Dont get down man you got a good build going.

 

Jaime I switched a shift to attend this dyno. Broooooooo.

 

Not much I can do about that dude....sorry I don't have better news. Sorry about your shift. I figured it was more courteous to cancel immediately, and give the tuner the chance to schedule another car. ...then to have a missed opportunity cause of me.

 

Update? You get to work on the vibration yet?

 

Nope.

No time, less motivation.

I have plans to remove drivetrain this weekend.

Keep you posted.

 

Update Bro!! Whats going on with the build? Hopefully you haven't given up on it...

 

In a sentence, **** this thing.

Thats how I feel about it, most of the time. I did remove the drivetrain, and, I haven't done a thing with it since. Not that I haven't attempted, in a half *** way kinda. I want to send out my clutch(exoskel)/flywheel to be inspected, resurfaced, and if possible, balanced. I called a couple of spots here, but didn't get far. Honestly though, I haven't invested alot of time into calling....just called a couple places....ne and ne,....been to busy during day to scavenge for clutch places...after hours, when I have the time, nobody is open(I have a new, much busier, more stressful job position-leaves me no time during day)... So,...the clutch,...I need to find a place still. Maybe tonight, I won't relax,..and I'll spend my night, looking for places to do it. (not motivated to spend my time in front of a pc at night)...

,,,then there is the torque tube. Yeah, well, I called a well known company(specializes in this ****(chassis) ,....twice,..granted, it was late in the day but, I did leave messages, descriptive, name, number,..I never once recieved a call back. That was two weeks ago(thanks alot). I wanna call another place but,, they're site was blocked from work, and since then,...haven't really been motivated to find the free time to look for more places.

I'll get another companies info tonight, save the number, and call them tomorrow on lunch or something. I am ready to ship/send somewhere.


So, that's that noise.

On the other end, I had a day off last week, I did spend some time on the vette. I finished solid control arm bushing swap, which has been a thorn in my side to get done. I did the bottoms a while back when the car was down,..cause it was easy, and I had the time... well, time escapes these days but,, finally, the uppers, and lowers are completely done. Eventually, 4 new tires, and I am going to align the car. I can't wait to drive it like that, solid bushings, solid mounts, coilovers and some sort of RR tire.

I also did the longer rear studs, cause with my FIKSE's,..they're for a C6,. so I used 1/4 spacers, now I have 3/8's, with hardened studs. So It should give the car a little more aggressive look. What else.....hmmm.....O,..I ordered some HARDLINE and fittings from RacePartSolutions in Boca,Fl today cause I am tired of looking at sloppy vacuum lines on the driver side. So,..Not a major priority at the moment but,..those will probably get done soon too.

That's the problem, the longer the car sits, the more **** I end up buying. Sucks, cause, I want a house.....the car is not making it easy.

Thinking very hard about the future of it....and what I am gonna do with it. The TT LSX mustang I was building, may have a very interested buyer for that suddenly, so that may go as well.


Yes, some progress but,....not what I, or anyone wants to hear. As you can see, I'm all over the place with this thing.

^ Dude sick!!! You think you could get me a deal on a set of nitrous bottle brackets? lol

 

Ahh..wish I had the power to. What you wanna do is make it to the PRI show in Orlando which is coming up in a few months. That's where we bought this bracket that you see. I highly recommend saving some CASH,..and going to that show.... on the last day, ****'s don't wanna bring back show pieces....you can always get something for a good price. Even GOPRO's...etc.

Do you work for, or have the ability to get Automotive credentials?

 

Unfortuntaley no lol. Do I need to be a registered to attend that show?

 

You'd have to be in the auto industry of some sort to get in,....I may be able to get you and a buddy or wife into the show this year. IIIIFFFF it's something you are serious about going to,...let me know, i'll put in the leg work.

 

This is still one of my favorite builds... I want your hood..

 

Much appreciated man. Thank you.

For you, i'll give you the parts list on how to replicate it.


On a good note,...I have been talking with textralia about my clutch setup,...hoping to get a resolution within the next week, as to what I am gonna do about the car(clutch).

 

free clutch ftw!!!

 

Awesome!!! I dont know many shops locally that can do the hood that way. It might be easier if I took the hood off my car and brought it to you guys..

 

Just an FYI. I am running the Tex twin disc. Same clutch for about 3 years now.

 

Ha, yea that would be nice but ain't nuttin free in my life hommie.


That's doable for sure. Lemme get in touch with my Bodyshop dude and see if and when he is available.

Nice to hear about the tex. :-) I have to do a measurement or two, and get back with them and I'll have to figure out what ima gonna do

 

Damn!! Who's shop is that?

 

Our own bro. Just a private one though.
