lol, because the walmart angry bird is WAY less ghetto... still one of the better ideas we had.

so how's the cabin heat from the LS? i don't really remember seeing you do much to heat proof it.

Ruler_Mark 10-17-12 12:09 AM

So far cooler than the rotary was. Going across town in similar ambients the tranny tunnel would burn with the rotary. Now its just really hot.

David Hayes 10-17-12 09:27 AM

FYI got the Feed trunk thingy installed. Looks great. Thanks so much!

cant believe i missed this, 10an feed 6an return, removed all hardlines incl rear brake. That is ran inside to the brake bias then to the rear T. Plan on a dual master locking hydro in the future.

Gringo Grande 10-25-12 01:20 AM

There is no pressure/volume issue in those being different sizes?

Ruler_Mark 10-25-12 10:27 AM

nope, the aeromotive 10an fpr comes that way

Blackadde/// 10-25-12 11:12 AM

Are you using the engine you bought from me yet?

Ruler_Mark 10-25-12 11:47 AM

Gringo has it

Gringo Grande 10-25-12 04:49 PM

@Black - Could you PM me with what exactly was done with/to that engine in order to know exactly how many reach arounds I owe Mark?

@Mark - Loving the hood man...forgot to mention that.

@Mark - Did you remove the Charcoal Cannister? So one line feeding up the underside of the car and the return running back? So 2 lines instead of 3?

Ruler_Mark 10-25-12 05:33 PM

Yes, yez.

Blackadde/// 10-25-12 11:37 PM

Lol. Sounds like quite a few reach arounds are in order. Pm sent.

Gringo Grande 10-30-12 01:22 PM

Mark - Do you know the weight of your car at the moment?

Ruler_Mark 10-30-12 01:29 PM

Negative, kevin didnt have his scales past few times we were by

as posted elsewhere my diff cried like a baby...

Starspec 265s were no where near good enough to handle our cam/heads ls3.. so we had some 285 rs3s laying around and slapped them on the rear. Since they were new had to do a safety burnout to clean off the tires. Yeah bad idea...

Burned 1st, went for 2nd let the clutch out then bang akine to the sound of a 45 going off. now the carnage.

Damn, you told me that went pop but... wow

jabroski 12-16-12 12:21 AM

Here's a video of the diff destroying burnout... It doesn't seem like much but if you listen carefully you can hear a pop at 0:08.

Been working on polishing up all the minor things on the car. Loomed alot of the harness and been freshening up the exterior.

Plasti-diped all the carbon. Was doing this to protect it from the sun and be reversible, turned out better than expected!
