please post pics! =) im trying to give you motivation to revive this beast!!

ok so i have some time to bring this thread back to life. it kinda hard to remember so far back so im gonna do my best.

Thanks Viper for the complements.
Well the build before Banzai Racing was at A-spec tunning and they did all the work on my last build. I was told by one of the guy's at a-spec that i needed to run dual pumps. for my 35r setup i belived them cuz well i was Rotary retarded back then.

Banzai fixed one of the 1000's wrongs
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...assembly-1.jpg


anyway they fixed the pump problem deal......

i think my car was pretty much complete around this time. and the only thing holding me up was. my break calipers that i had ruined. MAn i have learned a bunch.


And just so we have it clear Banzai fixed every wrong and made my car Damn near perfect.( I say damn near because we haven't finished the tuning.)

I just keep touching shit it breaking it haha.



Sooooooooo i picked up the car on 08 around thanksgiving or the day before.

another buddy of mine snapped these the same night downtown chicago

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2e2fb8c2_b.jpg

Well the trip was short lived and i had to travel back to AZ for work the car wouldn't make it down to Az until February BLAH that was the worst.

So in the mean time my old business partner and i drove around in this since we worked and lived together wasn't really an issue. we drove the Vegas one weekend in this and we took turns driving picked up a friend in Kingmen AZ who followed us to vegas and decied to top this fucker out at 178 which was the fastest i had ever been. MUST BUY A VETTE !!!!

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC01339.jpg

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC01336.jpg

Finally my FD made it out to AZ.
First thing i notice when i see the FD is it's missing a headlight cover. so i ask the truck drive whats up with that and he's all like it was never on their so i called a friend who delivered the car and he tell me yea it wasn't on.... so im all like WTF whatever. (turns out my friend was retarded it was but by that time i had signed all the papers. )

well after the car was released to me started driving the car up to my house from where the guy dropped it off which was less than 1000yards.

ANNNNNNNNDDDDD OF Course my old ass rude fucking neighbor came over to yell at me about the car being TOO LOUD and the car died....So for next day or something like that i wasn't able to do shit to the car so it sat until i could unflood the bastard.

my buddy Aj stopped by who was visiting his parents from chicago and took this wonderful picture of me having a good time..... i have no idea why i was barefoot. haha

Shaboing boing boooooing
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC04972.jpg

Hey man just want to clarify two things. You made it seem like you were not pleased that aspec tole you to use two pumps. Was it unnecessary or did it screw something up? Also did you break the calipers by taking them apart? Just trying to learn from past mistakes. Thanks

Well i ended up getting the ol' gale back on all 4 and drove up to my buddy's aj parnets house
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC00982.jpg

they where all glad to see me
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC00997.jpg

I forget how i connected up with Toyzzz, but he agreed to help me put the side skirts on. Then we decied to go snap some shots of the our FD's of course my home boy shot them.

Bam !!!

It was unnecessary for me to run 2 pumps on my last set up which was 35r on a street port not boosting past 15psi besides that they used inferior products on the car such as carburetor lines for my fuel system and rubber line that could deteriorate in my fuel tank. the pumps had to fight over who was putting fuel in 1 line since it used a T fitting and because of this they had to turn my FPR up so it could run normally. so this is 1 of millions of things that i had to get fixed.

Took the Wheels off to clean the insides out
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...2/DSC01014.jpg

some friends and i decided to cruise up Mt. lemmon.... Well it was more like they ditched me since my car was only on a base tune.

hey man not sure if you remember but I was the kid that mounted up your tires on the NTO3s when you came into discount tires lol. I asked you what car they were going on ha. This was obviously before I had my fd. Awesome car dude! we should cruise around the city one day!

I got super lucky with that because all the metal shaving go stuck in my intercooler.

Whatever i pulled the FD out for one last time in 2010 summer. FML

i will post more later.

omg. it does exist! i just saw your car with a HOOD!!! haha looks awesome man. like i said in my thread, your car was my inspiration to powder coat my cars scheme!

Interesting dyno sheet:

http://www.banzai-racing.com/dyno_ch...o_10-27-09.jpg

I ran my FD on a "Mustang Dyno" just like that one, and I'm a bit curious regarding details on your setup at the time.

To make 380hp @ 13psi on that dyno is impressive, depending on what the roller weight settings were.. but your torque does seems/seemed considerably low.

On my previous stock REW running a 62-1 @ 11psi, 550cc/1600cc, PFC, I remember making 272hp/239tq on the "mean guy" setting, but on a Dynojet it was 326hp/287tq.

At 15psi back on the Mustang Dyno, I made like 337hp/288tq on their "mean guy" setting again..which when compared to the DynoJet, adding again about that ~50hp/tq difference, equates to right at 400hp/340tq.

So I guess my question is...what is/was your setup at that time? It seems like you should be making more torque.

I can post the dyno's I'm referring to, if it helps.

I just want to help you to try and maybe get more power out of your setup, if I can..

Well we could of gone for more power however i was still on stock ignition.....

to be honest im happy with my numbers drove a 420+ hp FD and i was all like man this shit is retarded fast. Im not power hungry i just wanna have a good time and 380-400. That Still a damn fast car.
