The digital display on the RPM indicator is pretty trick, I love that front I/C pipe too, my factory peice doesn't fit correctly with my 2 core. I have to figure out my car now so I can come see the car paul.

It’s been a long road my friend. The 10:1 TT was a beast for sure. It was a lot of fun to drive but no traction does get old.

What do you need to do to your car? Get it going and I’ll have a mini meet. I’m due for a chill and grill anyway.

Awesome build man! Cant say I'm surprised about the LMI turbos blowing lol. We've had a bunch of people send their "almost new" blown LMI turbos in for complete rebuilds.

Good catch on the timing belt! Wow that could have been really devestating!

Yeah I lucked out on the TB. I have to say if I was using cam covers I wouldn't have known what it was and it could have been possibly worse. Just one instance where no covers helped avoid a bad deal.

Can you PM me some prices on getting those turbos fixed up for me? I want to sell them but I might have them fixed before I do. I have two sets that need work actually. The others are a set of old 3SX turbos. I might need to just give you a call.

Some of the latest

Well I busted my ass to get the car ready for Saturday and it looks like it paid off. It seems to be doing better than ever.



The repaired clutch looks great.

PST aluminum drive shaft, Like it, I haven't raised hell in the car yet but there is no drivetrain slop and it seems to be a bit quicker when you tromp on it.

The damper delete turned out nice.

The balance tube is great! No surge at all and it just feels so smooth. I wish I would have done this sooner.

I'm still adjusting the coilovers, drove it to work on hard and drove it back on soft. It seems more bouncy on hard and I've heard it was the other way around. I can definitely drive faster on the twisties but need more time to really give an opinion.

Nice man!

Sooooooo.... The balance tube was good to you huh? When mine comes apart in June I will have to invest in doing it. Have you enough time with it to be sure the surge is gone?

Coilovers are best when driving fast.
They will beat the shit out of you on a parking lot.
