awesomely enough i got it all together in there and wrapped it up running and driving

Good to see you posting. I've been watching religiously on youtube. Although I appreciate the garage burnout, I can't wait to see it haze the tires from a roll, haha.

recently lomed all bare wires and organized them this is how it sits today

http://i.imgur.com/BT4PAkw.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Q19UtOx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/uSm01hu.jpg apparently the ethanol content sensor will tell you fuel temp. china gates are holding 200kpa very nicely without the boost controller turned on so i will be able to clear mid 20s at the track hopefully without much resistance, and the car weighs 2900lbs without me in it (had to go inside to pay to get a printout) but with 15gallons of gas in it also. about right where i wanted it, 3100 race weight or less. interestingly she said that scale is down to the 1lb increment, so that thing is 2900 EVEN |
Whoo!!! Only reason i still come on this site is for these builds. What have you sold the past builds for?
|
Love these builds, I can't wait to see it make some passes down the 1/4
|
Have you managed to tear into it after the burnout mishap haha?
|
Quote:
This, have you sold off past builds? Would be interesting to hear some sales figures if you dont mind sharing?! |
any updates?
|
It got sold a month or two back.
|
Do you know what it sold for? When's his next project?
|
No idea on the sale price.
The latest is helping a buddy build/turbo a sohc civic https://www.youtube.com/user/denmah/videos |
he got what he felt was a fair price, but didnt want to divulge the exact #. He now has a 4cyl chevy colorado that he is going to ls swap, this time he is challenging himself to retain A/C and keep it as his "work truck" should be an interesting build for sure! He'll probably start on it as soon as he an his buddy finish the turbo civic
|
Is he still posting anywhere? I was following the threads on the sloppymechanics FB group, but they booted everyone but the originals out of the group, made it private, and then made a different public group.
|
the public group he will post up progress also ls1tech under forced induction
