This weekend I think I am going wingless on the Stealth, so that will happen, I need to install my Tyla Ground Wire Kit and clean up some of the engine bay, maybe re-arrange some wires and such.
jerked more crap out of the bay that was not needed. gettin it ready for tomorrow as she is off to the machine shop AGAIN LOL. 2 times in one year!
Installed my new powder coated intake plenum, drove it around my neighborhood and then parked it for the winter.
haha you know you wanna ;)Quote:

Are you still rockin' the e-manage for tuning Adam? I look forward to seeing your car back at the track again because years ago it gave me inspiration to build my car. Originally I wanted 13Ts, then it was E16Gs, T3s after that, and now I'm back to either DR-750s, some MTC turbos, or T3s again depending on if I keep the stock motor in my Stealth or drop my stroker in. Honestly, I just want to drive the car right now.
geezuz, are you like a fountain of youth for 96 banana's? you've had like ten of them!Quote:

I didn't work on my Stealth's motor but my spare motor I tore apart today to get it ready to rebuild.

Yeah I had twin 5857s on my 3.5L Pampena Stroker in my 93 VR-4. The local machine shop incorrectly replaced the copper o-rings from the previous owner and those didn't seal up when the car was running. Between that and another $5k in paint/bodywork I had enough with the project. I've since fixed the short block, sold my turbos as well as most of the rest of the car, and acquired a few more 3S's. I'll be putting some DR Stage 3 heads on the stroker, my 272 cams in, 3SX cam gears, and Itallo billet oil pump gears on. From there it'll sit until I decide what to do. I've got a Quaife front diff going in my 5-speed and I'd like to get the SCE center diff put in also before I swap the Stealth over to a 5-speed, but I may not have the money for that. Whichever direction I go I want 600AWHP maybe more. Once you get used to the power it's hard not to keep going.Quote:

I looked at the Stealth in the garage under the car cover. Maybe i will take her out for a cruise tomorrow.
I got tired of the black look under the hood so I tore one of my engines apart sanded like crazy and am now starting to polish everything aluminum on it. So far I'm loving the results :)
