, setup and build quality. Good job.
Electric cutout is a nice touch also.

That thing is going to be wicked loud with that cut out.

Thanks :)

Omg it is so loud driving. The mirror shakes so bad.. feels like a have a hardcore system in the car.. lol

FPred spools nicely and feels not too bad on just 15psi :)

I'll get a vid as soon as I fix the CEL

Oh and here's the vid:

Sweet, good job.

I had the black leathers out of a 94 TSi.. lol :)

o my bad, I don't know what I was thinking.

So how fast is the Car? I see pics on Myspace of you running her.

Best was 13.6 on 15psi and getting knock.

Ran a 12.5 @ 115 was the best for the season. I only got to take it out twice. Second gear locks me out, so I'm pretty happy with the time, considering that.

Tranny is getting rebuilt in the next couple of days. Car is in the garage getting torn apart.
Ordered a few new parts and going with a bit of a new setup for next year :)

New FMIC from ETS:
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/k1ttylitter/IMG_7243.jpg

More pics as stuff comes in the mail ;)

Thats an awesome time. Congrats. New parts are always nice. Cant wait to see more.

Beastly IC. Also, I see the Conquest....yours?

I can has stop?
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/k1ttylitter/fotochoot/IMG_7102.jpg

must be nice to have so many pimpin ass cars.

Sad thing is tho, after driving the black cherry, I don't like driving the silver car. It's so much more comfy and sounds sweet and feels sweet :)

Finally made some progress tonight..

Test fit to make sure she can go lower :D

Here's the other side:

And the engine bay getting ready for some new goodies
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/k1ttylitter/IMG_7313.jpg

Sorry, pics suck, hard to take a good snap with so much crap in the garage :P

Here's a better pic of it lowered:

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/k1ttylitter/BCproject/IMG_7323.jpg

... and after putting on the new springs, and getting it lower, started taking out weight... and then this happened:

Ohby2u

Oh and seats went into the silver car:
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g291/k1ttylitter/BCproject/IMG_7328.jpg

sweet build

Such a beautiful car. All it needs is to be repainted the stock color combo. I love that color scheme

It's sad that the dealer no longer makes the snowflake sticker.
But I was just going to have my guy paint them on

Yea Id most deff keep the snowflake

For real!! The rear bumper got repainted at some time, and it just has a solid line between the silver and BC. Don't like it. And not a big fan of the all black cherry anymore, esp after seeing the silver 5zigens on the car!!

:D YUH!

The FMIC you have installed, did you buy it as a kit w/ piping or did you buy the piping through another source. I've been looking at the ETS FMIC kit w/ piping, but it goes for just about $700 and of course if I can save cash then that's the route I want to take. I'm buying the ETS FMIC, that's $340 but I'm having a hard time finding a short route set up.

Brendan actually did all the piping for me.

We'll be re-doing the piping and going 3" for the ETS fmic and got a Q45 TB.

It's been hard to get motivation to work on it.. Finally got the tranny out.. Center dif is junk.. woooo.. I guess on the positive side, they explains the crappy mph.

So once more money gets saved up and parts sold, will be getting a 4spider center dif. along with evo3 1st gear. I already have double syncro 2-4 ready to go in.

Are you looking to sell the 2.5" piping?

Is that an odyssey battery I see? I have been thinking about putting one of those small ones in my car. Which model is that? Does it start the car fine? Have enough power and everything?

The 2 1/2 piping is going on another car. Since I couldn't sell the fmic, just use it on something else.

The odyssey battery hasn't given me any probelms. Works great, no cranking issues.

But got a few more things in:

Thinking of doing the cage black cherry (body color).. Also trying to decide on color for IC piping. Thought of doing it the same color as the fuel rail.. Black seemed kinda blah..

That's some current goodness.. few small things to come as well
