I think I spent all day today reading this thread but I got to the end and the year old build is still not done yet. Damn, I hung in there for hours in anticipation of the results. It’s like I took the hottest chick for a date and after dinner she says hey let’s go to your place and then she just ***** in my bathroom and says see ya later.

I would love to **** on your bathroom floor for a giggle.

​​​​​​Life happens and things change bro.
I don't actually need to sell the vehicle anymore so when I get time it can be finished off.

Dude, 56,000+ views and ya just stop telling the story cold turkey? Screw it, Ima ask than, whats up? What happened? Where does the build currently stand? Any hiccups? Hold ups? Regrets? Spill it! You cant spend all this time on a thread and not deliver something we can learn from or take from it.

Nothing has really changed since my last post.
The stall converter still hasn't been touched yet.
Other priorities have taken precedence over this project.
One thing though is that a small engine oil experiment is going to be conducted.
There is an oil called ULX which has seen huge success down here. It is a green mineral based oil.​It works great with e85 and apparently lasts longer than synthetic base stocks while also making more HP due to reduced friction.
Nothing will be getting done for the time being and if the right buyer comes along and offers me the $ I want, I will sell it.
Love you guys.

Hi Guys.
I hope everyone is doing well.
I know it's been a long time since I have posted on this site.
I bet many of you miss my camshaft recommendations. Lol
Anyway, I have been very busy with life and have had minimal time to attend to this project..
The latest update, is that the stall converter was finally readjusted and upon me testing the vehicle, the driveability was much improved.
Half throttle inputs now rev the engine to 5000rpm so it's quite wicked.
The engine was never put back on the dyno either.
Unfortunately this thread will not be able to have a "happy ending" due to vehicle being sold.
It was a reluctant sale as more important things in life took priority over this.
I'm sure one day I will get back in the game.
My thanks to those that had interest in this thread.

Bort, it's great having you around. Always good conversation and ideas.
Hey it's a happy ending if things are working out for the best for you! Or even close...
We love our cars, but life has other facets that require attention.
Here's praying your road takes you to good places!

bortous

Love you too G

Car has been officially sold.
I can't believe it's gone and I'm very sad about it.
Seeing it go just broke my heart but it needed to be done.
Logic needs to override emotions.

What's done is done. But that includes making friends, and we will still be here to bug each other and of course, you!
Come by when you can and let us know what's going on, car-related or not.
Have a good one, mate!

Moderators, please lock my thread.
