Another recommendation would be to do a carbon test to see if you have exhaust in the coolant. This would indicate a head lifting under peak cylinder pressure (weak stud/headgasket combo or detonation typically the culprit).

Re: Project Lex
 

Not really sure how to do that. Either way, sounds like I have to get into boost to do that. So hopefully I'll have the wheels back end of the week all finished with new rooobers on. So hopefully can drive it this weekend and see what I see.

Re: Project Lex
 

Pretty simple.

Re: Project Lex
 

Small updates.

I got the replacement ABS sensors installed. So just working on getting them wired to Infinity, slowly but surely. Also started wiring in the clutch pedal switch into Infinity as well.

While I'm really hoping 2017 is going to be a great year, I haven't lost focus of my 2018 plans either. So I got the motor loaded onto the trailer, and all the motor bits I bought from Real St., all loaded up as well. I'll be dropping this off with Daniel Koetz @ Precision Race Engine tomorrow to start doing his thing so it's ready in plenty of time for next Winter!

Hellz yeah, he wouldn't answer my messages so that kinda sucks for me.

He was supposed to write me up a quote.

Re: Project Lex
 

That's too bad. I can ask him for ya when I see him tomorrow if u want.

Side note, Automotive Concepts sent me this teaser pic today. They are refinished, tires mounted and balanced, ready for pick up tomorrow!

Re: Project Lex

daaammmnnnn, looks good!

Re: Project Lex
 

Motor has been dropped off and is now under the good care of Mr. Koetz.

Got the wheels back today with the new meats on.l as well.

Re: Project Lex
 

Finish looks good, and the meats look good as well

Re: Project Lex
 

Looking good!

Re: Project Lex
 

Clean and fresh!! Those rear tires look sweeeet. What kind are those on the front? They look like all seasons or snows haha.

Re: Project Lex
 

They are all-seasons. I got a really good deal on them (barely used). They are BFGoodrich G-Force Comp-2 tires. They actually have better ratings then the old Goodyear Eagles I had up front. So I think they will work just fine for me.

Re: Project Lex
 

With that much acceleration, channeling the majority of your stopping power through all-seasons with be an interesting experience if you ever need to haul 'er down in short order :lol:

Re: Project Lex
 

They are better than what I had on the front before, which had no issue slowing down from 131mph at the track. It'll be fine, I actually did it mainly to give you all something to nit pick, looks like it worked!

Re: Project Lex
 

Ahh ok. When you asked about it before you mentioned wanting summer only so they just didnt look like summer tires. Im sure they will be fine for some rips down the track.

Re: Project Lex
 

Gauge / Switch mount almost done.

Figs RLCA's in and BC rear coilovers in. Fronts are next. Not looking forward to the back n forth game setting the coilovers height.
