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

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.

I've got a few left in stock, in the middle of stuffing them into GT40R compressor housings for a smaller package too...

 

What a beauty!! Jaw dropping!!

 

I used to own a FD.

Here's a teaser shot just before she gets sent off to sandblasting. Shot courtesy of K. Hahn Photography.
After sandblasting she will be in the paint booth finally.

 

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.

Got hit by a drunk driver last night. My BMW is totaled.
minor injuries to my left arm that I can tell of so far.

 

^dam dude at least you're ok for the most part.

 

oh snap! sorry to hear dude. at least you weren't killed.

 

Sorry to hear about the accident Michael, good thing your okay, now just think $$$$$...LOL

 

thanks fellas I appreciate it...

Shittiest part is not being able to go do anything about it, but on the bright side I'm about to go pick up my purple geo metro rental car. lol j/p not sure what car they are giving me yet.

 

amazing build hope insurance takes care of you and glad your ok

 

dayum mike!?!?

here comes the $$$ now

 

Sorry to hear

Great build though .

 

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.

 

great build thread.... lots of money in this one, i love it!

 

Hooked on ths one!!!!!

 

sorry for taking so long, it's been hell while trying to move and get the shop situated while trying to dig up some work and try to keep on top of bills.

here's the secondary porting:


primary porting:


exhaust porting with the RA super seals:


front stack assembled with all new oil seals/carriers/side seals/side seal springs/corner seals/RA super seals installed:


rear stack assembled and ready for the rear iron:


here it is psuedo complete as i was waiting for the front cover to return so i didn't get a final pic of the motor complete:


if anyone's curious the rebuilds are very affordable. sorry for the delay getting the pics up Mike!

 

+1 for Ben's rebuilds

 

+2 for Karacks rebuilds!

 

Ditch those OEM water seals.

 

I'll have to keep you in mind for mine

 

This is going to be one outrageous monster. Keep it up! It's growing up to be a crazy beast.
