damn guys, we can;lt let this thread die!!!!!!


anywayz, i jstu dropped $600 on a crate motor. it was an AWESOME deal. it is a ford. it is a b ig block. and it is rare in my opinions. have only seen 3 total in my whole life. and it is new as a ****.

now, if anyone other than dub caps can guess it you get a really big cookie

 

Hmm....let me get back to you George on that one.
Dan,What did that small *** turbo come off of?

 

Ask Ren where the turbo came from, cause I don't remember what he told me now.

 

1.0 3-cyl Daihatsu turbo.

Did you post a pic of this on Nopistons.com?

Ren

 

George, 428 Cobra Jet?

Or 427 SOHC?

Ren

 

Yep sure did, I need to tell those guys what it is from now.

 

Cool another FD in wilmington, a silver 93. The guy just sent me a PM, hopefully i'll get to check it out tomorrow. Maybe you have seen him around Chris?

 

no ren, it is bigger than that

 

Well George just tell us what it is......come on man!!!!

 

it is a 514 Ford crate motor :-D

600hp and 590 ft/;bs

 

Holy Mother of Pearl George!! What are you putting that beast of a motor in??

I think I know of the FD you're talking about Dan, I've seen one with rims. Direct him towards this thread, of tell him to PM me (maybe he can meet up with us on Friday..even though I'm still working on getting off)

 

It was good to meet you too Ren, I enjoyed it.

Dan...are you going to turbo the mini???? You would officially own the two sweetest cars in town. I would even have a little certificate printed up for you:

This certificate is presented to Dan
for owning
'The two sweetest street cars in Wilmington'

 

and then he'll turn THAT daily driver into an insane street car and have to buy ANOTHER daily driver. Because we all know what happened to his other 'daily driver' s-10.

Maybe someday I'll get to turn my daily driver into a sweet sleeper too.


Dan, do you have the turbo completed on the FD yet? How's tuning coming? and when do I get my ride?

 

Answer your question?

Ren

 

1000th post!

As with George, I thought I'd post it in here, for old times' sake.



Ren

 

Would?? Dude I thought I already owned the two sweetest cars in town
Actually my cousin and i want to build a turbo charged go-kart to kill ourselves on. However if I have the funds to buy another mini I will be modding it and turbo charging it, already talked to my dealer/importer about it......maybe powered by a rotary engine.

Haven't finished the car exactly, its done but theres a 3inch gap between the downpipe and midpipe. I drove it across town without getting pulled, made it to the shop and got it on the lift. But i'm still waiting for my buddy with the welder to get off his lazy *** and connect the pipes.

Haven't heard back from the guy with the silver FD yet, but hopefully he can get up with us Friday.

 

BRIAN @ ROTORSPORTS

Can you make a 1 rotor engine? Any details?

 

is there something wrong with that?

 

i dunno man. was thinking about keeping it as a "spare" for my truck. b ut i think i am gonna sell it. i bought it for $600 and got offered a top price of $10,000 so far

 

you are still second best

 

why a 1 rotor? why not jsut go with a 2 rotor? will it not fit in a mini or whatever you are putting it in?

 

Ren- yes, that answers my question and congrats on the 1000th post.

Dan- you're right, you do own the 2 sweetest cars in town, even with an N/A mini

George- 10 grand? holy crap...wouldn't that pay for the VR4...or more mods for your current 2 cars?? (like nitrous for the ReX and Supercharger for the truck )

Tony- I'm going to call around tonight to find someone to work for me, I'll probably let you guys know later tonight if I'm off.

 

nope, nothing wrong...ya lucky b*****d

 

to the RiceRocket!!!!!! He ownz all!!!!

Chris and Dan, I am leaving here on Friday morning at around 10, so I should be there around 3 I guess. Let me know if you guys want to meet up somewhere, or where I am staying. There are 2 of us coming down but only one vehicle for us to share. I'm staying at the Marriott just down from Hooters.

E-mail me at EMTtony@msn.com
or on IM EMTtony

Later

 

I would like to tinker with something maybe. And I know that the guy who deals, imports and restores mini's that I bought mine from would be interested in something like that to put in place of 850-1275cc motors when he does the restorations.
