Where did those videos go of your car you posted a while ago? Do you have new ones!?

Which vids? The new exhaust or the old car ones?

Few more pics from today.

do i see a crack in the first cylinder wall? pretty sure that's a crack. check it out.

ha, ha - April Fool right?... I was looking and looking... didn’t see what you referenced - then I realized its April 1st

Or did you really see a crack?

LOL

There is no crack. I looked over everything when I was there.

yes, april 1st. looks awesome, tim.

You had me second guessing myself for a minute.

That was good, I was on the road when I saw the message I was like DOH'

I'm starting to get excited!

Motor should be done today, turbo/manifold/downpipe coating should be done tomorrow and we will start putting everything back in Monday.

Some of you may think I'm nuts but I got a Kinetix SSV for a great deal so I'm going to try it. It's so cool looking, way less than half the price of the Crawford and no waiting list so why not. A few shops have told me it does show good gains on higher boost setups like my car will have so with any luck it will help.

I'm painting the timing cover and valve covers blue and getting all new blue hoses so it should look good. Noting like Viet's amazing engine bay but nice.

Now I need to decide if I want to take the CF off my strut bar and polish it or leave it.

damn thats gonna look sick tim. i am excited for u man. i'd say leave the strut cf

^^^ Gearhead **** right there!! I can see why you're getting excited, Tim.

Thanks guys!

With any luck I will have some baseline tuning done mid next week so I can break in the motor and clutch. Then a week or two later some good higher power runs.

It's been almost two weeks and I miss my car!

Looking good tim!!!!!

did you figure out the rod bolt torque specs?

Looking good Tim, I am heading back down there pretty soon for some more work.
