Curious to see how you like the steering rack.

7/19/13:

Finally got all the pieces I need and a friend (Mo/Speedfreak) to weld up the holes in the steering tube, so I was able to start putting this back together.



Reassembling the steering rack assembly.


End cap installed on the steering rack.


Steering rack all reassembled:

Reinstalled the steering rack.


I also put the motor on the stand so that I can start going through it soon.


I was glad to see this:


The car will need a bunch of random crap to get running, and I'll be gone the first two weeks of August so I don't know if I will make PG 2. I'm really hoping to make an end of year track day with the other racers we have on style.

[Goat Blower]

Is it a 2.0 or 2.3?

[Goat Blower]

Eagles, nice!

[turbotalon1g]

it's a 2.0 that I picked up from here.

[turbotalon1g]

it's a 2.0 that I picked up from here. 0 miles.

[Halon]

Looking good man.

[evotuner]

Going to be ready for PG.2?

[turbotalon1g]

I doubt it, i'm shooting for another DSM track day in october like last year, all we need this year is a grill and it will be perfect.

There are way too many things to do before it will be race ready, plus I'd have to buy and setup nitrous since there is no way this turbo will stall by itself.

[19TsiAwd90]

ignition cut while stalling? i bet that would spool it up well. maybe thats not how it works, i know nothing about autos i guess.

[turbotalon1g]

Thanks, most people that keep saying stuff don't have any experience in here but well its an open forum for a reason.

8-27-13:
Picked up a new (to me) shortblock, its stock rebuild with about 10k miles on it. 2G pistons, shot peened rods.


Last night Carltalon came over (thanks) and helped put more of the shortblock together. I'm waiting to pickup a head to use and then I should be ready to put the motor together and get it back in the car. Hopefully I can convince him to come by again soon.

I'll thank Halon in advance for the engine hoist too.

[Tachyon]

Are you going to have the car for the PG2?

[turbotalon1g]

If i can get more help and my injectors are good then yes.

[C3L1CA]

[93gtpeater]

It had a crack in the block, but its ok it was only a 2.0L and I'd really like to put one built motor in this thing and have it be a 2.3.

That's the plan my friend, i'll try and send my injectors out tomorrow so that I know they are good for next week.
FIC's turnaround is pretty quick.

[dsmreck]
