Haha, I'm not quittin'! I'm just pissed I have to continue working on this piece of junk.
Well, found some rare motivation late tonight, so I figured I had better run with it. Got one frame rail notch done start to finish. I feel it turned out pretty good, was a complete fuck to do, but I got it done.
Bad thing is - this is the easy side I think.
Anyways, heres what it all looked like prior:
left side:
right side:
and the notch:
I also finally snagged a pic of where my engine now sits in relation to the subframe. 3"+ feels good.
Damn man, this thing needs to get finished up and some 17's on it!
I have to say this is one of my favorite builds on stanceworks, I love the ingenuity and no fear to just rip it apart time after time.
Hahah thanks man, one of the best comments yet.
Had a real good few days, both notches are done and the engine is, for the most part back together.
I've purchased the larger Saab turbo and am having it rebuilt and having the compressor side upgraded (exact same as Ryan's setup). The small setup has been sold.
Tonight I got mostly everything non-turbo related done, I still need to modify the bracket that holds the brake prop valve, but that will be rather easy. I'm going to have to build a solid upper rad pipe-hose type thing to feed the need for a hard couple of bends from the rad to the head. Aside from that, I'm going to build a complete new downpipe and set of charge pipes, seeing as my whole previous setup has been sold.
The Saab intake manifold is proving to be one of the best pieces in aiding to fit the engine the way it sits now. The t-map sensor can actually be bolted into the manifold now and everything fits beautifully, all under the hood.
Anyways, onto the pics as usual. They are less than exciting, as it looks pretty much the same as it did a couple of months ago.
Bare with me, they'll get more interesting soon enough.
So long story short, the initial wheels I had on order are apparently impossible to get in Canada.
So, I started shopping around, looking at used wheels etc and came upon a set in Ohio.
So this weekend, we went for a bit of a road trip, picked up 5 Enkei Aegis in 17x9 +38
The offset is a lot higher than I wanted, and they aren't as wide as I wanted either, so for this summer I'll be running some meaty spacers. Come winter, I'm going to send the lips out to be widened to make the fronts 10's and the rears 10.5's.
Anyways, the faces are bead blasted, so I need to decide on a colour.
that lists a bunch of reputable places in the states that do it for a reasonable price. I'm going to look for some fairly local guys who do it, I know they are around here, but if that falls through I'll ship the to the states.
