So the story Continues

Thx can't wait to drive it. Also has a v-lip to be installed. and fmic painted black. should be a beast.

 

man that fmic cleaned up good

 

very nice.

But for some reason, it just doesnt have that agresive front look like it should...

 

Small core FMIC and believe it or not....the amber lens in the lights makes it look tame and stock. The Perrin made mine look aggressive. But looking good justin. Gotta ask though....is that bent/dented fins on the FMIC I'm seeing?

Yea its a bent fin, piece of wood flew off a truck on ga400

 

It's very mildly agressive. I'm thinking with the fmic black, it should add a slight bit more stealth. This would help with the gawking and ga400 civics and such bothering me.

Old setup.

 

yea i dont know what the hell brian did to clean it but he definatly cleaned it.

 

Sweeping gauges.

 

Went out a gave my car a hug.

To paint black front mount or not black...humm

Damn its dirty.

Fitment...like Rubin Studdard in skinny jeans.


Cockpit

 

Now just needs a few minor things and a tune.

 

and black FMIC.

 

how would you go about blacking out the fmic? from what ive heard anodozing is the way to go, radiator spray/rattle can is too thick

 

Anyone know how to photoshop? Just want see what black would look like. Brian i think is planning on using radiator spray.

 

i think they should always be black, only color car i think its ok to have silver is a silver car. so you could get away with either.

 

it's called a Sharpie

 

Start-up tune should be monday/tuesday...hopefully driving shortly after.

 

I wouldn't paint the FMIC.....it'll be a rock chipped mess soon.

 

there will be a Sharpie in the glove box for touch up

 

Ohhhhh Sh!t. Received start-up map. eaking closer to completion.

 

Getting closer. Clutch needs to be bled and then tuning.

 

Hope you get it back before Xmas...




10 months later.

 

Shitttt you and me both lol. And I hope when it get it back, i don't have to put it back in the shop again lol.

 

Dear Santa...



LOL.

 

Yay car has been towed. Time for tuning.

 

Just In Time for Christmas!

 

:clap:

Looked out side...hell has not frozen over. Yet.

 

LMAO. Could still be week or two before I officially get her back.

 

Festivus for the rest of us -Cramer lol.

 

happy Kwanza you racist bastards

 

uh oh...


battery replacement.

 

When is the tune?

 

To Be Continued...but hopefully very very very very very very very very soon.

 

Tuning on hold. Indefinitely. Few issues arose.

 

okay - i'll bite

what happened?

 

We should really start a pool for what day you are getting tuned.

At this rate....I will put my money on Tuesday, March 6th.

 

He said on hold "indefinitely"

 

"Going a different route"

 

Here we go again...

:drama:

 

Kinda but not exactly :/

 

My different route has been slow but I think it will be worth it in the end!

 

If I can offload my block...hell even if I can't. Here is the block that will be replacing the current setup:

 

Can I ask how much and why?

 

How much for sale or for buy.

 

Just looked up the for sale add. Used built engines just scare me, you make a lot of assumptions when you buy a used engine. Especially if you don't pull it apart.

Was your car the one I listened to up at All-Pro the other day?

 

Trust me, it will defiantly be inspected before going in. I'm not sure if it was mine or not. I doubt it, my motor is out.

 

I agree with Ball. I bought a used built engine off of this board and had ball engines take it apart just to be safe and make sure everything was ok. Turns out all 4 pistons were cracked. The seller lost his job and could not afford to refund anything back to me so I paid a premium for essentially a short block I had to put new pistons into.

 

I've seen two more sets of broken JE forgings since then.

OP, you need to find out if that engine has the JE full round forgings in it. If it has the JE FSR forgings in it then it might be ok.
