[speedaddict]

dope feature, my only complaint is the photographer didn't catch that awesome candy, car just looks black!

[MDSC]

Thanks Unfortenatly it was overcast so no way you could catch it, location was also by the train and metro tracks. We waited for a while trying to catch a train and nothing when we started to move to the paved area to do he rig
Shots, the train went by lol

nice feature ... your sc is clean

[MDSC]

Thanks everyone, heres a small update. Motor As i mentionioned before started pushing coolant into overflow, once started slightly overheated after a check over i found what i was kinda afraid off"blown headgasket" In every intention of making the Liberty BBQ i tore the car down the week before and got TT headgasket and ARP studs just to find out upon further inspection that block had some pitting so it needed to be dissasembled and decked and then rebuild.....so I decided to go ahead with GTE swap. Started about 4 weeks ago heres some pictures, sorry they are only iphone pics between working on customers cars, working on this on my own i dont have time to take pics with real camera.















For now i'm just getting the Non VVTI Aristo 2j, Doing a swap and leaving it stock with a few dress up parts, this came up earlier then i thought i was planing on swapping over the winter...oh well hopfully we'll make Wesfest in NJ..thats the plan anyways.Should be picking up the motor in a week or two.

Great progress mayne
What're your plans in the long run with the GTE? Oh and did you have the W58 or R154 tranny...?

Thanks , the plan is to get the car running and see how I feel. Def not doing anything to it untill winter. The trans is another issue , w58 as of right now that is why I'm keeping the car at stock boost. Def doing bpu and r154 over the winter and I'll see how long that will last

[Kouki Monster]

That is whats up!!!!

[MDSC]

Thanks fellas , little update rerouted the clutch line under the booster vs stock it loops on top of the booster and deleted abs

[Kouki Monster]

Love how it went from omg knock offs your a gay, and to hmm, puttin it up where most people dont go on this site. Though, it does make it easier when the SC has a straight 6 and can shave the engine bay out. where in a new Q its all plastic in there lol

Lol from screaming and yelling to sielence ... Maybe its a sign that for once
I'm doing something right . I must add I did not expect to spend this much time On semi shave . I kinda just just dove in and then realized this has to be the worst designed engine bay with all the humps, bumps and
Holes it made it extremely difficult to sand ESP. Bondo

[Kouki Monster]

yeah, its weird they are like that. but I think it has to do with crumple zones.

[Juzzo]

Same thing with the GS/Aristo, I couldn't be arsed to pull the motor out, so I just painted as it was = like Swiss cheese

[Midway-VIP]

makes me miss my sc

[NET]

[MDSC]
