^I don't know about thru the auto, that is about 1024whp thru a 5 spd.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Nice manifold! Wish I had mine. How far away is it from running, besides getting the trans in it?

Re: Progress since last year
 

I'll try. Might hit that with some nitrous! lol. All depends how tight my converter actually is and what not.

Waiting on A bud to finish up the head. So, right now the short block is waiting on the engine stand begging for the head :). The chassis is close to ready.

Any word on when your getting yours, Mark? Also be prepared for a customs fee, as a cod possibly when you get it.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Suspension is in, brakes are swapped. Sanded all the surface rust off the rotors. taped off the engine bay. Sanded all the tube work on the front end, and primed it. Waiting for the paint matching the car to show up to paint the front end. New head is finished and assembled. Wheels swapped. Lots more to do this weekend but, hoping to have the engine in and wired up by the end of the weekend.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Nice progress!

Re: Progress since last year
 

hmmm, I'd like to see that in person.

You kept the stock front crossmember?

Re: Progress since last year
 

Yeah for now its staying stock. It was like that when I got the car.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Well, the motor is almost done and it will be going into the car this week. only thing I have left to get is a 2g awd auto jack shaft....

Re: Progress since last year
 

Update... lol Going to make it to the track october 8th I think for a few runs with the car.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Looks like a beast!

Good luck at the track!

Re: Progress since last year
 

Looking goooooood.

Hope you get it together in time and have a great time at the track!

Re: Progress since last year

Re: Progress since last year
 

Thanks Brad, Josh, and f-U Nick!!!

Re: Progress since last year
 

F yeah, you better make it somewhere this year!!

PS, i'm tired of seeing your WTB ad on link for that damn shaft!!! Get one already!!

Re: Progress since last year
 

I did buy one like a month ago but usps broke open the package and yeah needless to say I bought 2 now.... Pretty lame F... usps!!!!

Re: Progress since last year
 

THat's what was in the broken package, i didn't remember.

Re: Progress since last year
 

I shall hide your axle once it arrives, in exchange, I want a ride :)

Re: Progress since last year
 

Done yet?

Re: Progress since last year
 

I shall shoot you in the toes until you divulge the information! !!

Re: Progress since last year
 

well, I've had the car running and driving for about two weeks now. I wish the season wasn't over. Here are a few pic's I'll link the video but I dont think it will work. I got it on the road on Halloween night. The car gets on the stall very well from a dig. This auto stuff is so much fun! I've deemed the car the "automonster" It's on about 22-24psi currently. I'll be giving rides out tomorrow before it goes into storage.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Looking good! Get it out early for next season, get the bugs worked out. Can't wait to see what this thing does down the track!

Re: Progress since last year
 

Good job on getting this thing running, I'm interested to see how it goes next year at the track!

Re: Progress since last year
 

WHat's left I can't wait to see this thing run 8s.

Re: Progress since last year
 

All the bugs are worked out. It's running great! All I need to do for the track is put on some slicks, and turn the boost up. Thanks for the comments guys!

Re: Progress since last year
 

^Oh sorry, by bugs I mostly meant axles and drivetrain components :D

Re: Progress since last year
 

I have drive shaft shop stage 5 axles... should be fine. T-case is my only worry, but I foot brake the car so even that should be fine.

Re: Progress since last year

Re: Progress since last year
 

Thanks John!! I'm wishing it was spring time already!!

Re: Progress since last year
 

10s on low boost.

Re: Progress since last year
 

Looks like we'll have a few local hotshot 1gs flying around this upcoming season ;)

Re: Progress since last year
 

^U gonna build something too?

Re: Progress since last year
 

^The guy that bought his old 1g built it into something pretty decent.

Re: Progress since last year
 

^ I know, i'm helping him go autoz.

Re: Progress since last year
 

AUTOMONSTER!!!! AHHHH!! lol

Re: Progress since last year
 

Woo! I won't have that fancy billet converter though, I will follow your advice and stick with the 1g auto. It won't hold a candle to your beast though! Give me a ride! I need to feel the automagic firsthand.

Re: Progress since last year
 

I'll pass out the ride card in the spring for sure. I'll turn up the boost as well and see what she can do.

Over the winter mods:
Carbon fiber hood, and hatch (If I can find a hatch).
Possibly do a chassis painless wiring harness.
Hoosier quick time pro's on all corners.
Hook up the nitrous.
Find a different set of wheels to put street tires on. (open to suggestions, like the evo9 bbs in grey)

Re: Progress since last year
 

Nice plans, what's the minimum weight you can have for real street?

Re: Progress since last year
 

I think 2700lbs? Maybe 2800lbs though.
