maybe 2010 is the year this thing hits the track?

[Robert]

well, i just realized this forum didn't have my build on it and it looks kinda lonely so yeah...
enjoy. this has to be one of the slowest builds in the history of mankind so take your time when looking at it
here is the car as it sits now.


a little more paint, some assembly and some wiring and this pile should be ready to hit the track.

[Nick D]

[Volchok]

[smerph42]

[Wes]

Can't wait to see it after the tune.

[My LS hates me]

any updates Robert? i knw you have pics of some of the things you did this past summer.

[Robert]

oh, wow. i forgot this was even here!
ill try and update it a little later on. need to rummage around for pictures and ive been fairly preoccupied recently. (right now i can only find cell phone quality photos)

the chassis wiring is done though and it appears that the electrical system is functioning correctly.
I did find out some interesting things about the way painless wires their fuse blocks though, more to come on this issue at a later date. but for now make sure to check the fuse block wiring (specifically the constant power wires for the relays on your painless harness before you do any wiring if you are currently doing a painless harness.

[Robert]

so apparently i'm an idiot...
lets get to work.
this is nearly 5 years worth of pictures, so the order is not exact.
ive had this car for a good while now, and the car has come a long way over the years, even though maybe not in the right direction.
in the beginning the car was stock. i wanted something i could beat the shit out of and not care, this car fit the bill:

then car used to be ka-t... but that was too reliable for me so i got rid of it since i couldn't deal with all the track time the car could put up with.











at one point i got tired of the car being ugly, even though it was awesome...
so i got ready to try and make it "better"
so we tore the whole car apart

added additional bars to the cage and worked the chassis a little











the best motor ever:

paint?:












kpr knuckles(from nellis flip-a-bitch competition)

z32 cable bracket:

shoehorned a universal griffin radiator into the s13 from some guys chevy nova or something:

enjoy

heres kinda where it is now, started this bastard up, drove it out of the garage...
sounds mean as hell, it was awesome.
it was loud enough i'd be suprised if the HOA doesnt fine us.

i imagine giving birth would have maybe half the the same sense of accomplishment i had upon sitting in this car and firing it up... maybe half..

car is running in this picture:


then drove it back into the garage where it will sit for at least a month.
im all pumped on this car now after getting to sit inside it and make it move instead of pushing it around, so im trying to get back down before one the the next couple events so this thing could make it to the track.

[My LS hates me]

It runs I have fucking seen it!!!! Sounds like a V8.
