well let me know what time you guys are going and i'll tag along hopefully masin will drive his t2 out so i can see it move more than 10 feet

 

As far as I know Greg, we should be going sometime in the afternoon after Minda gets off work. As soon as I know for sure, I'll let you know.

 

i drove it home!! it needs to be tuned, bad!!

 

And now, my friend, you get to learn the joys of megasquirt!

 

*sigh* good times were had with this turbo setup hahaha

 

yeah, greg, it is at spartanburg expo center. 10 - 6 on sat. and 10 - 5 on sun.

call me if you are gonna go.

 

good to hear the car running. How is progress coming along? I see Ty is selling all of his turbo stuff off at this point. Im considering picking up the turbo manifold, just in case....

 

It is coming along. Just bondo stuff is taking forever, especially since i'm allergic

Its good to see that you are gonna try again! Better luck this time!

 

hmm, i may have to make this kit again to show you people how it's done haha, just messin.

 

Zac? Is it you? Ty was telling me you got a job with rotor sports. How are things going? Have you turbo'd the car at this point, or still working on it?

 

Again, i apologize for not updating this thread as often as i should. We have been working diligently on it - i swear. Just so many LITTLE things to work out. We finally got most of them worked out (like the brakes, etc); most importantly - the issue with the FPR allowing WAY too much fuel through and very SEVERELY flooding the motor. Come to find out, we had the return line hooked up wrong!!! lol.

Anyway, the car does finally run AND drive on it's own. Now i need to register it and get it too a muffler shop! lol

It felt sooooo good to be driving it again! Even if it was a short drive. All this effort, time, money, blood, sweat, and tears (did I mention money?) is most definitely worth it! I can't believe it is all finally paying off! I'm not out of the woods yet though. it is running a little rough still and it seems to hesitate just as I am hitting boost. On top of that, my tach isn't working. So, if y'all have some advice on that, i'd be happy to hear it!

Anyway, here are some pix of me driving it for the first time since FEBRUARY!!!!!

Wheels are sexy

 

Thats awsome. Bravo!

It drives on its own!! omg, you didnt tell us you made a robot!!

 

they'd be even more sexy if the front ones were backwards and had flat tires

 

Thanks! They are epsilons. 15x8 in the front, and 15x9 in the back!

Hardy har har. I guess i should have specified that I meant we no longer have to PUSH it anywhere! lol.

yeah, the valve stem is shot on the front passenger, and at some point, the previous owner of the wheels had the fronts "turned". I guess that is the beauty of 3 piece wheels, or the downfall - however you want to look at it.

 

Well, just a quick update. Got the car registered, the exhaust hung, and took it to paint and body! She'll be gone from the yard for a month or two, so i guess i will have to go visit every now and again.

 

i don't believe it! i call shenanigans!

 

Oh yeah? Come over and check out the yard

 

Ok heres a small update on the car it has front end and it looks kinda funny





as it sits at the body shop avaiting final fiting and trim and then paint and stuff and other stuff and some more stuff mainlly loose ends to be fixed and theres quite a few of them.

 

were gonna have to do something about that ride height

 

yes I was thinking the same thing I am thinking the lovering kit from mazdatrix the one that drop the front about 2" or so without sacrificing shock travel and I dont know about the rear big sub box or something

 

Awsome!

 

I dunno man, the bumper is only a few inches off the ground. Any lower, and it is gonna be ridiculous. Maybe some better fitting tires?

 

trim the bumper, that thing looks like a damn forklift!! lol

 

awesome work, but for the love of god dont put that horrible front bumper on. You must find something else. It doesnt go with that car at all!!!
