    Slow and Cheap...

    I started here with this...


    A 94 DX with a bashed in drivers side rear quarter. Which preceded to gut, fart can and put a super SWEET ebay filter on. Cuz loud=fast...

    but I soon wised up. I hung a new quarter, put an interior back in it, swapped a BP in there and gave in a paint job. I also started autoXing a lot...


    I loved that car, but...

    Some one didn't stop when they should have

    I bought Pastor_Protege's car in Jan 07.

    I have since Megasquirted it, blown it up, rebuilt it, swap turbos, blown said turbo out, and swapped on an other turbo...

    Here's how I left it about a year ago...


    It pissed me off! On the first drive with the new turbo the rear main seal gave out, so I let it sit. I didn't mean to let it sit for that long but I ended buyin a house and that took up all my time...

    But now I have my own garage I can actually start workin on my car again!!!



    Getting back to it!

    I pulled the head off and started porting everything. For some reason my GTR intake mani had a TON of nasty flash all over the place.

    The stock port with some bad casting shift too.


    Just ruffed in.


    To get the shift out I needed to open the ports up a bit past the gasket. I still need to finish the ports off. I'm just giving it a line of sight port and maybe a little polish.

    Next I've got the cut all the nasty flash off and maybe try to fit a bigger throttle body.

    "There's a hierarchy of insanity in motor sports. Normal people think all racers are crazy. Folks who race sedans think people in open-wheel cars are nuts. People who race cars of any kind think motorcycle racers are absolutely off theirs meds. But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."

          I'm glad you are going back at it! So what are your plans? I got that Mustang throttle body if you still want it. I'll bring it up next time I'm in St. Cloud

              That's clean for my work space... I'm a little ADD so I forget to put things back.

              I have made a little progress on the mani and I also go a sweet new work bench! As for plans...Stay together as long as it can. That's about it. I have a Meth kit I'm putting together so that should help, but I just want to see the make tire smoke again and if the motor holds I have to start pinching pennies for a few Toyota bits I think.

              I couldn't give it up even if I wanted too. I'll always be back.

                Well I don't have much left from the turbo part out, all I have is a Holset HY35, GTX intake manifold, and a set of B6T rods.
