gay!!!!!


joel, where have you been up to these past few months?

jaime, looking forward to that build

 

Is it running yet? XD jk jk hows the progress duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.

 

its getting there, talked to lucky 7 racing..


and there gonna build my motor for sure..


just gotta pick up my new rear iron....


gonna drop everything off next week!



LUCKY 7 RACING FTW!!!!!!!!

 

Me? Building on my FC of course! The new intake tract was worth a nice little bump (before and after follow), torque was up 25 ft-lbs too.



Pardon the thread jack, but at least Jaime knows what he has to keep up with now. I normally try to keep threads on track but it's not like that matters in this case... (I kid, I kid...) Anyways, I know y'all just lurk here because you've got love for our homie himeh. Oh, my car also now has a pretty trick accusump setup so hopeful I can avoid another round of "rods go boom"... Thus far I haven't exactly been a study in reliability. I never blew a rotary but I did lose a v8.

Hey Jaime, I want to see a dyno curve with 400+ come July 4th. Paint can wait. Focus on the go fast part first. We all know you've got a FD rotor key wagered on the completion date now... (though admittedly it's not like these things are ever really done).

Oh, keep looking out for the parentals interests too. You gotta keep that on good terms if you're going to pull this off. It was pretty cool of your dad to offer you the job back, don't forget that next time something goes wrong and you get to suck it up and take it.

 

Damn, that's sweet Joel!!!!

 

^damn joel. you blew my car out of the water with that dyno pull...


and i can vouche, that car ******* pulls.....................



but on the more serious note,

all the motor work should be taken care of in the next 2 weeks,.

im aiming for 380RWHP at 12 psi on a gt35r.

which seems pretty achieveable after some of the research ive done..

so reaching 400 should be a breeze



and as far as paint is concerned. ima hold off till i get her running,

i still gotta find the right injectors, radiator, and thats pretty much all that im missing to get the car on the road...

so expect some reall good updates next week for sure


-jaime

 

i think i will have the fd done before jaime does.... jajajaja

 

cuz your keepping your fd stock...

mines is far from stock

 

 

Thanks fellas. Back on topic...

Jaime, I found a cool trick on dent removal that might work on your rear quarterpanel:

Metal in the middle shrinks from the cold while the perimeter stays hot, metal relaxes and away it goes.

 

^ that is awesome. good stuff.

 

it is good stuff, but i wish it worked on 1/2 deep crevasses.

 

hey jaime, i got a mishimoto radiator if you want it. i had bought it and ended up pickin up a koyo. the bads: i had to grind out the tabs on it to make the fans fit, i don't believe it has any mounting tabs and no drain plug. but if you feel like makin it work for you it is just collecting dust in my garage.

 

THATS ******* DOPE!!!

ima try that tomorrow and ill post a video of it too ahahhaha

thanks for looking out Joel, i appriciate it brotha.


sweeet, shoot me a pm. im interested

 

what do you need 400hp for? purpose of the car? road race or autox or what?

 

Very nice numbers man. Bet she pulls like a raped ape. I can't ever go back to less than 400rwhp cars now.

 

If you have to ask...

 

Heard you're going to sell the FD now?

 

He's building the FD to become an ls1 eater. But so far, Joel proved that the ls1 cannot be eaten that easily.

 

^^ hahah yea,


but basically im buidling it for the sole purpose of road racing it..

 

Just remember there's always a bigger fish.

 

^^ hahahaha yea, joel took me for a spin in the fc................



i gotta step up my rotory game...

but ill be happy taking out most subies, evos, other fds, and such lol

 

Before you do that, invest in a good camera and passenger who has steady hands. We'll want video of subie/evo ownage.

 

^^ will do!. thers a 240, a suby and a couple other cars i gotta take out from my neighbor hood first...


and should handle pretty good at the track too...

thats were the real test will be

 

you're selling the FD so........ no worries
