I like everything except the welds on the manifold. Can't complain about running 12's and getting faster

 

yeah, those few welds at the front of the manifold arent wonderful...it was my brother's first schedule 40 stainless manifold he welded. its held up a LONG time though, without any cracks.

that shot makes it look worse than it really looks too, i was thinking that when kyle posted it. odd shadows. not a problem though, everything inside is all ported perfectly smooth, and the welds have great penetration. cody from lovefab said they looked fine. haha

but still....... if that car was all "stock" looking, i would love 100% of it. </TD></TR></TABLE>

yeah, part of me would like it more if it didnt have the holes. someday they might go away and i'll do some under-body sheetmetal back there..that would probably work better too.

hmm...maybe i'll do that soon.

 

hell yeah.

 

i do have lots of aluminum laying around....i could tin that rear section very easily.

 

sign off H-T and get to work.

 

yeah yeah yeah..

i'm not sitting around my garage! i'm at real work. hehe

 

DANG SNOW.


this stinks. might get the afternoon off to work on the engine though

 

Yep... its that time of the year... fire up the propane heaters.

thanks man. the slicks are 24.5x8x14 MT's. i like em. gotta chop some JY fenders to make em fit though. i didnt like how the car hooked up with stock front stuff. it lifted so much, spun the crap out of them, then dropped and hooked, resulting in totally crappy 60 ft. times

Welcome to FWD drag racing.

 

why not try some skunk2 drag coilovers, probably too harsh for daily driving, but they can be raised up for slicks, and lowered as needed. just a thought. thats what i'm using next year

 

i've thought about it.

dont really wanna get whole new suspension. JY fenders are uber cheap.

and, when it sits all high up front, it creates a nice air pocket, and has to move a lot more air. there was so much wind noise at the end of the 1/4.....118 mph trap still ,but TONS of wind noise

 

Looking good

 

thanks man.

more updates tonight sometime i think

 

yea i am pretty sure the next time you go to the track you will be on my K sports. Since i am a nice guy and all.

 

sick
