David's TD05 Machine - Work inprogress - LOTS OF IMAGES

[DarkHeroKOTRAJ]

So it's been a while since I have updated, but here is the new things going on:

1. Purchased a BMW Z4 35i and modded it with a new ECU



2. Purchased a Mercedes ML-550 fully loaded (all but the 6.3 motor)



3. The VR-4 has been in Charlotte NC getting a lot of custom work performed to it; pictures I have are not that current, but wanted to give an idea of what to show some of the work in progress:




4. Finished putting the transmission in the SL and also about to swap in the Chrome Flash ECU.

5. Went to South Korea for 2 weeks and about a week in New York City for new years; also getting ready for 3 weeks going back to Japan and then to China.

Also I did not do my Christmas lights this year; I was out of the country when I was suppose to start the setup and I had to finish my friends car before he moved.

Wow, you have a lot going on! Any more pics of the cage? Is that cage on your SLTT or the VR4?

[DarkHeroKOTRAJ]

Thanks for the comments, the cage is on the VR4. I thought I had more pictures of it, but I can't find them at the moment. The owner of Retro Designs in NC did the work and I would have to say it is one of the best looking jobs I have seen, hence why his shop is making my custom fenders, scoops, and paint work. He is going to take some more pictures in the next week or so and once I get the car back I will take some more myself.

I am quite excited about getting it back by May, it's been a year since I have seen it.

Damn, did you hit the lotto or something?

How much power is it making?

Damn, did you hit the lotto or something?

LOL, Nope... I have everything paid off and my house later this year will be 100% paid out. I also received a promotion last year (with a substation pay increase) and my side company has been trending well for the last 3 years.

How much power is it making?

The VR4 on it's 3rd pull (after many house working on drive ability) made 497hp and 502 torque @14.3 boost, but then the new mechman alternator died and took cylinder 6 with it. I rebuilt the motor the weekend I came back from 3sx and then sent it back to get body work since I was going out of country for a while. From the looks of it we where thinking around 530 to 560 at waste gate pressure was going to be the target hp.

The SL has not been to the dyno yet, but will be soon. This weekend I have working on putting this in:

Sorry people been a bit busy, but the car is getting ready to come home soon; all that's left is body work and some painting. Here are a few teaser pictures:

any other shots of the fenders - different angles?

[DarkHeroKOTRAJ]

I have 2 more, but I was not the one taking the pictures. When it comes back I will take a ton of pictures; there is still a lot more things to be done.
