Yea it's gone to its new home in Fresno. :icon_tup:

A little update on whats going on with the build.
  • Still waiting on my turbo kit from A-Spec, I believe the backup is with Garett, apparently everyone wants a new billet turbo.
  • Picking up my newly rebuilt T56 from an 04-06 Goat next week, then waiting for Bewtew, or Howard C. to finish their adapter plates.
  • Getting my ECU & Ignition from Ludwig Motorsports in a Group Buy here on the forum within the next month.
  • Waiting for summer to come by & school to end so I can work and make some money & buy my wheels and suspension off Ganesh. :icon_tup:

Sand???

I'd ask about plastic partical blasting (doesn't remove any metal)

gonna be sweet.

Paint code?

I usually call it sand blasting too, but he probably means media blasting.

Great build though :icon_tup:.

Go to the doctor and get a note about being hurt and say you're thinking about suing the insurance company for medical bills but you're willing to settle up front. They will write you a nice check.

Just got good news from Sean at A-Spec tuning, my custom duel wastegate setup is finished, but we're still waiting on Garrett to send my GTX turbo. The turbo pictured is Seans..

Hopefully I can finish the car before SevenStock.
