I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

BUT, the car looks great. Love the wrinkle black/orange in the bay. Very nice!

 

yea haha it kills me .. and I half hate myself for it .. but i dont spend money on anything .. and dont really enjoy anything like I enjoy the car so **** it i guess .. I just try to not thing about it haha .. and thanks i am so in love with how it turned out

 

So, Ive got her back together and motor broken in .. took it up to get tuned and make some power .. was shooting for 800-850.. make the 3 hr drive to get tuned strap her down .. and get her all dialed in .. then when we start throwing power at her we start getting a misfire .. ignition is starting to go .. so we had to base line it and leave it alone until swap out my COP to a full CDI and then she'll be set and good to rock ..

I get back home and after and very fun journey with lots of stutters and misfires i get the wild hair to take a look at the coils and see if there is anything visible .. missing spring .. water.. etc .. well i pull it off and low and behold .. Coil 4 is corroded to hell ... FML .. so ive replace the that coil and she is running much smoother ... however im still going to wait and get a CDI ignition to just because being on stock ECU and only a COP just wont cut it







Vid of her before things went downhill this was 6K rpm and hardly any boost at all !!

man you've been down a rough road! but I know the feeling and having something you built is so great. the car looks amazing, good luck with the new numbers.

 

hahaha yea man ... so many ups and downs its not even funny ... but it has deff paid off and im very happy with her now .. just need iron this ignition thing out and itll be set and thanks I really appreciate it !

 

I've been through this whole thread! Lots of pics. I can't wait to start my first build. How was it?

 

haha I love pics and its cool to see things while they are apart .. im a visual/hands on learner so it helps me .. so why not share... and building yourself is so much fun .. very nerve wracking but its nice when it pays off and you get complimented on how well you built something but shop techs and tuners

 

I guess I'm just nervous about failing especially if I spend like 2-3k on parts for it to go up in smoke.. but I'm a visual/hands on learner as well. Essentially that's how I first started working on cars. My cars 5 year transferable warranty ends this year so its whatever lol. Best of luck with the car tho.

 

yea man I hear you on that .. this was my 1st build like i said and going for 800+ whp i was shaking when we were doing pulls on the dyno .. and the entire time i was doing break in .. but as long as you make sure your torque specs and clearances are right where they need to be youll be good to go man

 

well done sir, the passion and enthusiasm are hard to miss in this kind of a build

 

Thanks man, much appreciated .. and Im glad the passion isnt over looked .. poured so much into this

 

words of inspiration lol

 

Can you post a good picture of the calipers on your car? I'm digging that color a lot.

 

here you go man

 

Yet again been slacking and have some updates to throw in there Ill have to get on that here real soon !!!!!
