got some things going on for this thing


Despite my earlier criticism of your car during its build it does look bloody good, and in the best colour too, I`m liking it more and more each time I see it.

ok guys my car is finally running again so enjoy!!!!! i dont have pics of everything like the new pistons rods etc sorry i jus took pics when i rememebered

this was my motor when i pulled it


the old ct20b



then the block this was the point when i decided to not be cheap and got new piston's rods.. and sent the block out to get cleaned....i originally honed it my self but hey whatever


this was during reassembly it got new rings, rod bearings,crank bearings,thrustbearings, every seal gasket... i rebuilt the oil pump..new waterpump and t stat


this is the head after it came back from the machine shop it was also gasket matched lol extra hp lol!!!


these are the high lift cams that are now in the engine...i had to grind the head down to fit


this is when it back together but i took it apart again to add some other things


then santa came in the middle of august i guess and this is how it sits


gotta finish the meth...no2 and get it tuned so hopefully ill hit some serious numbers!!!

Near norwood. Hit me up we can cruise around
I would love to sometime soon, but I still have some minor things to do to my car until it's back to the way it was (i got into a front end accident to say the least)
hopefully tomorrow i can get the ecu in
so its been awhile since ive updated this thing...since ive got it running i haven really done much... i took it to a show took home 2 trophies.... i also gotten around to cleaning the car up.... like painting the gas tank rust proofing underneath... i installed an apexi avcr-type r..and also picked up an aem boost gauge.... right now ive been running around on 10lbs... but with the current mods the car feels faster than stock....so whenever i get around to 24 psi is should really move...well all i actually need to do is turn boost up.... but that wont be untill next year ill let the tuners do that

jeez dude! thats one sophisticated b/c! boost specific apps self learning mode?! yikes! to quote a movie... "Not a bad way to spend $10,000" lol

i feel like a cave man with my manual boost controler after reading about that avcr.

Happy boosting man! we want MOAR video! and what water/meth are u using? im leaning towards devils own. its almost half the price as AEM

Well I have the aem one because it has the level sensor and boost cut features so when it drops a ceartain level it sends me back to my safe boost setting... plus the controller let's u set begining boost and end boost so it gets a progressive spray wich helps your midrange...and less transitonal knock

Pipes,

Did the 7th gen seats go in easily? I just picked up a set for my car as well.

Keep it up, I'll have to see the car sometime, I'm in Cambridge every weekend.
