Default A few pics of a little progress.

Well it has been a long time comming due to so personal issues, but finally the motor is ready to go back into my SOM car and took a few pics before I install it etc... I had to take the path of ease of fixing on my cars when they were both down so I concentrated on Black F1 car cause it wasn't going to take as long etc... Now it has been running fine for a long time and have been slowly gathering parts sending one of the turbos back for repairs removing heads at which time I upgraded them and put in a custom turbo grind that Jim Moran at Speed Inc. helped me with to cure the valve float issues I was haveing so it just took a lot longer that some of my friends might have thought LOL! But its going in and should be running in a day or two and will post up the results which should better than the ones I posted in my signature that peaked at 4800 rpms LOL! And the last one has my most priceless modification standing next to the cars drivetrain.

Well, its about damn time. You were just giving no love to the SOM car. She was getting jealous.

Your daughter has gotten so big. I remember when she was first born. Boy how time flies.
