Goodhart's budget beater 1g

This thing gonna roll this spring?

[goodhart]

idk, engine is making slow process, the harness is not. I'll either need a turbo engine harness or use my unhacked n/t one and add a knock sensor and resistor pack. Then mod it so it works with the relocated fuse box. Going to be a lot of work.

Update 1/20/14:


Shell came with a socketed Eprom. I found a chip with a stock tune minus fuel cut on it I got from SleepyDSM like 2 years ago. Popped that in there.

Brought in my head to a guy my brother knows, he gave me a killer deal for some good work. Did the oil port mod before I brought it in.

He even cleaned up the runners for me without even asking for no charge.

Whoops, hand tools was too slow, electric impact was dead and the air tools were too much!

Wow, hell of a steal on the build! Hope to see this thing running soon.
I love that FP stud kit, I had some threads nearly stripped and those things held awesome WAY better than the hardware store stuff I used for a couple years.

Yeah goodhart its looking good. maybe with some luck it'll be on the spring cruise!

Nope, I'll be too busy with a new baby, SORT academy in May, and hopefully a new house. Lots going on this spring.

[turbotalon1g]

house ftw!

[Murlo26]

house ftw!

This.

I am actually contemplating foregoing doing Evo stuff this spring and instead of using my bonus from work on that doing a lot of house stuff that I have been holding off on doing.

Car stuff is awesome, but house stuff is awesome too.

[goodhart]

Yea, there's a good chance this thing will get put on the back burner for a few months until we find/move in one. We are starting our search in March and hope to have one by the end of May.

[turbotalon1g]

I'm glad that I took a year off, but to be fair I wanted a house.
