LS1 Drift Build 'Nuff Said'

[Flavourless]

Thanks bro for tuning in... Man wish you where there at WekFest was a great show. I was hella busy though at the DPE Wheel booth but overall it was great. And Yup Russell is just killing it..



Thanks bro, and yup feels good finally diving into it... How have you been?

I have been good man. Busy trying to finish up this black series for SEMA and busy trying to set up my own shop and get things going for that. Super stoke things are finally coming together but it's nerve-racking too lol.

Dude. I love reading build threads and so I searched for some on the 'net. I found this one, and I just HAD to register to these forums just to say that you have done an awesome job so far! Keep up the good work!

And boy oh boy, you need to come to New Zealand for some beer. So many craft beers here. Ever tried any Tuatara?

Here i am, just sipping on my yuengling right now, and loving this whole thread. i just want to throw a couple points out there that was pestering me. are you not concerned about your cam timing? it just looked like you threw the camshaft in there and said a quick prayer that its good. all you need is a degree wheel to bolt onto your crank and a dial indicator, and then an adjustable cam gear of course. i would look into it, as it might rob you of some power (not that you cant spare any already also i am a little surprised you didn't quick check out your cam bearings while you were in there.

and i would run the intake to the side, as it seems your rad will be throwing off mountainous amounts of heat, no need to be pulling warm air into this bad ass ride.

all in all, i am in love with your attention to the little things, and the spare no expense attitude. definitely will be keeping my eyes trained on this build.

Oh wow bro thanks for the kind words, glad you registered on StanceWorks. This is a really cool place to be for sure.

Also I have heard of Tuatara but have not tried it, but then again I don't think they sell that state side.

Thanks for the kind words bro..

Its funny you said something about the cam. It was mentioned too on LS1tech about the cam when I installed. So I had a friend come over and do it for me since he had more experience in it.. But it was also kind of cool to see the debate on the LS1tech forum about the cam on some threads. Some say do it some say don't bother..

Such an amazing build dude.

[cen805cal]

Looking good sir can't wait to start the swap on my car going to be using the same sikky kit for my 240 in for more updates

[Royal_T]

Okay here I am finally back with some updates.. Like I said before the build has caought up to me so updates will be here and there..



If you like Blond Ales, check out Bomb Shell.. Is one of my fav and damn good..



Okay today we are finishing up a few things here and there. First is my tank for coolant, Just have to add AN fittings and we should be good to go.



This piece is really nicely built by Russell, It is going to go where my battery used to be.



Look at those welds, I just love his Fab work..



Like I said just have to add AN fittings and we are good to go.



Next is my PS cooler, finishing up the brackets for it so we can mount it up. Did not go with a heavy duty PS cooler due to the fact that The KRC PS pump works so well.



Next we have my new seat rails. I had to have some custom made cause the regular Bride brackets where to high causing my helmet to hit my roof.. So we made these as low as possible.



And got these nice little Side seat brackets from my good friend Stew.. Thanks:biggthumpup:



Russell himself mocking up the Bride seat...



Some more front end shots..



I can't get enough of this front end.. I just can't wait until its all painted up.. Might never put a bumper on while drifting....lol



ASD Hydro locked and ready to roll.. Just need to run lines now and it will be ready to go.



Russell welded a nice little base for it, so I can unbolt if I needed to



Started working on my splitter... TX style



Looking legit



I am going to make this black so it will be a nice contrast with the Matt White bumper



Russell just sent me this pic today... Going to look so clean when everything is all painted...

So there you guys have it for this week. My car is hopefully coming home next week or the following week. I will take finish product pics and also give you guys totals of everything.

Thanks

Good shit dude! Can't wait to see this thing in action once it's all done.
