Nice Manifold that’s not made anymore. Works great in my B2.

Congrats Sam!

For planning to get the Coupe back in the mix and for the new opportunity/responsibly!

Yeah, get that think running right before you start tossing more power parts at it.

The cams will be cool though.

It's rare to have a set of tires ready to trash, a camera, and a legal place to shred them:)

The transmission is great, no more 2nd gear on the track. 3rd, 4th and 5th at buttonwillow now, the way it should be

Perfect storm

The FYF sounds perfect except I do like my taller 6th gear that I ...

Check car-part.com, not sure what the options around you are like but there's a bunch in the $3-500 range around here. If you're not in a rush I'd be happy to grab one and ship it down/over.

The trans for my next project is going to be a wide 1st 5spd box w/wide 1st, FYF main shaft, Allroad 2nd ...

Roll bar looks proper. Glad you were able to get it done in time for track time.

Tire casualty like that means they are perfect for skidpad shenanigans.

BTW, I'm on the hunt for an FYF.

These came off my 4000 when I upgraded to 1000 cc injectors for e85.

Worked well for 350-380 whp (depending on dyno) with GT3071 on 20v Turbo.

Discount for purchase at Battle Born BBQ next weekend.

$50 shipped

These fit well on my 4000, but don't need a second set of wheels/tires anymore.

No curb rash. Lots of rubber left. Includes proper centering rings for 57.1 hub

17x7.5 Rota Slipstream et45 4x108 in Hyper Black with Pirelli PZero Nero 225/35r17

Hard to find tires in this size.

Looking great.

Looking forward to seeing the transformation since I last saw the Oceanic beast.

It would be great to meet ya at Vegas

Looks great Ben!!

Decided against the cheap tiny hotels and went with an airbnb for the weekend. Same price, with bigger, nicer, comfortable beds and a kitchen.

Hope they dont mind oil drips in the street.....

Stoked to see everybody this weekend!


Wiley, not much stuff posted on facebook really. Everybody seems ...

Dang Ben, I was hoping to feel the power of a xona on an AAN. But take your time on the paint and body, it will be worth it in the end.

Double dang, Darin when are we going to cross paths?

I'm not on Facebook, has there been any info posted about a schedule for this weekend?

We're already here ...

Going to be upgrading to an e85 tune while I'm there.

Anyone want some 550 cc injectors? Make me an offer.

That's awesome!

Soo sweet!

You said my $$ was going to the URQ, but I didn't realize you had already restarted this project.

This is awesome to see. That front end is going to look BA.

Sweet!

Wow Sam!

I had no idea you had put so much blood, sweat, and tears into the car leading up to the BBQ. The coupe looked awesome! Very nice work on the paint.

Great to finally meet you after all these years.

I happen to like my coast

Haha, you're right not all of the East Coast is bad. I fixed my previous post.

Great pics.

Such an awesome event. Great to finally meet a bunch of you guys after so many years stuck in the DC area.

Not sure of surface temps, but EGTs are in the 1200-1500 range.

Thanks for the replies guys.

That's what I figured. High temp thermal dispersant it is.

Just looking for a coating that will handle the heat. Just doing some beautification not expecting performance improvement.

Anybody know why the OEM 5-cyl Wastegate has heat sink fins?

Would coating it with ceramic coating be a bad idea because it will retain heat?

Or would a high heat thermal dispersant be better for that?

Thanks in advance.
