Oh lucky you

 

damn looks like you mean business now. Nice car and keep us posted

 

I'll definitely keep the pictures coming. I'm cleaning parts right now.

She's got 140,000+ miles and has been through snow, salt, dirt-tracked, mud, rocks, you name it!

She needs some serious love.

 

Can't wait to see what numbers you make when you push the boost on your new built block.

 

Damn that was fast! lol. I was expecting to see pics of a motor build in the winter lol.

Congrats Shawna!

 

Should be a beast. You're running just a standard 35r correct? Will you be upgrading to a hta variant or similar?

 

We will be keeping it a normal 3582r and see where it goes. Honestly, I still see no reason to upgrade.

Thanks guys. I think I'm sticking with this turbo. Emery likes to "test" things so he will probably find the limit on this turbo, then decide what to do next.

For a while, I missed the stock turbo, and was a little bummed about the lag in the 35r... but since mine is up on a lift, I've been driving Emery's brother's stock turbo Evo VIII... and now I miss the 35r!

I'm finding the immediate boost kind of annoying. No matter what you do, you're blowing off like a ricer everywhere.

It's weird how once you don't have it... you appreciate it more.

I love my car

Anyhoo. Here's the 140,000+ motor. Looks good. Still has the cross-hatching. Most of it's life it was on 93 octane, it's only been on E85 for about 6 months (if that)

2.0 or 2.1?

 

Badass And I love your photography

 

Nice! Love the pics too!! What size AN fittings do you use on the radiator? -12 or -16?

 

Shawna, u don't Play

 

New motor is a 2.0.


We use -10 for the radiator.

Thanks guys and girls!

Here's a few more. I'll try and get a few up everyday.





Got the Hotchkis Bar in



Like I said... she used to be dirt-tracked. I have alot of cleaning to do!!

 

Haha, you cut a few pounds of weight from your car just by taking the dirt out. You should post that in the weight savings thread.
