Re: db8 build
looking good so far. I like the way wire tucks look when finished, but they look like way to much work for me to ever care to do so myself. Why is your crank fucked?

Re: db8 build
well its a long story but when the motor blew the first time i just had it turned and they messed it up so they had to weld it back up and turn it again and it just is all out of round and like .75 over on the mains and .40 over on the rods i mean u cant boost on that so im kinda screwed there

i havent made an update on my build thread in awhile i was waiting to be out of school and get some bills taken care of before going all out i had enough of just buying a part here andf there so this is a big update cant wait to start assembely and begin :6
recently purchased parts Cp 9:1 pistons Probe rods Hondata s200 with boost options Turbo timer Dsm injectors Short block (for the crank ill sleeve it later on) fuel line tuck material wire tuck material thats about all for newely added parts but i figured i would go ahead and add up how much money i have spent so far should get interesting Radiator 98 Fmic 120 Turbo 50 Rods 268 Pistons 576 Shortblock 100 Injectors 50 Fuel line tuck material 133 Wire tuck material 46 Suspension 268 Turbo timer 66 Fuel rail 90 Hondata 300 manifold 190 Total 2355 doesnt seem like much but crazy to think your motor has 2 grand in it and no work to the head all bottom end kinda scary still have alot to go probably another grand or so here are some pics fuel line stuff filter and few other fittings are on back order Attachment 17110 what could this be Attachment 17111 rods ftw Attachment 17112 fuel line material again Attachment 17113 wire hareness tucking material hard to believe that sh*t was 50 bucks http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...gra-ls/015.jpg |
