[Chris05ppwz]

Yes, Yes, YES! Can't wait to see it fully done! I hope ill be able to do a project this extensive someday.

[SnazzyQ]

Holy shit.

can i have your car

Okay so I fixed my TPS sensor.. First I bought a new one just to rule out a bad TPS sensor. That was not the case so I knew that the sensor was reading backwards.. After switching the 5v and ground wire we were good to go.

Here is a little vid.. I need to take a proper vid but these will do for now.

Now that we have this wrapped up next on the list is to install my rivet nuts for overfenders, install brake lines, lower car, get alignment, wrap car and then schedule a tune session cause car needs it bad.

Thanks everyone for the kind words..

ITs ALIVE!!!!! Finally! I've been watching this for a while now and am eager to see the big finish!

Funny how budgets end up soooo deliriously high ain't it????

Thanks man for watching.. I can't wait to get the car dialed in (stance wise) and get her wrapped one color

And I know price can drop up on you on a build.. Lets just hope the wife does not find this build thread.. lol

I'm getting so antsy, i want to see this thing finished

Same here bro.. The light at the end of the tunnel is just around the corner. I can't wait until the day comes I open my garage and it is sitting on the ground one color looking mean..

picked up the beast last night with the "Tow Pig"






I will have more pics and vids come this week. Car sounds like the devil and I love.

Oh my what an amazing build.

I'm 99% sure tho that this thing will never be drifting.
According to the sick amount of work and money that has gone into it. Just too expensive to thrash it around the track?

Because wise man once said: "There are 2 kinds of drift cars: ones that have been crashed into wall and those that will be"

Been following this build for a long long time! Love checking in and seeing progress!!

[Royal_T]

Should be picking up the car this weekend so should have more pics for you and vid..

Okay so here is another vid (yes vid is shitty, I will get a better one later)

So we got the car to idle better, still need to jump on the dyno so we can iron out a few things but hey you get the ideal..

[Royal_T]

Sooooo the ChaseBays BS continues... Figuring out why it sounds like **** and wont hold a idle..





BAM!!! Pins were not locked in,, Like come on... So we did not have all eight ignition signals more like 6.. We have a rough tune but need to get a wide band on it. Also my TPS sensor reads backwards.. 100 at idle and 0% at WOT (guessing chasebays is to blame for this) So going to buy a new TPS just to be safe since mine was used.


But as of right now I have another vid with a better idle that I will post up (question how do you embed Vimeo vids?)


So for now I am going to bring her home, run my brake lines, lower car and get alignment and then head back to Dallas to get tuned and fix any issues we come up with..

[Royal_T]

congrats man! first fire up feels good eh?

Thanks and hell yeah it feels good... lol

so nice to see this thing running after 3 years of following this build. cant wait to see vids of it running 100%

Thanks man,, I can't wait to see the car overall completed how I see it in my head..

Facts behind that is, if you have just made machining work or honing to your engine, the piston rings will eat more of the cylinder wall if you use mineral oil, this makes the piston rings seal better. if you havent done any machining to the engine its fine.

Also if you have done machining, you should run the engine couple times, before reaching high oil temp and change oils after first time reaching 'high' oil temp to remove any residue that might have left from the machining work.. just to be sure.. and for that purpose the cheap mineral oils are pretty ok

Other than that, nice build keep it up!

Thanks for the info def going to us it...
