how ridiculous is that clutch to drive with?


Its not too bad. I definitely like my sprung clutch better for daily driving but you just have to rev this one a little higher to start. I get dirty looks late at night while leaving red lights cause of the revving to get going. Compared to what I have heard about it, its actually very streetable if youre not a pansy haha

#341270 I haven't updated in a while again but I've definitely been busy. Got a really good upgrade that will probably shoot the car down into the 10's. But I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I decided that paying $300 for a catch can kit was crazy do we decided to make one and I got it powdercoated wrinkle black.

Image
Image

Got a call from a friend, he had one of these laying around his speed shop. Picked up this monster. Runners are HUGE.
Image
Image
Image

While I was there he talked me into picking up a head package.
Image
Image
Image

And then finally the BIG UPGRADE

-81.5 mm bore

Hopefully sometime soon I will. I can't wait to get them on. I'm currently at the hospital with my wife who is getting induced with our first child so the slicks will have to wait haha

#341429 Congrats on your first born man!, mine is a year and 2 months old now and I still haven't touched my car in like 6 months, it is so hard to get the motivation to work on your car when your baby takes up all your time and money.

But you will love and cherish every minute with your newborn, enjoy it. =)
Again congrats bud and I hope to see some progress unlike my procrastinating ass, lol

#342213 More racecar parts! Made a trip to Dynamic performance the other day and come home with a bunch of goodies.

First and foremost, these guys were awesome. Rolando met me at the door and brought me around the shop and I was only really there're for some block fittings and a diffuser. Made a great first impression.

Anyway here are some of the goodies I got while I was there.
Rear diffuser
Image

Block fittings for a catch can
Image

I also walked out with this Full race weighted shift knob
Image

Finally, after talking with Rolando about my set up he obviously suggested a catch can. Then he offered me the catch can of their Black Lavender race car. The one they infamously crashed. It has a dent and stripped threads on one of the fittings but I couldn't pass a chance to use a DP custom made catch can
Image

The following day I went and picked up this little gem. GSR Trans, 0 miles on rebuild. Carbon coated synchros 1-5. Rebuilt 2,3,4. And top it off with a quaiffe LSD all for $750. Couldn't beat it. He even cracked the case open for me to see it all. Anyway, here's some pics
Image
Image
Image

Later that same day a friend of mine gave me a call an I picked this up. A kirkey seat and 5 point harness for $100
Image
Image

Finally, today I picked this up. AFI custom back door intercooler. Came with all piping and is in great shape and HUGE.
Image

Can't wait for the weather to break so I can start putting some parts on the car.

#343497 I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted on here. A little progress was made. Still waiting for the weather to break.

First off, I bought more parts! I went to DP for another small shopping spree.

I finally picked up my BWR top mount manifold. Really good quality and I'm very impressed.
Image
Image

Then on to the head build...

Supertech HD200 valve springs and retainers (100psi)
Image
Image

Then I picked up my 1100cc injectors
Image
Image

Supertech inconel valves.
Image
Image

I also picked up my gates timing belt and got better pictures of my DP scatter sheild.
Image
Image

I found the head as well. Got a deal on it. It's a 95 GSR head with skunk2 valves, valve springs, retainers and has 0 miles since rebuilt.
My plan is to take all the skunk2 stuff off of this head and replace it with my Supertech and keep the skunk2 for the b16 head I have that I'm not using
Image
Image
Image

The head will be getting new valve guides, seals and fully rebuilt/milled by Headgames motor works.

And just for fun, a pic of my little one rocking her moms Dynamic Performance shirt. *note the finger*
Image

Once the weather breaks the real work will begin.
:woot:
