I know I already told you congrats on facebook, but it deserves another. haha Congrats man! video of the reaction on your face during first drive!

 

haha, i double posted so if someone clicked on the thread it would pop up lol


thanks for the complements guys! DGRR 2013 is a toss up still!

 

Damn she sounds angry

 

the video doesnt do it justice man

my neighbor came outside and told me:
"well you managed to make it more obnoxiously loud than it was before..."

and i was like YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I DID

 

yup, its really irritating that the motor isnt painted, but since i didnt pull the motor this time, i'm just going to wait till i pull the motor again to do that

 

DGRR is a must

 

^ Absolutely, It is not an option

 

What a great first build thread to click on.

 

haha right on!
Hearing rotaries purr in person is completely different than when you listen to a recording. They sound way more ballsy in person

 

Glad you figured it out with out too much headache! congrats on getting her started again, looks good!

 

Lookin good. You plan on taking it to the track to see what it can do?

 

This is a sweet looking car, you have put a lot of work in to it. Congratulations on the build.

 

thanks for all the complements and support guys!

and yes she will be hitting the track!! I'll just be making my rounds to shows to satisfy the sponsors first, that way i dont risk losing the car the track or something before agreements have been fulfilled

so around mid/end 2013 you'll start seeing pics of her at the road course!!

 

Got my Shine Carbon Fiber Aero Undertray

theres nothing like opening boxes of carbon fiber to take your mind off of finals LOL!!

 

Nice build. Can you still use the ebrake with the rear kit? I know that is an issue with some rear brake kits.


EDIT: I answered my own question. This doesn't replace the rear calipers so there shouldn't be an issue.

 

yup it keeps everything functioning like factory

 

got the headlight finally...the only lamp i found that i really like and still gives me enough room on the inside of the headlight bucket to run my ducting to the turbos she looks so mean!!

 

So did you buy those from Jose? The headlights that is. I was wondering if he'd sell just the buckets and fog lights and let me source the bulbs and electronics.

 

Negative, i just did the custom bucket for him cause he had in mind something different when i started making the one on my car. A 90mm light will be offered down the road.

 

Interesting. I'll pm you about what I was talking about.

 

stock motor mang!! 2 years 4 dynos 400HP , drag racing, hard pulls, over boost 20psi and still 100psi
ooo by the way, its a $1500 dollar jspec

 

well what can go wrong did go wrong...

Lost the compression on the rear rotor, dropped all the way down to 40 psi

its so weird, the motor was running really strong and well everytime i started it up and let it idle at my house...then the first time we start it up at the tuners shop, no compression on the rear rotor...

nothing changed at all from when we had it at my house, to when we got there...so strange

heres some pics of the drive up there and a video of what she sounded like when we were there

 

did you compression check the motor before you left for the dyno? It was probly already toast.. although everyonce in a while people get stuck seals after letting the motor sit for extended periods of time. Was the motor sealed up? or left kinda open?

Either way......that sucks man, very unfortunate. I'm sorry man... At least you can finally paint the block hahaha

 

it was kinda open sometime but sealed up most of the time

the car never got on the dyno...it just never idled right so i never put it on the dyno

 

hmmm but did you compression check it before you went to the dyno? What was it at before?
