Great work man, Rock falls the start of the 2016 season right?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

MY GOD!! Youre just a machine with this car!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Thanks for all the feedback!

I'm kind of excited to see the improvements at Rockfalls this spring. Traction should be better with concrete.

I installed the new snail, and went from a 3.5" down pipe to a 4" too.

The exhaust wheel is way more efficient and 10mm larger, should make more power everywhere in the power curve. The Garrett is a 10 blade vs. The 11 blade on the pte.

I need to finish up the exhaust and install my 300m output shaft. That's all that's planned for this winter.

So beast!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Love it!!
Have you seen the grudge events at CFR for 2016?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Made some progress last weekend, I dropped my transmission and installed a 300m output shaft. The new shaft is on the right:

I also finished up the ss to aluminum joint transition on the exhaust and routed it under the oil pan. 4"is a very tight fit. It's lessential than 1/4 inch of clearance between the transfer case and oil pan, measure twice and cut once!

The oil filter looks a lot closer than it really is, over an inch away.

I need to get one more vband aluminum flange to finish up the exaust. I really like the Vibrant quick vband clamps with male and female flange sections for alignment.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

It's nice they have that on the aluminum pieces, I have used their SS v band and it's very nice. Great progress man.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Finished up the drag and street exhaust.

Super close to being finished up with all the winter upgrade plans.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Badass!!

I haven't even started my winter upgrade plans.

Have you seen the posting for KOTS at top end dragways up north?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Good work Mark, love this car!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

I now live 5 minutes from top end :)

I didn't even know until I moved here that it existed, drive by it every week.

I hope to attend many events there this year with Mark's old slicks that I bought from him!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

^nice! So you are saying we have a place to crash!?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

LOL, we will see. I no longer live the single life, family man now with woman and child so I don't know that she would approve of this.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

You have like 10 weekends until road should be clear of salt from spring rain.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

No clutch fork/MC? Trans just on there for mock up?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Exhaust looks good. Reminds me of the old days when I used to drop my catback at RF.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

It's got a hydraulic TB, no fork son!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Ah shit! How did I miss that post?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

The car is on the ground now! I had some pulsation in the brake pedal and i believe it was due to my caliper being mounted too close to the rotor. The rotors are scalloped and the pad was not centered on the rotor. My father in law helped me out, he has a cnc mill in his garage, and he has been trying out dyi anodizing. The result Is awesome. They are made from a strong 7000 series aluminum.

So impressive, so much fabrication work in this car. The anodizing looks great!
