Drag Racing / Re: first runs of 2013
« on: May 11, 2013, 07:00:42 AM »
i got to work on my car a bit last weekend....the whole time knowing it will be in no way, shape, or form moving this summer...

it made me sad, i envy you all!

that being said, my dad seeing how bad this is killing me missing a year at the track, has graciously let me barrow his 99 bmw M roadster for the track this summer...


i'd say its a fair trade off, especially since he just happened to pick up a buttload of Dinan parts for it and letting me fab up some goodies for the car this season :D

cant wait for the first race weekend at my my local spot. june 15th cant come fast enough

glad to hear you like them. you should report back after beating on it a bit so we all know how they do with the smallblock under the hood and the added torque to the rear wheels.

does it hook up off the line any decent?

http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/3740714592.html

The craigslist add pretty much says it all. Hate to see my little sport truck go, but after my wedding costs, My rx7's motor taking up all my spare cash, and buying my Harley.....I am now in the situation where i have to many projects! id rather see the truck go to someone who will clean it up like i intended too then see it rot at my property sitting on the rack burner for the next few years....Its a great lil truck with a LOT of potential. hate to say it, but it would almost be worth swapping a rotary back in...well...almost ;)

anywho, if you are interested please message me Via txt or email on the add, not on here. thanks

Price is FIRM. not making any money on this deal, just wanna get back what i have into it the last 2 months i have owned it...

Hello all...ITS PICTURE TIME!!!!


My Employee Nates globe of a head in the shot....lol...removing the 12a


Empty bay. time to start striping, filling, shaving, painting, and wire tucking...


There's my new motor, thanks to my good buddy boomer. gotta gut it down and send the block out...


Side view...and no, sadly i will not be rocking the patriotic paint scheme...lol


and there she is as of right now


next step is completely stripping, simplifying, caging, and reconstructing the interior to my new design. I'm trying to be very James Bondish


had to get this shot, new project, new shop, new business, new direction in life....it's all very positive. makes me smile.





AAAAAND.....the new details...

I have extended this build time another year. I have a friend Who doe's fiberglass body panel molding and he's working with me on a full fiberglass front flip. This means front tube framing :), also a much more aggressive front and rear suspension geometry, a few more little tasteful mods, *cough* Nitrous *cough*.....

anywho, I am kind of bouncing between this, my Repu, my pickup, my celica....while working a full time job and managing my small business...So i am sorry if i am a little slow on updates. I get a lot done when i have the chance to wrech on it, but that time seems to be less and less lately. once this drag seasons starts off i should get some more time to throw at her :)

I really wish my f250 was repainted so i could get a yellow sticker to paint match it....

i just got a new billet grill for it last month and i have been debating on making a stainless decepticon emblem for the grill...i think it might just class it up a bit. people already tell me it's scary... ;)

but yeah, let me know on those erox. I also have a question on custom color's. My dad was wondering on paintmatched fender hash marks for his M roadster

Fabrication / Re: custom motor mounts
« on: March 21, 2013, 07:53:45 AM »
Yeah I kinda wish I had made my own, just so they'd be stronger than the granny's mount.  If I was to do it, I'd hang the motor/trans where it needs to go and build them around that.  Lots of folks do a tube design with bushings to dampen the vibrations.

Like so:



The granny mounts for the FB's are such a joke. I'm going to end up using a bushing in the final mount design i am doing for my car, exept using tri tubing, not round.

I could make coilovers for that thing pretty easy. 4 valve springs 8 washers and a couple trunk struts lol.

I wouldn't mind seeing this thing with the s2000 drivetrain.

 :D

i originally wanted to do another jap 4 banger swap...but i could honestly never bring myself to use a honda power plant. I would REALLY love to see this thing with a 12v vr6, stroked & snailed...but i just don't have the time, money, or motivation right now. the SBF swap is just to easy lol
