when you need the exedy stuff let me know. i think pretty much all your parts came from me at my cost so i kind of sponsored your car lol.

i think 10's will be easy considering what you've done in the past with less mods.

looks good though, nice documentation and write up Peter.

Go ahead and pull the back seats too-it's not like you have any friends to drive around!

lolz, hope to see it running soon man. Be fun for both of us to mop up in LG, but you know that my current issues may prevent my time out this season.

will do Tom, i'm thinking end of the week, or early next week.

Like i said, i think 10s will get done even on the nitto drag's, just need to get that 6.9x 1/8th consistent then i'll let her rip

yea i know right! STi's and s2k's, GTR's, and the boosted teggy's won't have a shot



anyways, here's a couple updates:

head pretty much done, except the sensors


front cover, balance shaft, pulleys all one, just waiting on the damn dowel pin for the block to get the head on and timed!



Thanks to my Good friend Raif from RRT!

Congrats on graduation, and good luck with the build man! I've always liked your car, for some reason I've always been a sucker for wingless RR evo's, and well since yours is an RS it comes pretty easy for you haha.

Not many updates, just bolted up the intake manifold, crank pulley, fuel rail, injectors, and an omni 4 bar map in the manifold.

placed an order with summit to piece together my own oil cooler kit since i had time to burn last night and did a little research. i also ordered transfercase and tranny fluid. hoping by this weekend or early next week it will be up and running!

Thanks and yea it sucks, really wanted to push the stock block but oh well.siht happens.



Anyways quick update: engine in, transfer case in, tranny in. Two busted fingers and my back is KILLING me lmao. Pics tomm.

Tommorrow I plan on bolting the transfer case up to the tranny, hook up all the hoses and wires and Get started on the oil cooler stuff, maybe put the axles in. If not axles in wed along with the manifold, turbo, radiator, and hopefully start it up wed afternoon.

I'm going on a small vaca to Montreal on Friday early am so the car will be on hold till Monday when I'm back

Everything is done, fixed a couple leaks that I had. Did a boost leak test and tightened up a few clamps and all is well now. Also got rid of the evap/emissions garbage. Also made a block off plate for the EGR.

Just patiently waiting to get tuned so I can hit the track!!
