I have returned.... (from hell).

So, whats up everyone I havnt been here in about 4 months and have been going thru withdraw. My project and life got put on hold when I got to work and there was a chain across the door and a notice to all employees that the company went bankrupt. Got another job just no time (but have been collecting stuff like POR-15, polygraphite bushing kit, gsl rear end, sway bars, and saving for a turbo kit) just no time for my baby. How is everyones projects going? Whos still here? Who got new cars/ projects?

Its good to be back.

peace,

Damon

My project is finally moving ahead I just need to finish making the exhaust, weld centrifugal advance on dizzy, put on the -SE fuel pump and pressure regulator, and make the turbo oil feel & return lines. But now that I have all the parts I need, it should be done in about a month.

It looks like a stock T2 turbo, and a modded Nikki and intake.

EDIT: I got so wrapped up in answering questions, I forgot to say welcome back . Not much has changed with me really. I have lots of plans and no money still .

Well, I changed it from the cop that has been up there for a long time to my girlfriend... I figured that since Ive been good lately and have had no police interventions (i.e. - speeding tickets, court dates, etc) that I deserved something new, and she just happened to be the first thing I thought of .

Im sorry to hear about your grandmother... Was she a nice lady?

Turbo is the stock one form a TII. Intake is a modded nikki carb. I ordered almost everything from Robert, www.rotaryshack.com The intake is extremely modded. I'm not sure of all the mods done to the carb, and the intake manifold is very ported. The intake was on one of Robert's other customers cars that was making 400-500hp, it has been re-jetted to how much power I should be making. Distributor is done now, just needs put back on

The stock oil cooler is still there because I'm poor, and doing this project on a very tight budget. Also because every part of my cooling system is working great, the temp. needle will never budge from where it should be no matter what the outside temp is or how hard I'm pushing the car.
