Originally posted by Fd3BOOST How long have you been working on that project now? Going on two years? The car hasn't been driven since May of 1998. I bought a 20B for it in early '99 but I changed my mind and sold it. Meanwhile, I was driving and drag racing my Supra and couldn't be bothered to do much of anything with the FD. Then in late '99 I started the V8 project and wasted a year or so waiting on my conversion parts from Grant Robbins of Granny's Speed Shop. I also wasted a year and a half having the engine built because I was being strung along by a thief named Mark Montalvo. During that time I sold the Supra and bought a Z06 Corvette and still couldn't be bothered to do much with the FD. I work on it a little bit now and then, managed to get it repainted, developed my own engine cradle and '03+ Cobra 8.8" IRS conversion kit, finished about 75% of a sleek headlight kit, got my engine 95% complete, and made a dozen changes to the suspension as well as amassing most of the parts I need to finish it, but basically I just don't have a lot of spare time to work on it, and don't really feel like working on it when I do. :) |

Originally posted by Fd3BOOST Don't you mean Roys BBQ? Just making sure I am not missing a bbq i didnt know about. Ahh all you locals have already seen my jont. I am more interested in seeing your crazy doors open up. The doors are just that Dave...just doors. Might get an ooh or ahh for a second or two, then people are like "oh yea I saw that before..." and move on hehe. I need to get my engine bay finished...that's what's up. Jim...not being anal, but so do you actually plan on finishing it up and keeping it? Or are you just slowly losing interest? |
Originally posted by XSTransAm ive been reading on it for a little bit now... this link says the only condition that non abs stops quicker is on a gravel like surface where the locked wheel with create a wedge for the car to stop against. can you point me to information that says that a non-abs car will stop quicker with a skilled driver? |

Looking good Dave,
Maybe one of you single-turbo equiped dudes can give me a 10-100 side by side run at the BBQ next weekend so i can see what i have to look forward to in a year or so. |
I hope mine is straighted out by then. My manifold and exducer housing are at a machine shop right now. I was having trouble getting them to seal so I had to get them machined flat. The pedistols that is. Also I am still waiting on a new wastegate. But if i have my car then certainly. I would let you give it a test drive if you like.
