Small update. I FINALLY BOUGHT A WELDER. Now thats out of my system. Finally bought a welder after wanting one for so long. Been using the one at the shop for small projects here and there. But not having one here at home as really hampered me and what i could do.

Also picked up a few other things. Saw someone else using this speed blaster, and figured i could def use that on my car, anxious to try it out and see how it does! Also picked up a drill press and a belt sander. Anyone knows, if you have tried drilling through anything thicker than a thin body panel with a drill, its a major, slow, pain in the fucking ass.

Also got some ITB's in. They are Ducati 999R items. If your not familiar with ducatis, they are 2 cylider motors. Basically what that means for these its is that they are larger than the 4 cylinder bike its such as gsxr and hayabusa's which are in the 46-48mm range where these from the ducati are 52mm. Still need to order 3 more pairs for a full set, but i just ordered this first set for mock up and test fitting.

New toys - nice.. Have you decided on a new daily yet?

[DER E30]

Congrats on the metal glue gun!

I know exactly how you feel about the drill press, Regular drills suck.

Nothing yet. Wife and i went looking yesterday after work. Going today as well. Would like to pick up a is250 or is350, 06-10 i think the generation is. Just got the check from insurance yesterday and am cashing it to day at lunch so now im officially ready to purchase. Buddy of miner is selling an evo x but not sure i can swing the cash with a baby on the way.

Those throttles are going to cost you a fortune, why dont you just order 8 from jenvey?

Hell z32 throttles are 52mm and I have 6 lying around!

They arent nearly what you think they are. $100 for the pair, really not that bad. Jevvey wants twice that one single throttle body.

There was a guy on here who did his own castings and made his own itb's but I cant for the life of me find the build thread in the search. He was also getting into 3d printing. Real cool build but I cant find it in the search but maybe someone else will remember the build.

If you could find that, that would be FANTASTIC and id appreciate it very much.

Speaking of itbs, ive been doing alot of thinking on how i want to make them. Thought about making them cross each other and what not like the jenvey and kinsler setups, but that seems extremely difficult and is much more common route on LS motors. So i think i am going to do the vertical ibs like the link below. With how low the motor is i think i will have plenty room. Need to find a cheap s13 hood to throw on and check and see how much room there actually will be under there.

stoked on this build, in for more \m/

[anti.engineered]

Fair enough. I thought they would be more.

Vertical is a yes. Out the bonnet...
