What did you do today to your 3/S?

[AdamVR4]

I'd rather do bearings in-car than valve stem seals if that gives you an idea of the difficulty. Gump is right - main bearings with the timing belt on is a fair bit worse. Ive only done that once or twice (my car). But ive replaced ~15 sets of bearings in cars from all over texas and oklahoma since '04. You need lots of gloves and patience.

I know the motor comes first on the list but have u been thinking about what the next set is gonna be ?

I'm following the mtc builds closely for sure.

You should have your 16Gs upgraded to Stage 2 billet MTC TD05s. Tq and hp curves on a 3.5L are nearly identical rpm for rpm up to 600AWHP/600AWTQ compared with a 3.0L DR-750 setup except the 3.5L Stage 2 setup pulls away after 600 making much more power. Spool wouldn't feel exactly the same as the DR-750s but the power down low is the same which would mean traction issues in 1st and 2nd lol. I think that would be an awesome setup.

I'm already almost bored with the Devastators. It'd definitely fun and everyone that rides asks me how it gets old, but I guess that adrenaline rush from a first time pull at a newer/higher power power level is way too addicting unfortunately. Lol. If my time allows I will be putting in the 3.5L stroker, DR Stage III heads, DR-950s, 272 cams, UR gears, billet oil pump, IPS race pan, Quaife diff, SCE center diff, CFDS, billet subframe bushings, flashed ECU, TGE dual pump hangar, Pampena fuel rails, SX AFPR, fuel pressure/oil temp/water temp/oil pressure gauges, BAP, and probably a bunch of other things I'm forgetting that are sitting around in storage because I'm still collecting supporting mods back from selling most of my bigger setup 2 years ago. Between not having all the parts including a few expensive $2k+ items, not having time, and wishing it was a simple as my stock motor/Devastator setup I hope I will get it done next winter.

So far I couldnt be more disappointed by freight quote / pilot freight services / action freight.

I scheduled pick up for tonight between 6 and 10 via freightquote. Left work early to be home by 6. Called freight quote to see what was going on. They tell me that pilot showed my shipment as picked up. A minute later they tell me pilot tried to call me (they didnt) and stopped by but I wasnt home (what was the 4 hr window for?)...

So I call pilots local carrier (action) and the shipping number I have is useless to them so I have to call pilot directly to get the fucking pilot number. Then I call back action to find out that they wont deliver after 6 pm.

At least I talked them out of needing some form declaring there were no fluids in the block.

So. Fucking. Stupid.

That sucks to hear. I hate fuck ups.

Replaced my old crappy and leaking KSport coilovers with Megan coilovers tonight. These seem like a much nicer design and build.

IPS oil pan is on. It is really an amazing piece, if you haven't seen one in person it is difficult to realize what a quality part it is. Finally we have a pan that holds a lot, has trap doors and baffleing, and doesn't look like someone just started welding parts on to the stocker (even though that is what it is on course).

It looks to be on par with the moroso race pans. A lot of the other pans that were available at one time looked like something I could've built in my garage, but this one looks like something you see installed on TV.

addco sway bar is next, then gauges.

Nice. How many miles were on then?

It really is a nice pan. Had they not sent me the wrong one I would have had it on back in Sept. I probably won't install it now until I pull the motor in prep for a 5-speed swap. Let me know what you think of the Addco rear sway bar Chris. I'm debating if I should get one because I have a 1-piece PST CFDS I don't want to hit. It's kind of pointless to put on my front Saner bar without a rear since that will make understeer worse.

I went out the to car, found out to my surprise it blew out the dipstick last weekend, took a quick wipe and once over, and left it for this weekend to clean.

Got the trans on the ground. Wondering if I can somehow resurface and reuse the pressure plate since there is some debris on it some minor grooves or if I have to get a new pressure plate :/
