Looking good man! No need to be throwing money at a car while you're unemployed, but looks like it will be a LOT of fun!

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

Looks like it did a year ago :)
What kind of tranny/clutch is in there?
What about your 92 to 91 front end coversion?

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

Looks like fun. Keep us updated! Didn't I buy a carbon fiber hood from you awhile ago?

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

Looks like a good build! Keep us posted on your progress.

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

Thanks, I make enough to get by right now and every now and then i make a little extra and that goes into the car.

Yea it hasn't changed too much, although ive done a lot of little tedious things here and there to make it a little more unique. The front end conversion still isn't fully complete, I'm still waiting to find a near mint set of 1GA fenders...

As far as a Flywheel / Clutch setup, I have the ACT Streetlight 12.5# flywheel ,Exedy street disc, and a 2900# PP And a stock tranny.

I'm hoping that the clutch makes it through break in and by that time i should have enough money for a twin disc setup.

Hows your car been? I see Kevin driving around all the time i just ever get to say what up...

Yep that was me.. Hows that hood workin out for you? I was kickin myself in the ass the other day for selling it but oh well.

I'll do my best, I misplaced the cord for my digital camera so im stuck with the pictures off my cell right now.

I really want to make it to the fall dyno day, as of now thats my goal.

Lookin' good! Did you line hone the mains after putting in the ARP's? Did you use a dowel kit for them? I am just trying to keep you out of trouble, I had an experience with an engine with ARP's in and it was dowelled. I am now on a 2.4 that is dowelled and line honed. Are bigger cams in the picture as well after breakin?

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

I had the mains line honed but knew nothing about the dowel kit, I assume this is what your talking about?

Im sure MAP can order these in and hopefully get me a better deal on them :biggrin:

I also want to pick up one of those Kiggly main braces if i can find one for a good deal, I thought about trying to make one but my motor is already in my car. My buddy works in a steel company and i can get pieces sheared to size... I looked on Magnus and Kiggly's site and neither of them mention a specific thickness...

Bigger cams are definatly in the picture i want to do some more research and drive the car a little bit before i get them.

Thanks for the info on those dowels, I definatly want to get a set of them now.

Some more pix...

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

Hey Stephan whats up.

I'd like to see your car moving soon!

What are you rollin in, I haven't seen you?

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

It's going to be too late for the dowels if the engine is already in. They need to be machined in and then line honed afterwards. The ARP mains are 1mm smaller than a stock main bolt, so they have some slop in them. I would honestly think about taking the mains back out and putting stock bolts in. Mine lasted 11k miles and was crankwalked .115" because of that.

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

I haven't been on in a while due to loss of internet but i have made a little progress sense i was on last.

In the next couple of weeks i should be picking up AEM EMS, A1000, SMIM W/Q45 TB, and a couple other things.

But for now here are couple pix

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

Haha, nice to see it fits.

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

Hah. Johns old galant stuff on a 1g.

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

lol, looks like a lot of fun.

So whats the goals for this car? Looks pretty intense.

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

13's@a billionty :)
:boxing:

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

^Thats you, everyone knows how i roll.
Guess what i have boost leaks again.

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

Nice new-to-you-setup

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

Man, looks nice.

Re: Something I've Been Working On...
 

It fits with a little cutting:wink:


As far as goals its hard to say right now, I know my tranny wont last long at all after break in so it will be time to go with either a dogbox or an auto setup and i would like to switch the suspension sometime after it gets running or sooner if i could find someone to trade me... The AGX's will do for a while but i would really like to pick up a set of K-Sports.

Anyways here are some more pictures. There was no way to fit a dsm radiator in there and after cutting up the whole front end of the car i had to make my own radiator support / bumper cover support.

My hopes are to have it running by middle to late august and hopefully have it at a fall dyno day if there is going to be one.
