Project Fast Spyder

So where did you stuff your fuse box anyways?

[blageo23]

It is sitting on the passanger side floor because at DB he removed it to check for blown fuses. But usually It sits kinda under the dash where the pass feet are. It actaully sits pretty good with the help of some zip ties.

I was just lookin at 2g's on cardomain and seen this on there. Nice lookin whip

Per your "car is fucked" comment in the Fall dyno day thread, what happened?

[blageo23]

Took it to DB today to get a final dyno tune. He called me and left a message saying something like this... you car is making a loud noise from the transmission area. Could be the flywheel coming loose. The sound changes with clutch applied. So in my eyes its FUCKED. Im just sick of problems already. I think im going to wait til next year to fix it.

[scheides]

No way! Pull the tranny and tighten up the flywheel bolts man!

[blageo23]

Thats soo much work. And my parents have banned me from the garage. I even have to take my winter beater to a friends house to fix it. I guess its just timing thats pissing me off. I have been working for like a month straight and im just burnt out.

[turbotalon1g]

you poor guy, sorry to hear man.
Makes me glad i got my own place finally, my parents wouldn't even let me have a car.

The thing with loose flywheels is - it's usually bye-bye for the thrust bearing. Sorry to say, but you should drop the pan and/or check endplay on your crank. May as well throw in new bearings anyway.

I am calling BS. I see where you are coming from, but I doubt it would happen that quickly. It has happened 6 times to my car and it is still fine.

Also, just ordered the ARP's. They are supposed to go out today.

You can check endplay with out pulling the pan, and people need to learn how to use a torque wrench and red thread locker.

Im sorry, were you there when I put my flywheel on? Was anyone there? NO so how the fuck do you know if I toqued it down and used thread locker? You dont so STFU! I used a torque wrench and RED thread locker.

As my car sits waiting til spring to tighten the flywheel bolts this is what I have planned:

And now for the good stuff:

FP3X cams
FP springs/retainers
Some kind of porthing to the head
Tail 44mm WG
Maybe some bigger injectors

Thats about all I have planed for right now. More info and pics to come!

[Super Bleeder!!]

Why do you have a pipe where the wastegate is supposed to go?

[blageo23]

I bought the turbo used. Thats the way it came

[Super Bleeder!!]

Interesting. We have the same turbo.

[blageo23]
