Update on my projects (dialup = no)
Got kind of camera happy, and haven't really posted much of what I've been upto. Pretty much here's a pic of my garage and the FC's lined up.
Here's a couple of pics of my s5 GXL-II (TurboII conversion) It's been out due to some body damage, which is a whole other story. In the meantime it's getting a BNR Stage3 hybrid, custom intercooler (probably Years of Decay setup). Nothing real special here... Just lots of problems!
Engine shot (yeah, i know, fix the rust!)
Alright, here's my '87 Sport 6-port Turbo. Nothing too much to inform you on this one, it's basically got the new clutch (clutchnet sprung 6puck with 2600lb pp). As you can see in the pictures below, it's basically getting a makeover. The previous owner rolled it and pretty much mangled the body. So, as you can see, a set of new fenders, headlight assemblies, rear bumper, a shitload of all metal (greatest body filler ever!), and it's starting to look normal again. As you can see, I've got a boost gauge, a/f gauge, and the wideband mounted right in the middle of the gauge cluster so I can make sure I don't go killing my poor motor.
Here's my starion front mounted, ignore the busted up plastic.

Engine shot
Alright, here's my GTUs. As you all know, this is my supercharger project. As it stands, I'm working on a pulley setup, I've got most of the supercharger mounting taken care of, and working on my TB adapter to mount the stock TB. Here are a couple of shots of the FC3S side skirts just set in place.
Alright, if that can't get me to the power levels I want, this will! Chevy 409!
Shot of my toolboxes/etc.
Anybody need sparkplugs?

As for the spark plugs, that's not even half of them. I've got about another 20 in various boxes around my garage. Don't ask how i've obtained so many.

Your isp hates me, remove the www. infront of sonicrat.org and it'll work. That engine isn't from a suburban, it's from the old chevy impalas/etc. It's one of the most sought after chevy blocks. Don't you guys remember the beach boys song about the 409?

When I'm in NY, I'm in the Syracuse area. My garage is in Michigan however. I've got enough tools to fill about 3 boxes, air, you name it, it's in there somewhere. Mig welder's coming next week, after that I just need a plasma cutter! There's also a '63 Impala sharing the garage, but it's hidden in the corner. It fits in nicely with the rx7's, simply because of this:

Yeah yeah, ether and spark plugs with model T coils. But the 7's dont discriminate too much. Was my dad's car, one of the last years he got to drive it.
